Wikispaces educator accounts allow teachers to create up to 100 user accounts at once without the email requirement. Follow the steps below to create user accounts.

Before you begin, you should have a spreadsheet or a document (tab or comma separated) with all of the student names and usernames saved. Alternatively, you can enter the usernames as you go, but this is not recommended for large groups.

1. Click Manage Wiki

2. Under the People section choose the User Creator 3. Choose the wiki you wish to create users for. They will automatically be made members of that wiki. 4. Choose a method to enter your user list. 5. Click Continue 6. In Setup, set options for making the usernames 7. Click Continue. Here you will be asked to verify the usernames created. Any username that already exists will be noted and you will be able to edit that username. 8. Click Continue. You will see a completed list of the usernames and passwords. You will also receive an email with the usernames and passwords. Be sure to save the email.
 * Upload a spreadsheet using a pre-created spreadsheet consisting of at least usernames
 * Copy/paste text from a document with information separated by commas or tabs or type the usernames into the box
 * Choose the column with usernames. Here you may add a prefix or suffix to create unique usernames. This is recommended to ensure students have unique usernames. See Wikispaces suggestions for creating usernames.
