Students of the academic teacher training program can register for free with the digital learning platforms Diddit (published by VAN IN), Scoodle (published by Plantyn), Polpo (published by die Keure), and Pelckmans Portaal (published by Pelckmans) through the University Library. By doing so, they gain unlimited access to the interactive textbooks (bordboeken) provided by these publishers.
You first need to create a Diddit-account. Afterward, you confirm your registration with the University Library UHasselt by sending an email (from your UHasselt email account) to philip.speelmans@uhasselt.be. We will then provide you with your personal activation code as soon as possible. This code is valid until the end of September of the current academic year.
With your Diddit account, you also have access to mijnlesmateriaal.be, another learning platform by VAN IN, where you can find numerous textbooks as well.
Tip: You don't have to (immediately) connect yourself to a school on Diddit. When you are presented with the first choice (I am a student | I am a teacher), click the "Skip" button. You will then jump to your account. To add learning materials there, you first need to activate your license using the activation code we provide.
You first need to create a Scoodle-account. Afterward, you confirm your registration with the University Library UHasselt by sending an email (from your UHasselt email account) to philip.speelmans@uhasselt.be. We will then provide you with your personal activation code as soon as possible. This code is valid until 15 September of the current academic year.
If you want access to Polpo, send an email (from your UHasselt email account) to philip.speelmans@uhasselt.be. You will receive a Polpo invitation with a link to set your password. You can then add the methods you need via your profile. A separate activation code is no longer required.
While publishers VAN IN and Plantyn use a single personal activation code that grants access to all interactive textbooks, Pelckmans operates differently. They provide their interactive textbooks through a common activation code, which means all students use the same code, but each code varies depending on the specific title.
To obtain the overview of all Pelckmans activation codes, you send a message to philip.speelmans@uhasselt.be at the University Library using your UHasselt email account.
After creating an account on Pelckmans Portaal with your UHasselt email address, you can activate the respective code for each book. A code can be activated by each student up to 4 times per academic year, granting access to the online teacher materials for one month at a time.
