Using Clever with Okapi Digital Literacy Library

Adding Okapi Digital Literacy Library in Clever
Data Sharing Considerations
What Happens After Sharing


Okapi supports rostering through Clever. Districts can share teachers, students, and class roster data from Clever to EPS Connect to simplify user management and classroom setup.

Adding Okapi Digital Literacy Library in Clever 

Okapi Digital Literacy Library is added and managed directly within your Clever dashboard. 

Districts should: 

• Add the EPS Connect application from the Clever App Gallery 
• Configure data sharing settings in Clever 
• Assign the application to the appropriate users 

For step‑by‑step instructions, refer to Clever documentation: 

• Adding and Managing Applications (Clever Help Center) 
• Managing Data Sharing and Permissions (Clever Help Center) 

Data Sharing Considerations 

Data shared with Okapi Digital Literacy Library through Clever should be limited to the students, teachers, and administrators who are intended to use the program. 

Districts that share teachers and students without class data can still use Clever to create and maintain user accounts.

In this configuration:

• Administrator, teacher, and student accounts are automatically created in Okapi.
• Classes are not created automatically.
• Student enrollments are not created automatically.
• Teachers manage classes and student enrollment directly in Connect.

This option is often preferred when districts want flexibility in how students are grouped for instruction.

Sharing Teachers, Students, and Classes

Districts may also choose to share classes and enrollments through Clever.

In this configuration:

• Administrator, teacher, and student accounts are automatically created in Okapi.
• Classes are automatically reflected in Connect.
• Student enrollments are automatically reflected in Connect.
• Teachers can access their rostered classes without creating them manually.

Manual Classes with Clever Rostering

Okapi allows teachers to create manual classes even when classes are being rostered through Clever.

This allows teachers to create additional instructional groups for intervention, small-group instruction, or other classroom needs.

When using Clever rostering:

• Teachers can create manual classes.
• Students can belong to both rostered and manual classes.
• Teachers cannot edit rostered classes.
• Teachers cannot remove students from rostered classes within Connect.

Any changes to rostered classes or enrollments must be made in Clever and synced to Connect.

What Happens After Sharing 

Once records are shared through Clever:

• Administrator, teacher, and student accounts are created in Okapi Digital Literacy Library.
• Shared classes and enrollments are reflected in Connect.
• Students are automatically associated with their rostered classes when class data is shared.
• Teachers can access rostered classes without creating them manually.

School administrators and Teachers are responsible for:

• Creating any additional manual classes needed for instruction.
• Assigning courses to classes.
• Managing placement-based grouping through manual classes when needed.

This approach allows districts to use rostered classes while maintaining flexibility to create additional instructional groups within Connect.
