This article outlines what is needed to setup your school's account to use digital products from Perfection Learning that are delivered on Perfection Next. Most of the article focuses on the things that a non-integrated customer would need to do to setup their account as integrated customers only need to add products to their classes after the integration is in place.

School Administrator accounts are created at time orders for digital products are fulfilled, as part of the integration process, or by school administrators.

If your school does NOT have an integration currently setup or included on the order, when your digital products are fulfilled a school administrator account is created by the system when your digital products are fulfilled. The digital product contact on the order will be created as a School Administrator account if your digital product licenses are fulfilled at your school.

If your school has an integration setup with Perfection Next or included on the order, when your digital products are fulfilled a school administrator account is NOT created. The digital contact on the order will receive an email confirmation that the digital products have been added to your account. However, since the account is going to have an integration the account creation for administrators comes when the integration is set up.

School Administrators for non-integrated accounts can create additional school administrator accounts as needed. It is recommended that you restrict school administrator accounts to only those that require this access due to the personally identifiable information for students, teachers, and school administrators that they would have access to.

Customers that do not have an existing integration or an integration on the order for digital products are considered non-integrated customers. For these customers, the digital contact identified on the order will have a school administrator account created for them as part of our digital order fulfillment process.

You will use the username/password provided to log into https://www.perfectionnext.com. In prior years there were additional delivery platforms available for Measuring Up and Wiley customers for the 2026/2027 school year and beyond all digital products purchased through Perfection Learning are delivered on the Perfection Next digital delivery platform.

There are several things that need to be completed before your teachers and students will be able to access their digital products on Perfection Next. These include the following:

For customers that are integrating with Perfection Next, your Digital Access email will NOT contain username and password information for your account. Our customer experience team will be reaching out to you after your order has been fulfilled to assist you in setting up your integration. All user accounts will be created through the integration rostering feed into Perfection Next.

All non-Clever integrations with Perfection Next go through 3rd Party Provider, EdLink. There are over 50 integrations supported through EdLink, visit our Support Center article titled, Supported Integrations, for a complete list of supported integrations. These integrations are classified as supporting Single Sign-On (SSO), Rostering, and Grade/Assignment Synchronization.

The length of time it takes for an integration setup and tested can vary, but usually can be completed within 3 to 5 business days. Some factors that might lengthen the integration duration are quality and amount of data being shared with Perfection Learning. We only want data shared for students and teachers for the materials that have been licensed, NOT all of the users at a district/school.

Questions about setting up your integration should be sent to support@perfectionlearning.com.

The products view allows one to launch into the digital products that are active in the account. Simply select the blue links for the component of the product you want to view.

Your screen of available products may look different than the screenshot above as it is based on the products licensed to your school or that have been shared by the district.

Educators need to know how students are progressing and how they can best
support them. Using data can help accomplish this, and having reliable data
provided in real-time is critical to making important instructional decisions.
​

Analyzing real-time data and monitoring student progress helps inform
instruction. Recognizing student performance, monitoring progress toward
academic goals, and identifying areas for improvement closes gaps and
increases student achievement.

All reports allow for displaying information at a class, group, or individual view. Below is a list of the various reports available in Perfection Next:

As an administrator you have access to reports in Perfection Next. The same reports that are available to a teacher are available to a school administrator. While a teacher can only see data on their classes, a school administrator can see data across the teachers and students in their school. There is an additional dropdown that lets a school administrator select the teacher for whom they want to dive into the data.

Allows school administrators to enable/disable teacher facing ai features like Grading Assistant as well as set proficiency bands that are used in reporting on Perfection Next.

Perfection Next does have AI enabled features for teachers in some products. These features are available in Interactive Editions for Advanced Placement Social Studies and Advanced Placement English courses. In addition, the Connections Reading Fluency Lab also utilizes AI to assist teachers.

These AI enabled features for teachers assist them in grading a student's assignment or evaluate their reading in Fluency Lab. The grading assistant is informational to the teachers to assist them in grading, but the teacher is responsible for doing the actual grading of the assignments.

These features are turned on/off at the school building level.

Perfection Next utilizes four-level proficiency bands for grouping students in various reports. The default values for each level are shown below:

Changing Proficiency Bands

School Administrators can also set the proficiency bands to be used for the school in reports in Perfection Next. There cannot be overlap between ranges in the various levels and cannot exceed 100%.
​

The proficiency bands can be changed at any time and reports will dynamically adjust to use the new values. One can also return to the Perfection Next defaults by selecting the Reset to Default button at the bottom right corner of the screen.

