- Students should not be imported into Auralia and Musition

Classes
Student groups or class names are also synced and students are dynamically allocated to whichever class they launched from.
This function may be toggled on or off for your service. If it is not working as expected, please get in touch with us to review your service settings.
Launching
When your service is linked to your LMS, you must launch Auralia and Musition from the LMS, the exception being Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams, which support a 'direct login' for Practise.
There are two types of launches; ‘Task’ and ‘Practise’.
Task Launch
A task launch connects a task in your LMS with a specific “Test” or "Course" in Auralia or Musition. The results of the task are then reported back to the LMS gradebook!
Refer to these documents for details on how to create LMS tasks.
Practise Launch
A practise launch opens Auralia or Musition for general use. Students can practice any topic, but cannot take tests or courses, these must be done via a Task launch.
No results are reported back.
