Backpack Setup
Below are the options for creating Backpack accounts for your entire student/staff population:
MackinVIA can communicate with your school’s network to automatically create Backpack accounts. We have worked with schools and districts to integrate student’s data with MackinVIA through several methods, such as LDAP (Active Directory) and FTP uploads. Each data synchronization project is customized to the user’s needs, and we are continually working to develop other methods of integration.
For more information or to set up synchronization between your student and staff network accounts and MackinVIA Backpack accounts, contact [email protected].
