ABC Digital

Matt 3 years ago updated by Benjamin S. (Answers in Genesis - Technical Support Specialist) 3 years ago 1

The digital resources are priced too high to use as an add on to the printed materials. Will you be offering these as a part of a package deal with the printed materials that will make it more affordable? Maybe a couple dollars per unit per class would be more appropriately priced and more appealing.

Answer

Hello Matt,

Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding digital resources with the printed materials.

To be clear, the digital resources unlocked with access codes from your printed ABC materials will remain free and can be accessed from the ABC Resources page here: https://myanswers.com/edu/resources/.

These resources are also included on our ABC Digital platform, which you were trying out over the past year while it was in free early access. This online-only tool provides more than extra digital resources—it allows access to the lesson materials on any device, plus you can download and print PDF versions of the lesson materials for your use.

For your convenience, Please see this Comparison Chart for ABC Digital.

Again, if you just want to unlock the resources you've been using with your print materials, no subscription to ABC Digital is required.

If you need any further assistance, please let us know and we will be happy to help!

Blessings,

Benjamin Sherrick

Can you make the date box for the "Previous Lesson" a different color (like red or orange)?

This would help to visually make it stand out from all the rest of the lessons, similar to how the "Current Lesson" stands out in green.

Current lesson on wrong date

Amy Keppley 3 years ago updated by kyle 3 years ago 1

I went through the steps to postpone our lessons to allow for Thanksgiving and Christmas lessons, but now our "current lesson" is showing on the wrong date. It shows the current lesson is the week following the current date. Can this be fixed?

Answer

Hi Amy,

I just updated your classes so their current lesson is set to Lesson 21 on Jan 3rd. Please let us know if you need anything else!

Scheduling for Lessons and Rotating Teachers--One Class

I am coordinating one class with rotating teachers.  I want teachers to only receive emails for their specific lessons, not every week.  I want to be able to assign specific teachers to specific lessons.  

We are using this for what we call Children's Church--which occurs in parallel with our normal Worship.  Each week--the teacher rotates.  How can we make this work that way I'd like it to work.  

Answer

Hi John,

Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately, ABC Digital does not currently support assigning teachers to specific lessons. You can either have a single teacher assigned to a class or multiple teachers assigned to it, but for individual lessons, we only support substitute teachers. That's intended as a one-off fill-in role, so it doesn't really fit your use case. Emails will send to each teacher each week by default, but those can be turned off in the email settings.

Instead, I'd suggest adding all your teachers to the class and then set up a separate shared spreadsheet so you can keep track of which teacher is teaching each week. I agree with you that would be a big improvement to the system and I'll pass on your request to our developers so they're aware, but I'm not able to promise anything.

Blessings,

Arthur

Subscribe?

John Whited 3 years ago updated by Arthur L. (Answers in Genesis - Business Analyst) 3 years ago 1

How do I subscribe for ABC Digital that will become available on January 2, 2021?

Thanks, 

John Whited

Answer

Hi John,

The subscription system is not yet implemented for ABC Digital, but you can rest assured that we are working on it as our top priority. It will be out soon, certainly within the next couple of weeks. Any classes you have won't be deleted and will have a week's grace period at the start, so you shouldn't face any interruptions.

Blessings,

Arthur

If I don't subcribe to ABC digital, will I still have access to the digital resources?

Karen Lange 3 years ago updated by Arthur L. (Answers in Genesis - Business Analyst) 3 years ago 1

Also I really like having the resources mailed to me, especially the Teacher's guides, posters, take home pages and Preschool story board. Will I have to purchase both digital subscription and print?

Answer

Hi Karen,

Yes, you will still have access to the content on the ABC Resources page via the printed codes. Those were set up to be used in tandem with the printed materials, whereas ABC Digital is intended to be a complete, fully digital solution. As such, most, but not all of the digital content will be available on the ABC Resources page, but ABC Digital will have everything. You won't have to purchase both the ABC Digital subscription and the Teacher Kits, but that is an option if it fits your use case.

Please let me know if you have any more questions!

Blessings,

Arthur

Lessons not loading

Elizabeth Turner 3 years ago updated by Arthur L. (Answers in Genesis - Business Analyst) 3 years ago 3

When I try to access my lessons for digital resources, the page never loads or just times out.

Answer

Hi Amanda,

I checked on your class and saw it had Wednesday Ladies Bible Study Lesson 39: "A Bride for Isaac" postponed until Feb. 3rd, so I cleared that and updated your current lesson to Lesson 27. Feel free to go ahead and re-postpone the lesson until Feb. 3rd and the rest of the schedule will follow suit.

Please let me know if you need anything else!

Blessings,

Arthur
