Posted on 09/03/2020

RAIDER ACADEMY STUDENTS & PARENTS:

We have compiled this list of very detailed instructions that must be followed exactly as described in order to successfully access your Raider Academy courses and proceed with your assignments.

STEP ONE:  Refer to the instructions that were handed out with your iPad.
If you no longer have your copy, CLICK HERE. These instructions answer multiple questions we are still receiving, including the step that asks for an apple ID which needs to be skipped, and basic steps on how to set up your iPad. These instructions must be completed before you can proceed to Step Two.

STEP TWO: GO TO SETTINGS, scroll down to “Safari” and make the following changes:

  • Find “Block Pop-Ups” and turn it OFF (gray)
  • Select "Clear Browser History and Data"
  • Go to “Prevent Cross-Site Tracking” and turn it OFF (gray)
  • Go to “Block all Cookies” and turn it OFF (gray)

STEP THREE: GET STARTED

  • Open Safari. 
  • Enter: https://caola.caiu.org/login
  •  The login screen you see next will tell you to "only use Chrome or Firefox" but if you completed the setting instructions as listed in Step Two, Safari will work for you. Safari is the preferred browser for iPads.
  • Your login credentials (username and password) are the same as last year. If you don't recall your credentials they can be found in the email which came from [email protected]Please check your spam/junk folders.
  • If you have tried the steps above and still need your credentials, please contact [email protected] with the following information:
    • Subject Line: Raider Academy Credentials
    • Parent’s full name
    • Student’s full name and grade 

STEP FOUR: YOUR GENIUS DASHBOARD
When you reach your dashboard, you will see your courses. Clicking on a course will take you to what is called a “buzz screen.” If you get a blank “buzz screen” you didn’t correctly set your Safari settings. Repeat Step Two. Here is an example of the Dashboard screen and the Buzz screen:
