The digital platform allows teachers to teach electronically by displaying digital content to students. This can be done instead of using print materials or as a supplement to the printed materials.
Example teacher instructions (left) and student content (right) from Sonday System 1, Level 10.
Products
The following products have at least a partial digital component which can be accessed online in Imagine Sonday System Digital:
- Sonday System 1
- Sonday System 2
- Sonday System Secondary 1 (beginning July 2026)
- Essentials
- WinVocab
- WinLit
Refer to Overview of the Imagine Sonday System products for more details on digital versus print availability. For products that have both digital and print components, the buyer (usually a district administrator) decides at the point of purchase which format(s) they'd like to use.
The rest of this article provides high-level information for educators who'll be using the digital platform for their program implementation.
License Groups / Customer Types
Use of the digital components requires license allocation. In most cases, Imagine Learning establishes the user account of the district or organization's Primary Administrator, and the Primary Administrator in turn creates additional administrator accounts as needed. Administrators then create teacher accounts, and both teachers and administrators have the ability to create student accounts and classes.
Sonday System Digital can be set up for various types of organizations (schools, school districts, non-profits, etc.). The term License Group represents the collection of product licenses, administrators, teachers, and students that are associated with each other.
You can set up the License Groups in a hierarchy to allow for a district/school mapping or a 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 as many school-level License Groups as needed within the district.
Websites
If your organization uses Clever or ClassLink, you'll access the programs through that app.
If you're logging in via a browser, there are 2 login URLs to the digital programs. Use the one that corresponds to your role. (If you need both teacher and administrator views, you'll need a separate account in both systems.)
- Teachers: Sonday System Digital - https://teacher.imaginesonday.com
This is the website teachers use to instruct their students using the 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.
- Administrators: Sonday System Digital Admin - https://admin.imaginesonday.com
This is the website school and/or district administrators use to access reports and manage their teacher accounts, product licenses, and rostering information. Administrators also have view and edit access to all students and classed created by any teacher in their License Group(s).
Note
Students do not have individual program logins like educators do. In many cases, teachers will present content to students in a group setting on a shared screen such as a smartboard, and there is no need for students to log in.
However, if their teacher configures it, students may follow along with a lesson on their own device. They must input the class's shared Follow Code at student.imaginesonday.com or scan the class's shared QR code. Students may also conduct independent reading via the Follow Along mechanism if the Digital Readers have been purchased and assigned.
Even when the Follow Along method is employed, students do not enter data or complete assessments online. At no point do students type or speak into the program. Instead, all student data that is tracked in the system is dependent on teacher input. This includes session attendance, session history, and assessment scores.
User Credentials
Imagine Sonday System Digital has an email-address-based user system for educators. Teachers and administrators are uniquely identified via their email and have uniquely salted, non-reversible, SHA-256 hashed passwords stored with the security standards that meet or exceed NIST SP 800-63, Revision 4.
Because the educator permissions vary by role, you can have a teacher and/or administrator role for one or more License Groups. If you need both roles, you can use the same email address, but each account needs to be set up and activated separately.
Within each account type, if you are assigned more than one License Group, you will be presented with a list of your groups immediately upon login, and you must select a License Group before taking further action.
For customers using manual rostering, before you can log in to your account for the first time, you must activate your account by clicking on a link in your email and creating a password. (This does not apply if your License Group is using the SSO tool or the rostering tool for automatic onboarding.)
Students do not have unique login credentials for the digital platform.

Educator accounts can be Primary Administrators, Standard Administrators, or Teachers. Each role has different permissions. This chart shows which permissions are unique to each account type and which permissions are shared.
