Stage 2: Student Avatars

In the second stage, your students get a login. Then they can log into their account and customize their avatar. Their avatars will be shown in the class dashboard. On each level up, students can equip cooler gear. In total for 35 levels, so you can keep them engaged for an entire school year when they would level up each week.

Students can also use powers themselves (and buy items when gold is enabled). They can either do this directly, or send requests that require your approval.

Quick Start Guide

There's no "enable" switch for Stage 2. It automatically activates once students configure their avatars.

1. Get Student Login Codes

Each student has a unique login code:

1. Go to Class Settings (gear icon)
2. Click "Student Logins" in the left menu
3. You'll see each student's Name and Login Code

2. Distribute Codes to Students

Share codes with your students along with their name:

• Print individual cards for each student
• Send codes through your school's messaging system
• Write codes in planners/agendas

Students will use their name and login code to access their account at the student login page.

Codes are case-insensitive, so students don't need to worry about capitalization. You can regenerate a code anytime if a student loses theirs.

3. Let Students Create Avatars

When students log in for the first time:

1. They'll be prompted to "Configure your Avatar!"
2. They customize their appearance (gender, skin tone, hair, facial features)
3. After saving, Stage 2 is automatically activated for that student

4. The Class Dashboard

The class dashboard displays all student avatars in a 3D grid:

• Students can see their classmates' characters
• Click any avatar to view that student's profile
• Creates a visual representation of the class community

Student Self-Service

Student Powers & Buy Items

When students log in, they can use powers and buy shop items directly from their avatar dashboard. You decide whether they can use items instantly or need to request your approval first.

Their student dashboard shows Powers and Shop buttons (if gold is enabled):

PowersShop

Students can:

• Use powers with their earned mana (instant or request approval)
• Buy shop items with gold (if gold is enabled, instant or request approval)
• Track and cancel pending requests while waiting for your approval

Managing Student Requests

When students submit requests, you'll see them immediately in your Activity page:

• The Activity button shows a badge counter (e.g., "3" or "9+") so you always know how many requests are waiting
• A pending requests section appears at the top with all requests awaiting your response
• One-click approve or reject each request
• The system validates that students have enough mana/gold before letting you approve

All requests are tracked in the activity log, so you can see which ones were approved, rejected, or completed instantly.

Configure Approval Requirements

You have complete control over which powers and shop items require your approval. Configure each one individually based on your classroom management style.

In Class Settings → Powers, you'll find a "Needs approval" checkbox for each power. Similarly, in Class Settings → Shop, each shop item has the same option.

• ✅ Checked - Students must request approval; you review and approve/reject
• 🔲 Unchecked - Students can use the power or buy the item instantly

Next Steps

Once Stage 2 is running smoothly, consider expanding:

• Stage 3: Health System - Add consequences for misbehavior with health points
• Stage 4: Gold & Shop - Create a classroom economy with gold currency
