When it comes to integrating Kodable with Clever, there are two key options available: Clever Free Libraries and Clever Secure Sync. Each option is designed for different user needs, and understanding their differences is essential for setting up the best solution for your classroom.
What is Clever Free Libraries?
Clever Free Libraries is a product that can be utilized by free teachers who want to integrate their educational apps, like Kodable, with Clever's Single Sign-On (SSO) system. This option allows teachers to manage their class rosters and logins directly, without requiring district-level administration. It works best when the integration is teacher-managed, meaning that individual teachers have control over the setup, management, and rostering of their students.
Target Audience: This is primarily for free teachers using Clever’s free libraries.
Key Feature: Enables the use of Clever SSO (Single Sign-On) to allow students to easily log in to Kodable without remembering multiple passwords.
Management: Teacher-managed, meaning that individual teachers are responsible for setting up and maintaining the integration.
Ideal Use Case: Perfect for smaller, independent classrooms where the teacher can easily manage the process.
However, when large school districts or districts with many users try to manage Clever Free Libraries, it can become challenging to ensure seamless support for the Kodable integration. District-level management often involves more complexity, which can make troubleshooting more difficult and lead to potential issues with rostering and student logins.

What is Clever Secure Sync?
Clever Secure Sync is a more advanced integration option that can only be utilized by Premium + subscription users of Kodable. This integration is designed to streamline the rostering process and provide a more seamless experience for schools and districts by securely syncing student data between Clever and Kodable.
Target Audience: Available only for Premium + Subscription users.
Key Feature: Provides a more robust, district-managed solution for syncing class rosters and student information between Clever and Kodable.
Management: District-managed, meaning that the school district handles the setup and syncing of student accounts, reducing the administrative burden on individual teachers.
Ideal Use Case: Best for schools or districts looking for a secure and efficient way to manage multiple classrooms or large-scale implementations of Kodable.
With Clever Secure Sync, once the integration is set up, the syncing process happens automatically, ensuring that students and teachers are always up-to-date. The integration works behind the scenes to keep student accounts in sync between Clever and Kodable, eliminating the need for manual roster updates and ensuring a seamless experience for both teachers and students.
