Important

Use this method every time you log in. Do not use your invitation email again.


4. How do I join my teacher’s class?

Your teacher will put you in a class. Ellii does not have a video platform for online classes. Ellii has the content and activities for class and homework. Use email or text to ask your teacher how you are going to meet online. Your teacher may choose a video platform such as Zoom or Google Hangouts.

In a video chat, your teacher can share his/her screen. You can do some Ellii tasks together. This tool is called Broadcast. Your teacher can also send you tasks to do for homework. You can do them on your mobile device, tablet, or computer and then send them to your teacher.


5. How do I see my homework?

Step #1

Log in at ellii.com/students.

Step #2

Enter your Username and Password.

Step #3

You are now on your Student Dashboard. This is where your Assignments are.

Step #4

Look at the To Do list. Do you see a lesson with a bell? This is your new homework.

Look at the Due Date. Do your homework before this day and time. (It is a good idea to click on the lesson to see how many tasks your teacher assigned.)


6. How do I do my homework?

Step #1

Log in at ellii.com/students.

Step #2

Click on the lesson in your To Do list.

Step #3

Choose a task you haven’t done yet (e.g., Listen & Type).

Step #4

Click Start.

Step #5

Read the instructions.

Step #6

Start the task.

Step #7

Do the task. Click the arrow at the bottom of your screen to go to the next question.

Step #8

Submit your answers.

Your teacher will be able to see your answers after you submit them. You can also try a task again! For some tasks, you can even fix your answers.


7. How do I see my results?

Step #1

After you finish each task, click I’m Finished or Submit (or advance the arrow).

Step #2

Click Review Answers.

Tasks with one correct answer (e.g., True or False) will show your results right away. Some tasks don’t have results (e.g., Read & Listen). Your teacher will need to check some of your written tasks.

Step #3

Click Try Again to redo the task.

Tip #1

Your teacher will see your results and attempts (the number of times you tried a task). Your teacher will also see how much time you spent on each task. This is how your homework looks for your teacher. When your teacher clicks View Results, he or she sees your answers.

Tip #2

For some written answers, your teacher can send you feedback about your ESL Library homework. There is no Score, but you will see a pen notification on your dashboard if there is feedback. Click on the pen to see your teacher's feedback.


8. I forgot my username or password. What can I do?

Ask your teacher to check your username in his or her My Students list. Your teacher can reset your password there and tell you what it is. Log in with this new temporary password. Then go to My Profile and choose Change Password.

9. How do I ask more questions about Ellii?

You can write a question in the Comments. If it’s about using Ellii digital as a student, I will approve your question and answer it.
