Changes to Teacher Accounts in 2022

Preceden previously offered special teacher accounts that could be configured to let students create timelines of their own. Due to low adoption and the complexity these accounts added to the codebase, we made the difficult decision to stop offering them.

When do the changes take effect?

We announced the changes in June 2021 with a prominent banner shown on all teacher accounts and to any students logged into them.

On January 4, 2022, we removed the student sub-accounts.

Who does this impact?

For teachers: If you originally signed up and specified that you were using Preceden for Teaching, then your account was impacted and your dashboard displayed "Teacher Dashboard":

For students: If you signed into your teacher's account with a Student Access Password, you can no longer log in that way or reach the timelines you created there.

What happens to student accounts and timelines?

Timelines created by students while logged into their teacher's account are no longer accessible in Preceden as of January 4, 2022.

Can I still get access to the student timelines?

For teachers: For a period of time we will still provide CSV exports of student timelines if the teacher requests them. Email us at [email protected] if you're interested.

For students: Ask your teacher to email us to request a CSV export of your timeline.

These CSV exports can be imported back into Preceden using our CSV import tool.

What about teacher timelines?

The timelines the teacher created (the ones listed under "Your Timelines" on your dashboard) were not impacted.

Can my students continue using Preceden?

If students want to continue using Preceden, they should sign up for their own account.

I have more questions. Who can I ask?
