LitLab integrates with Clever for single sign-on and roster syncing. Depending on your district, you can connect through the Clever Library as an individual teacher, or through Secure Sync as a district-wide integration.

Students sign in with Clever through their Clever portal.

​
Two Types of Clever Integration

Clever offers two distinct types of integration. The option that is active for your district determines what teachers and students experience.
An individual teacher connects to LitLab from their own Clever Library, no district authorization needed other than global Clever Library permissions enabled. This is how most of our Clever districts roster today: it brings in that teacher’s classes, sections, and students, without any district IT setup.Find LitLab in the Clever library here: https://clever.com/library/app/litlabaiLitLab app page in the Clever Library
A deeper, district-level integration that your IT team adds from Clever’s app store. Secure Sync is available for an additional cost. Once enabled, LitLab can read your entire district’s rosters directly. Reach out to the LitLab team at ops@litlab.ai if you’re interested.
Not sure which of these your district has enabled, or whether you need Secure Sync? Reach out to ops@litlab.ai to confirm your current Clever setup.

Direct students to log in

Once you complete Steps 1 and 2, students can sign in two ways:
  • Students click the LitLab icon from their Clever portal. They’ll be automatically authenticated, no username or password needed. Once logged in, students will instantly see their teacher-assigned stories.
  • Or, direct students to the Sign in with Clever button on the LitLab student sign-in page.

This Clever Library flow is separate from District SSO / Secure Sync. Teachers using Clever Library don’t need their district to add LitLab to a district-wide Clever setup.

​
Creating an Assignment

Once your class is rostered, create an assignment so students see something waiting when they log in through Clever. To reorder or remove assignments later, see Managing Assignments.

​
Re-Syncing Your Roster

If a student is added to your class in Clever after your first import, click Sync with Clever again from your dashboard, or open the class menu and pick Re-sync roster. Archive classes instead if you want them out of your active view.

Adding Another Clever Class

After you’ve rostered your first class, you can import additional Clever classes at any time without re-syncing everything.
