Instructor Registration and Login Information
Log in and organize. Lecture and assess.
Helpful resources are just a click away.
STEP 1: Register
To support your teaching efforts, we've designed websites to accompany our biology textbooks.
Here you'll find lots of Instructor-Only features to assist in managing your course and improving
your students' learning. All you need to get started is a valid email address and the access code
below. To register, simply:
1. Go to
2. Click the appropriate book cover. Cover must match the textbook edition being used for your class.
3. Click “Register” under “First-Time User?”
4. Leave “No, I Am a New User” selected.
5. Using a coin, scratch off the silver coating below to reveal your access code.
Do not use a knife or other sharp object, which can damage the code.
6. Enter your access code in lowercase or uppercase, without the dashes.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete registration.
During registration, you will establish a personal login name and password to use for logging
into the website. You will also be sent a registration confirmation email that contains your login
name and password.
Your Access Code:
Note: If there is no silver foil covering the access code, it may already have been redeemed, and therefore may no
longer be valid. In that case, please contact your Benjamin Cummings sales representative.
STEP 2: Log in
1. Go to and click the appropriate book cover.
2. Under “Established User?” enter the login name and password that you created during registration.
If unsure of this information, refer to your registration confirmation email.
3. Click “Log In”.
STEP 3: (Optional) Create a class
To view the results of student website activities in an online class gradebook, you "create a class"
for this website and have your students join it. After students join one of your classes, their names
appear in the class roster and you will be able to track their progress in the class gradebook.
Whether you create classes or not, students can always see their individual results from activities
they complete on the website.
To create a class:
1. Log into the website. For instructions, see "STEP 2: Log in."
2. Click “Class Manager” near the top left. This option is visible to instructors, not students.
3. Click “Create a New Class”.
4. Complete some class information, make note of the automatically generated Class ID (looks like
cm130412), and click “Create Your Class”.
Students will need the instructor-provided Class ID when they join the class.
5. Give the Class ID to your students, so they can join this online class by clicking “Join a Class” from
the website. Instructors can view the Class IDs for their classes from the website at any time by
clicking “Class Manager”. The “Join a Class” option is visible to students, not instructors.
After students have joined the class, instructors can view the class roster and class gradebook by
clicking “Class Manager”.
How do students access the website?
Instructions for students to register, log in, and join a class for the website are provided to students
on an insert at the front of their texts which contains a student access code for the website.
