FAQ
Q: Can I try the service before I purchase it? Q: I am currently using a Webspiration beta account. Can I use the same email address to try out the Webspiration Classroom 30-day trial subscription? A: Webspiration Classroom allows a given email address to be associated with only one account. You can change or remove that email address by clicking My Account on the Starter screen, then changing the email field, then you can sign up for a free Webspiration Classroom 30-day trial subscription or purchase a 1-, 2- or 3-year subscription.
Q: What happens if I have a trial account or an individual account and then get an account through my school? A: You can either move documents to the new account and remove them from the old account or keep both accounts and use one personally and one with your students, sharing documents across your accounts.
Q: I have a new Webspiration Classroom account and want to access the documents I created in a preexisting Webspiration/Webspiration Classroom account. How can I do that? A: If you have a preexisting personal or trial Webspiration/Webspiration Classroom account, you can click the Move Documents from Another Account button located in My Account to move documents to the new account and remove them from the old account, or you can log into your old account and use the Collaboration Panel to invite your new account to collaborate on selected documents. Then you can use the Manage Sharing settings to make your new Webspiration Classroom account the Owner of the shared documents.
Q: I got a message saying that my email address was already in use by Webspiration. A: Webspiration Classroom allows a given email address to be associated with only one account. You can change or remove that email address by clicking My Account on the Starter screen, then changing the email field.
Q: Does Webspiration Classroom support the iPad? A: Webspiration Classroom is a Flash-based application and the iPad doesn't support Flash. We are in the process of designing a great Webspiration iPad app, optimized for the touch-interface of Apple's iPad. Stay tuned.
Q: Is Webspiration Classroom the same as Inspiration? A: Though Inspiration for the desktop and Webspiration Classroom share some similar tools and functionality, they are two different products. However, if you are working in Webspiration Classroom, you can upload to or download from Inspiration.
Q: Do students need email in order to use Webspiration Classroom's collaborative features? A: No, Webspiration Classroom can be configured so that email is not required or allowed. In these cases, students can communicate with other students or teachers in their school via Webspiration Classroom's built-in Message Center.
Q: Will my documents be secure and private? A: Yes. Access to the Webspiration Classroom server is strictly controlled via firewall. Your documents will remain private unless you invite collaborators and/or viewers. Robots and spiders can't get to your documents, so they won't appear in any search index.

Q: How many people can share a document? A: There is no limit to the number of people that can share a document.
