Overview of Sonday System Digital Platform

Websites

Sonday System Digital - https://digital.winsorlearning.com

This is the website for teachers to use to instruct their students using their Sonday System Digital products. Teacher accounts are created and products are assigned by administrators via the Digital Admin site. Teachers must be assigned one or more products to begin instruction.

Sonday System Digital Admin - https://digitaladmin.winsorlearning.com

This is the website for school or district administrators to manage their products, teachers, and roster information, and to access the utilization reports. Additional administrators can be set up by the Primary Administrator for the License Group. 

License Groups / Customer Types
Sonday System Digital can be set up for various different types of organizations (schools, school districts, non-profits, etc.) to allow for the purchase and allocation of digital products. The term "License Group" represents the collection of product licenses, administrators, teachers, and roster information that are associated with each other. These License Groups can be set up in a hierarchy to allow for a district/school mapping or parent/child organizational structure. Schools are typically set up as a single license group, while districts are created with a top-level district License Group and however many school-level License Groups are needed within the district.
Users
Sonday System Digital has an email-address-based user system. Users are created either by the Sonday Customer Support Team during the setup or onboarding process or by administrators when creating or onboarding teachers via their roster management area. Users are uniquely identified via their email and have their uniquely salted, non-reversible, SHA-256 Hashed passwords stored with the security standards that meet or exceed NIST SP 800-63, Revision 4. Users can have a teacher or administrator role for one or more License Group. Students do not have user accounts in the system, and all student data is generated by teachers.
System Roles
Sonday System Digital has three main system roles:  Administrators (including Primary Administrators), Teachers, and Students.
Administrators: Administrators are responsible for setting up the roster information in the system, including teachers, classes, students, and enrollments. They are also responsible for assigning product licenses to teachers so that they will have access to the products they need in the teaching site. Finally, administrators can view utilization and progress reports for teachers, classes, and students. If your organization is set up with more than one License Group, administrators will be presented a selection list of License Groups to manage upon login. They must select a License Group to continue, as all information in the system is dependent upon the License Group that owns it.

Primary Administrator: A Primary Administrator for your License Group is created by our Customer Support Team during your initial setup. Once configured, only the Primary Administrator can create other administrators for your License Group(s). They also have all the same abilities as a standard administrator.

Teachers: Teachers are responsible for instructing students via the products they have been assigned. To access the system, a teacher must first be created by a License Group administrator, then assigned one or more products by an administrator. Teachers must activate their accounts by clicking on a link in their email (generated automatically on account creation by the administrator) and creating a password. If a user account already exists for a teacher (for example, in a different License Group), they will be activated with the new License Group upon their next login. If a License Group is using the rostering tool for automatic onboarding or the SSO tool, they do not need to go through activation. Teachers are not able to access the Digital Admin site and solely use the Sonday System Digital teaching site (though a Primary Administrator can set them up with an administrator account using the same email, if desired). Teachers are able to create students and classes to organize the students in. All students and classes and their associated data are visible to administrators of their License Group, and administrators may add students and classes, remove them, and/or move them between teachers.

Students: Students do not have user accounts in the system, and the limited actions of students are controlled by the teachers. If configured by a teacher, students may be able to follow along with a lesson on their own device by going to a specific URL or scanning a QR code. Students may do independent reading via the same mechanism if the Readers add-on products have been purchased and assigned to their teacher. Student data that is tracked by the system is dependent on teacher input and includes session attendance, session history, and assessment scores.
