Help Using this Site

Log In

Although logging in to the new MAGPI website is not required to view the content on the website, you cannot register for any program or event unless you have created a login for the MAGPI website. To log in simply, click on the "Log in" link at the top right of the page.

Create New Account

To create a new account on the new MAGPI website simply click on the Log in button at the top right of the page. Then select the "Create New Account" tab. You will be prompted for some basic account information. Required information is marked with a red asterisk. Upon creating a new account you have the option to also join a "site" which should be displayed in the "Sites" field. Note, you do not have to join a site at this time. Once you complete the fields and click "create new account" you will be logged in. When a new account is created, it may take up to 24 business hours for it to be approved before you can register for a program.

Reset Your Password

If you forget your password, simply click on Login at the top right of the website and then select the far right tab Request New Password.This will email you a temporary password which will let you go into the system and reset your password.

Edit Your User Profile

To update or change any of your account information, simply click on your username in the top right of the MAGPI website once you are logged in and then select the tab Edit to add or change any desired profile information.

Create Sites (for Videoconference/Technology Coordinators)

The new MAGPI registration system has implemented "sites" which will save you time when registering for programs. In this context sites are different from the new MAGPI website and refer to the location from which you will be participating in a videoconference. To successfully create your site you must work with your videoconference coordinator or technology contact to create a site for your location. Have your videoconference/technology coordinator go to http://www.magpi.net click on Login and then either login using their existing MUSE username/password (if they have one) or click on Create New Account. When an account is created, it may take up to 24 business hours for it to be approved before you can register.

Your videoconference/technology coordinator must then go to their account information (click on their username which is displayed on the upper right hand corner of the website when he or she is logged in) and then click on the “Sites” tab. Your technology coordinator must create a site for every building that wants to participate in a MAGPI program. This will keep any technical information on file with MAGPI and teachers don’t need to worry about knowing IP addresses!!

Join A Site (for Educators)

Before you can register for a program, you need to "Join a site" to ensure we have the right technical information linked to your account. To Join a site, simply go to your account by clicking on your username in the top right of the page once you are logged in and then click the "Sites" tab. Click on "other sites" and scroll to find your site and then click "join." Now you are linked to a site and do not have to worry about entering site information again.

Search for Programs

There are several ways to search for MAGPI programs. You can view the Featured Programs for a particular member community in the right navigation column. You can also select Programs & Events in the top functional menu and from there, select whether you want to view the sortable program list, view programs in calendar mode, download the MAGPI program catalog in .pdf format, or jump over to the Muse regional site. While you can browse programs without being logged in, you will not be able to see dates and times or register until you have logged in.

Register for Programs

The new community based program section is intended to allow quick and easy access to all the programs offered by MAGPI. Although anyone may browse the information across the MAGPI website, you must login and be a memeber of a site, explained below, in order to register to attend a MAGPI program or event. If you have not already created a login on the new MAGPI site, you must create a login first.

When registering for a program, you should provide your site information via a dropdown menu located on the signup page. A site is the location from which a user connects to an event, and should contain the technical information such as contact's name, email, phone number(s) and the site's IP address. Multiple users can become a member of a site, but there should only be one main technical contact for the site that will not change. This technical contact does not have to be the user, but any user that creates the site will be considered the "manager" of the site unless changed at a later time. To join an already existing site or create a new site, visit the "sites" tab on the user profile page.

If a you do not have a site, or are not a MAGPI member, you do not have to choose a site, but still you must be aware of the program's requirements.

Navigate by Member Community

Help! I'm used to the old MAGPI website. How do I find what I want in this new website?

The newly redesigned MAGPI website has been created to help make navigation easier and quicker so you can find what you're looking for sooner. There are several ways to navigate the site so choose which ways suits you best and start exploring!

The new site has been redesigned to allow you to navigate by Member Community so you can find relevant information for your particular Member Community quickly and efficiently. Click on the Member Community in the left navigation column. Once you enter a Member Community, you will see a brief description of that Community with examples of how it uses advanced networking on the About tab. From there you can browse the other tabs including Programs, Applications, Resources, Initiatives, and Funding that are sorted specifically for that Member Community. You can also see Featured Programs in the right navigation column that are relevant to that particular Community. You can also browse by discipline once you have entered certain Member Communities by clicking the discipline in the top color block.

Navigate by Function

You can also use the top horizontal navigation menu to navigate the site by function area. Once you select one of these function areas, you can learn more by selecting a sub-navigation item in the color block. For example, under the About menu, you can learn more about MAGPI including a list of our Services, our Members, our Partners, Staff and a word from our Director under the Director's Corner. Similarly, you can select a subnavigation menu item under the other function areas Programs & Events, Network, Resources, and Contact.

Help For Site Administrators Only
If you are the administrator of a site you will sometimes need to manage your user settings or edit some of the site information. You can do this by doing the following:

From the administration bar, select “Content” List -> Filter type
Click on dropdown
Choose site
Click filter—This is your list of sites

If you click on one of your sites you will see the site number for that site in the url bar. Go to “http://www.magpi.net/Site/<site number>/users” and insert your site number. This should provide a user list for the current site. From this list, administrators of the site can view (in list form), manage (remove users from current site), and administer (promote or demote a “manager”) the members of the current site.

View Website Map
