COSTA MESA, California, May 2, 2023 – BenQ and ClassLink have partnered to give educators a convenient way to use single sign-on (SSO) to access their teaching tools for more effective interactive classes.

BenQ Corp., a global leader in display solutions for education, announced today that ClassLink—one of the world’s most widely used education resource management platforms—has been fully integrated with the BenQ Account Management System (AMS).

ClassLink has over 19 million active users. Their service is used by over 2,400 school systems worldwide and is the official SSO solution of several US states and districts. ClassLink provides teachers and their students an easy and secure way to access cloud-based educational apps, lesson files saved on their school network, as well as any cloud accounts that are bound to the service.

Integrating ClassLink with BenQ AMS simplifies the account creation and sign in processes on the BenQ Board. The integration allows IT administrators to efficiently sync their existing ClassLink user directory to AMS, saving them the time and effort required to manage a separate user list. And because their accounts are already enrolled in the system, teachers can also use NFC cards and QR codes to log in and access all their BenQ Board teaching tools, such as the EZWrite whiteboard.

As an added benefit, teachers will also be able to use their ClassLink LaunchPad app to modify their personal settings on BenQ AMS.

“We want to make using the BenQ Board as convenient as possible for teachers. This ClassLink integration effectively removes the redundancy in the login process, giving teachers more time to concentrate on their lessons,” says Claire Huang, Director of BenQ's Cloud Innovation Center and Display Solutions Department.

“ClassLink and BenQ are a natural fit. This partnership further supports our goal to take the complexity out of digital learning, remove distractions from the classroom, and give educators more time to support their students’ learning,” says Patrick Devanney, ClassLink’s Senior VP of Strategy and Partnerships.
