EduRails

Online learning made easy. For your whole institution.

School admin guide

For people who run an institution (admin or owner role). Open Admin in the sidebar; it only shows if you manage the active institution.

Overview

The overview shows learners active in 7 days, courses completed, certificates issued, active cohorts, pending invitations and activity over the last 8 weeks.

Members

In Members you search and filter by role and status, change roles, suspend or reactivate and remove people, one by one or in bulk. The institution always keeps at least one active owner.

RoleWhat they can do
studentStudy the courses the institution offers.
teacherAlso follow the cohorts assigned to them.
adminAlso run the institution (this guide).
ownerLike admin, and cannot be removed if they are the last one.

Invitations

In Invitations you invite by email (up to 50 at a time) with a role and cohort. They expire after 7 days; you can resend them (the previous link stops working) and revoke them.

Importing a list (CSV)

  1. Export the list from your spreadsheet: comma or semicolon separated, UTF-8 or Windows-1252.
  2. Upload it in Import CSV and choose which column is the email, name, role and cohort.
  3. Review the rows: rows with errors do not block the valid ones.
  4. Confirm and download the result report.

Single sign-on (SSO)

The SSO screen prepares sign-in with the school account (Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra ID). Until it is available for your institution, your people sign in with an email code, Google or GitHub.

Cohorts

In Cohorts you create groups (a class, a year group), set their dates, activate or deactivate them, assign teachers and manage their learners.

Certificate template

In Certificate you set the issuer, signer, title, logo, color and footer of new certificates, with a preview. Certificates already issued never change.

Features: social, gamification and AI tutor

In Features you turn the community, gamification and the AI tutor on or off. Anything Valfiguer has not enabled for your institution is locked.

For the AI tutor you also decide whether messages are sent pseudonymised (without names) to the provider. Turning it off removes it for all your learners at once.

Moderation

Moderation receives reports about your institution’s activity. You can hide (it disappears for everyone) or dismiss. Every decision is recorded in the audit log. The rules are in the community guidelines.

Privacy, DPA and learners’ rights

Your institution is the controller of its learners’ data and Valfiguer is the processor. Privacy and DPA shows the status of the data processing agreement; Valfiguer records it.

If one of your learners exercises their right of access or erasure, from the person’s page in Members you can request their export or erasure.

Settings and branding

In Settings you change the name, email language, time zone, contact, logo and brand color. The color must be readable (AA contrast); otherwise it is rejected.

Plan usage and limits

Usage and limits shows seats (members plus pending invitations), private courses and storage against your limits. EduRails is free in this version: to raise a limit, write to Valfiguer.
