Getting to the Lexia Core5 Reading app on a District iPad
This article illustrates how to get into the Lexia Core5 Reading app on a District iPad, using the District's Clever portal.
Summary
The executive summary is that in order to get into the Lexia Core5 Reading app on an iOS device, we need to have the app installed on the device, but then not get into it by launching it directly. (Yes, this sounds counter-intuitive.) If the device has the app installed and available, then we can launch the app "with options" with the help of a link from the District's Clever portal, which is made available to District iPads via a custom Web Clip you can find in the device's on-demand resources app. Options for getting the Web Clip and more information about the Clever portal on iPad, is treated in the separate article Getting to the Clever Portal on a District iPad.
System Requirements
Details on Lexia system requirements are available at the article Lexia Student Programs, but the crux is that your iPad must run iOS 15 or later. See Supported Devices - Apple for more on which device models can run which versions of iOS.
Get the Web Clip and Lexia Core5 Reading App
You'll find the above mentioned Web Clip, and the i-Ready Connect app, in your device's on-demand resources app, which is the Jamf School Student app.
In Jamf School Student, you will find the Web Clip in the iOS Apps - District container, or in the master listing in My Resources.
The Lexia Core5 Reading app should be listed in the iOS Apps - Self Service container, or in the master listing in My Resources.
Launch Lexia Core5 via the KPBSD Clever Web Clip
If you haven't already, install the Web Clip profile (titled Web Clips - KPBSD Clever) and the Lexia app (titled Lexia Core5 Reading) onto your iPad.
With these two things installed, launch the KPBSD Clever Web Clip. If you have both the Web Clip and the native Clever app, be sure to launch the right one:
The Web Clip should launch you, in the default browser (e.g. Safari) right in to the District's Clever portal (link has more information about logging in and troubleshooting).
Successfully authenticated, you should see the Clever portal launch in the browser tab. Find Lexia Core5 in the subsequent listing (you may have to scroll down).
Launch Lexia Core5, and you should see the transfer as the Lexia Core5 Reading app launches in front of the browser.
