Introduction to Student Access

STUDENT ACCESS provides students with a one-stop-shop portal in managing their upcoming and past live captioning sessions. 

• Review their upcoming, ongoing, and past live sessions
• Add reference materials to upcoming live sessions
• Access and download the transcript

STUDENT ACCESS can be accessed through https://student-access.verbit.co.

NOTE : Students can reach out to their Verbit admin to set up their username and password. Alternatively, students can reach out to Verbit Support to request their logins as well.

Setup for Students

Activate Verbit User

NOTE : This step is only required if the student does not have Verbit logins.

Once your Verbit account is created by your Verbit admin, you will receive two emails to complete the setup.

• The first email is the user activation invite that will direct you to set up your STUDENT ACCESS password
• The second email is the welcome email that includes a link to STUDENT ACCESS

Launch Student Access

The student can launch STUDENT ACCESS via this link : https://student-access.verbit.co

STUDENT ACCESS will present sessions wherein the student is listed as an ‘attendee’.

NOTE : For ease of use and accessibility, we highly recommend the student creates a bookmark  to STUDENT ACCESS; either after activating their Verbit logins or by adding this website URL in their browser’s favorites: https://student-access.verbit.co

Features and Functions

The Home Page

• A list of upcoming and past sessions and basic information about each session, such as the class name and the date/day/time
• Direct links to the sessions meeting link and Verbitxt page.
• Search and filter capabilities

The date and time displayed on the HOMEPAGE are based on the student’s preferred time zone.

NOTE : The student’s timezone defaults to the school’s Verbit account timezone, but it can also be changed during account activation/password setup.

Open Transcript

The OPEN TRANSCRIPT button launches the Verbitext page where the transcript will be printed during the session.

Click the ELLIPSIS button to reveal two additional buttons: 

• EDIT SESSION will allow the student to verify and/or update the meeting link of the session.
  It will also let you add materials i.e., a PDF of a PowerPoint, a copy of the class’s agenda, or a glossary of terms, before the session starts.
• JOIN CONFERENCE CALL will launch the meeting linked to the session. 

Add Materials

The ADD MATERIALS button is displayed across each session that does not have any attachments yet. 

Although adding reference materials, such as course syllabus, lecture notes, etc., is optional, it is strongly recommended to add such files to improve the accuracy of the transcript overall. 

 

To add reference materials: 

1. Click ADD MATERIALS
2. In the Schedule Captions dialog box, navigate to the Caption Quality tab
3. Click UPLOAD FILES
4. Click SAVE

NOTE : You can upload reference materials in one of these formats: pdf, doc, and/or txt

Add Session Link

The ADD SESSION LINK button appears across each online-type session that does not have a meeting link yet.

To add the meeting link for an upcoming session: 

1. Click ADD SESSION LINK
2. Set the meeting link and password (if any)
3. Click UPLOAD FILES to add contextual materials if you haven’t done so already
4. Click UPDATE BOOKING

Search and Filter

The SEARCH is a quick way to find a session you may want to check or update.
Mix it up with FILTER to improve your navigation experience. 

Download Transcript

Students can export the transcript of a finished session by going to the Captions page. 

Click OPEN TRANSCRIPT, which will open the Verbitxt page of the session, and then click DOWNLOAD. 

 

To export the transcript of a past session:

1. From the main menu on the left, choose CAPTIONS 
2. Search for the session name
3. Click OPEN TRANSCRIPT across the session.
   This will launch the session’s Verbitxt page on a new window.
4. In Verbitxt, click the GEAR icon to reveal additional functionalities
5. Click DOWNLOAD
