Understanding Shared Sessions in Legends of Learning
When logged into Legends of Learning on a browser, the active session typically continues across all new tabs. This functionality helps users maintain a consistent experience throughout their interaction with the platform. However, it may cause confusion in shared environments, such as among family members or students in the same household or classroom. To ensure that different users can access their accounts when using a shared device, it is necessary to log out from a currently active session before logging in with a different username and password.
How to Switch Between Accounts in the Same Browser
Follow these steps to switch user accounts effectively:
For Switching from a Parent Account to a Student Account:
Ensure you are logged out of the parent account before attempting to log in as a student. The session will otherwise persist across tabs and devices.
Once logged out, sign in again here using the student’s username and password.
For Switching Between Child Accounts:
From the currently active child account, locate and click on the Gear icon on the toolbar.
Select Log Out to end the active session.
Prompt the other child to log in using their unique username and password.
For Switching From Student View to Teacher Account:
From the currently active student view, locate and click on the Gear icon on the toolbar.
Select Log Out to end the active session.
Sign in to your teacher account here.
These steps are applicable in all scenarios where more than one user needs to switch accounts on a shared browser. By logging out of any currently active session, you ensure that the next user starts their session afresh without any overlap from the previous one.
FAQs
Why does a new tab open in the same logged-in session?
If you are already logged into an account, all new tabs opened in the same browser will default to the current session. To avoid this, always log out of the session before allowing another user to sign in.
Can I use different browsers for different users?
Yes, using separate browsers or private browsing (incognito mode) can help maintain distinct sessions without requiring repeated logouts and logins.
By following the above instructions, you can effectively manage multiple user sessions within a shared browser environment, ensuring seamless access for all users without account conflicts.
