ClassLink
ClassLink is a single sign-on and rostering platform that gives students and teachers one-click access to educational apps and resources.
What is ClassLink?
ClassLink is the single sign-on and app launchpad used by thousands of school districts across the United States to give students and teachers one-click access to their digital learning tools. Rather than remembering separate passwords for the LMS, reading platform, math practice site, and assessment tool, students log in once through ClassLink and access everything from a personalised dashboard. That SSO function makes ClassLink a critical piece of infrastructure in any district that has invested in a portfolio of EdTech applications — the platform is the front door to everything else.
The architecture connects to district Active Directory or Google Workspace for identity, then federates authentication to third-party apps through SAML and OAuth. Rostering integrations with Clever, OneRoster, and district SIS systems keep class lists, teacher assignments, and student groups in sync automatically. ClassLink Analytics gives district administrators visibility into application usage — which tools students actually open, how frequently, and for how long — data that informs purchasing decisions during annual contract renewals.
When ClassLink has an outage, the blast radius is wide because it is the authentication gateway for everything downstream. Students who arrive at school and open their Chromebooks find they cannot access their reading apps, their LMS assignments, or their math practice tools — every linked application returns a failed SSO error rather than logging them in. Teachers similarly cannot access grade books, lesson resources, or assessment platforms. The ClassLink launchpad loads but shows errors when trying to launch any app. For younger students who rely on tile-based navigation rather than remembering individual URLs, the ClassLink outage effectively removes their entire digital learning environment.
Outage.gg tracks ClassLink platform status using real-time community reports from students, teachers, and district IT administrators. If single sign-on is failing, the launchpad is not loading, or app access is broken, the live status page shows current impact.