School Administrators have the ability to manage classes for teachers in their school. This includes creating, editing, assigning products, and rosters to these classes. It functions like it does for teachers, but with an additional column in the Manage Classes table of information to filter classes by teacher.

Perfection Next supports two different types of licenses; district-based and school-based licensing. Both are seat-level licensing with the difference being whether they are controlled and managed by the district vs. being managed by the school.

District-based licenses are those licenses that were purchased and associated to the district, instead of a particular school. District administrators ultimately manage the licenses in determining which schools are enabled to use these licenses. By default the system will make the products available to the relevant schools on a per product basis. The district administrator can override these settings and choose which school(s) can or cannot use licenses from the district-based licenses.

School Administrators can see licenses that the district has shared with the school. If a district admin removes the sharing with a school those product(s) will be removed from the school's classes and the users of that school will no longer be able to use those district-based licensed products.

School Administrators have the ability to view all of the licenses for their institution. They will see the product and component (edition) along with the start and expiration dates of the licenses with the quantity purchased and the seats that are still available.

One can change the filter value from Active Licenses to Expired Licenses or Expiring Soon (30 Days). The default view of Active Licenses displays the list of active licenses for the school. Changing the filter to Expired Licenses one will see the list of licenses where the expiration date has passed and the license is no longer active. Expiring Soon (30 Days) will display licenses that are expiring within the next 30 days.

Licenses are consumed when products or students are added to a class. One does NOT manage licenses at the individual level, but at a class level. So assigning a product to a class of 20 seats will consume 20 licenses from the available licenses.

Licenses are per user and if a student leaves the school, that license can be re-used by another student.

Student-based products have strict enforcement of the license counts. So if one purchases 100 seats, up to 100 students can have access to the given product at a given time. The system will not prevent assigning of products in the event that your school does not have enough licenses if there is at least one license available at the time the students or products are added to the class.

For example, if there were 5 licenses available and I assigned the product to a class of 20 students, the system will allow each of the 20 students to have a license. However, the fact that the school is over the purchased amount of licenses will trigger a license violation message indicating that more than the purchased amount of licenses is currently being used.

A school has 30-days to remediate getting their account into license compliance. This can be done by reducing the number of students that have access to product in classes or by purchasing additional licenses. If the license violation is not remediated during the remediation window, then all users of that product will be suspended from using the product until the account is in licensing compliance.

School Administrators can also view the licenses procured by the district that have been shared with the school. The licenses themselves work exactly like those of the school-based licenses, but they are controlled by the district administrator not the school administrator.

School Administrator accounts have the ability to manage other school administrator accounts.

One can add additional administrator accounts with the Add Administrator link. Using the actions menu on each row account information can be updated, users can be impersonated, or the account can be deleted.

Update Account allows the school administrator to update Personal Information on other school administrator accounts as well as change the password of a user's account. One can also change the account status from Active to Inactive which will prevent the user from accessing Perfection Next while in an Inactive status.

Impersonate User allows the school administrator to impersonate another user. It is unlikely they would need to do this for other school administrators. However, the feature is available for teacher and student accounts which a school administrator can do to assist teachers or students in specific questions or issues they maybe running into.

Delete User allows the school administrator to remove the account from the system. The deletion of a school administrator is destructive and cannot be undone, though one could re-add the administrator to the system.

Student accounts have four categories of information; Student Information, Student Demographics, Accessibility Options, and Change Password.

Student Information contains basic user account information with most of the information being required to create an account.

Student Demographics information is optional data that you can associate to the students in your school.

Accessibility Options provides teachers with some control as to which features are available to the student in their eBooks and Interactive Edition products. It is recommended that most of these features remain on, but the can be turned off if needed.

Change Password allows the teacher to change the student's password.

In managing student accounts you can View Account, Reset Password, Manage Classes, Impersonate User, and Delete Account.

View Account allows the school administrator to update information on the student's account including student information, demographics, accessibility options and change their password. One can also change the account status from Active to Inactive which will prevent the user from accessing Perfection Next while in an Inactive status.

Impersonate User allows the school administrator to impersonate the student's account and see exactly what the student would when using Perfection Next.

Delete User allows the school administrator to remove the student from the system. The deletion of a student is destructive and cannot be undone, though one could re-add the administrator to the system.

Under Manage, the Data Import school administrators have the ability to bulk upload faculty (teachers and administrators), classes, and students. Each import has a download template that can be opened up in Microsoft Excel and populated. Each row in a template would be for a user (school administrator, teacher, or student) or a class.
