How do I add learners to my organisation's list of Members?

How to set up accounts for your learners on RNIB Bookshare

Print disabled learners can have their own accounts on RNIB Bookshare, this video shows you how so that they can be downloading and accessing resources independently. We tell you who can set up learner (member) accounts and how to do it.

Please remember: You will not be able to download resources until you have set up your learner accounts and will not be able to set up your learners until we've checked and confirmed that the Primary Contact account set up for your organisation has been approved. 

Giving your learners their own account gives them access to our free built-in reading tool and encourages independent study as well as allowing parents to log in using their childs details to support home learning. It also enables us to provide accurate figures on the number of learners we're reaching to our Fundraising team to help them source donations to support the continued running of this free service. 

 

Quick steps:

  • Log in
  • Go to "My homepage"
  • Go to "Members" or "Manage your list of learners"
  • Select "Add a member"
  • Complete the details and "Save"
  • Let your learner know their log in details

The password should be at least eight characters long and contain a minimum of one capital letter and one number.

To maintain learner privacy, please ensure to anonymise their details when creating their Member account. For example you could enter their true first name, with a number for their surname.
