Otava Nova is based on each user having their own personal account. Otava does not create substitute teacher accounts for schools.
If you are going to work as a substitute teacher and do not yet have a Nova account:
- Contact your school’s administrator, who will invite you to become a Nova user and join the school (in Nova: School → Teachers → Invite Teacher).
- You will receive an email invitation containing an activation link that allows you to set a password for signing in to Nova.
If you already have a Nova account and want to join a school where you will be working as a substitute teacher:
- Contact your school’s administrator, who will invite you to join the school (in Nova: School → Teachers → Invite Teacher).
- You will receive an email notification confirming that you have been added to the school as a teacher.
Additional information
- You can sign in to Nova using the same credentials that you previously used for Otava’s Opepalvelu.
- If the school uses MPASSid authentication, no invitation is required. Signing in and joining the school takes place through MPASSid sign-in.
The school administrator can set a validity period for a substitute teacher’s personal account in Nova by editing the teacher’s information in School → Teachers.
