Integrations

The Google Classroom integration does three things once a classroom is connected:

• Roster sync — pull your Google course's students in (sync any time from the Students tab; it adds new students, never removes).
• Assignments — every session you publish is created as a Google Classroom assignment automatically, including sessions assigned to individual students.
• Grades — when a student finishes, Thinkverse turns the assignment in and posts the score back to Google Classroom.

Connecting

1. Sign in with the "Google Classroom" button on the login page — not the plain Google button. That's what grants Thinkverse permission to see your courses; the tooltip says as much.
2. Open your classroom's Settings tab and click the Google Classroom chip → Connect to a Google Classroom course → pick the course.
3. Say yes to "Sync students now?" (or do it later from the Students tab).

The chip turns green when connected, with an Open Google Classroom link.

When it misbehaves

• "Connection expired" or a permissions error — you signed in with plain Google at some point. Sign out and back in using the Google Classroom button.
• "Another Thinkverse classroom is already linked to this course" — each Google course connects to exactly one Thinkverse classroom; ask the owning teacher to add you as a co-teacher instead.
• Already linked to ClassLink — a classroom syncs from one source; pick one.
• Some districts restrict which apps can access Google Workspace — if the course list comes back empty, that's an admin conversation, and support@thinkverse.co can help you confirm.

If your district uses Clever, you and your students sign in with the Clever button on the login page — no separate Thinkverse password.

Two details that prevent most Clever confusion:

• Clever handles sign-in, not rosters. Your classes don't appear from Clever automatically. Build the roster the normal ways — class code, email import, or a Google Classroom / ClassLink sync — and Clever just becomes how everyone gets in the door.
• It matches by email. Students you added by email beforehand are recognized when they first sign in with Clever — no duplicates.

Clever availability is a district-level setup. If the button errors for your school, your admin is the right first stop.

ClassLink is the full-service integration: single sign-on and rosters.

If your district has connected ClassLink, the first time you sign in with the ClassLink button, Thinkverse imports your active classes and their students automatically — there's nothing to build by hand. Students sign in with the same button and land in the right classes.

Day to day:

• Keep a roster fresh with Students tab → Sync roster with ClassLink. This syncs to match ClassLink exactly — students removed there come off your Thinkverse roster too (unlike the Google Classroom sync, which only adds).
• The ClassLink chip in a classroom's Settings shows whether that class is connected; you can connect or disconnect there. A classroom can be linked to ClassLink or Google Classroom, not both.
• Renames survive. If you've renamed a classroom in Thinkverse, a later sync won't overwrite your name.

If your classes didn't import, the usual cause is on the ClassLink side — see the admin guide.

Students get placed from the assessment data you already have. Upload a score report and each student's Skill Path starts where their data says it should — no additional testing window.

Where: the organization's Skill Path page → Upload assessment reports. It's a three-step wizard: pick the assessment, pick the grade level, upload the file.

Supported assessments and the score used:

• NWEA — RIT score
• Renaissance Star — scaled score
• i-Ready — overall math scale score
• Arkansas ATLAS — performance level (1–4)

Rules that save you a failed upload:

• CSV only. Export to CSV from the assessment platform first — PDFs and Excel files won't take.
• One grade level per file. A mixed-grade export gets rejected; split it.
• Rows need a student email — rows without one are skipped and reported.
• Re-uploading for the same assessment overwrites previous scores, so refreshing after a new testing window is safe.

If some students in the file aren't in Thinkverse yet, you'll be asked whether to create them on the spot. And if a file won't parse, email it (or a few sample rows) to support@thinkverse.co — we'll confirm the right export settings.

When you add skills to a session, the picker searches the library four ways — and they all reach the same skills, so use whichever matches how you plan:

• Curriculum — over 70 math curricula, including IM® Math and IM® v.360 by Illustrative Mathematics, Eureka Math and Eureka Math², enVision, Big Ideas, GO Math!, Into Math, Reveal Math, Bridges, CPM, EngageNY, Open Up Resources, Carnegie Learning, Saxon, SpringBoard, Amplify Desmos, and i-Ready Classroom Mathematics. Results are organized by the curriculum's own units and lessons, so skills sit where your pacing guide expects them.
• Standard — Common Core plus state frameworks for most states (TEKS, Florida B.E.S.T., New York Next Generation, and about forty more).
• Assessment — state test blueprints (ATLAS, CAASPP, Florida FAST, NY 3–8 and Regents, PSSA, ACT), if your organization has one connected.

The point is that Thinkverse supplements the curriculum you already teach rather than replacing it — see what Thinkverse is.

Upload PDF (beta) sits on the session creation screen, next to Select skills. Drop in a worksheet you already use — from your files or Google Drive — and Thinkverse reads it, splits it into problems, and rebuilds each as an interactive question. You review the results as editable cards before anything reaches students.

The constraints that matter:

• PDF only, one file, 10 MB max.
• It must be a text PDF. A scanned worksheet — photos of paper — comes through as images and fails with "File content is empty." If it came from Word, Google Docs, or a curriculum site, you're fine.
• The first 40 problems are kept. Longer packets get cut at 40, currently without a warning.
• The occasional problem fails to convert; its card shows the error and a Retry. A card you don't fix simply stays out of the session.

Review the converted problems the way you'd review a new worksheet — the AI is good, not perfect, and the two minutes of reading beats a mid-class surprise.
