Getting Started Guide

To access the portal follow the steps in this guide:

To add additional teacher/instructors to you Cyber in Minecraft organisation you can use the Manage Users page.

Any Instructor/Teacher user can create a class to organise students and assign them the Cyber in Minecraft courses and capstone exam.

It is strongly advised to organise your students into classes on the portal as this can assist you in the grading process.

Comprehensive Instructor Resources including Course Outlines, Lesson Plan and Sample Answers are provided for each Cyber in Minecraft course.

An Instructor can download these by accessing the course in Instructor view which is detailed below:

Solutions to the Assessments can be found in the Lesson Plans.

For students to access the courses and credentials they will need to log into the Cyber in Minecraft portal and redeem an access code to join a class.

Students can log in using their Microsoft or Google account (see Step 2 – Log onto the Cyber in Minecraft Portal) or an instructor can create student accounts on the portal using the steps below.

For students to access the courses and credentials they will need to log into the Cyber in Minecraft portal and redeem an access code to join a class.

Students can log in using their Microsoft or Google account (see Step 2 – Log onto the Cyber in Minecraft Portal) or an instructor can create student accounts on the portal (see Step 6 – (Optional) Creating student accounts)

Once they have entered the code and clicked redeem the courses allocated to the class will be shown in the Courses section.

Students only need to redeem this code once.

Once students have redeemed the access code to gain access to the curriculum on the Portal they can access the associated course and access the Minecraft worlds for the course.

At specific times in the course students will have to upload an assessment.

We strongly recommend backing up your world after every class as the world is saved locally on that computer and it can be easily lost.

For further information on how to do this by exporting your world please see https://minecrafteducation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001427948-Importing-and-Exporting-Your-Worlds-

Once your students submit assessments on the Portal you can grade their work.

You can choose when you do this – whether when students submit or at the end of the class or once every week or so.

It is critical however that you grade their work for the teacher graded micro-credential to be awarded on successful completion of each course.

To grade students work follow the below instructions:

Once all assessment sumissions have been graded as Completed and Passed by the teacher the student can download their credential.

When your students are ready you can add the Capstone Exam to the class using the Portal – this will provide students enrolled in the class with access to the exam.
