Get started with the
Unikum learning portal
Unikum is the preschool and school's tool for educational documentation and communication with the home.
The learning portal is common to all school levels and provides you with the possibility to have greater knowledge of your child’s learning and to become more involved.
It works with computers, tablets and smart phones. The platform can be used in a web browser and is also available for download as an app. You download the "Unikum Familyj" app where you can find apps for iPhone and Android phones. Unikum Family is available in both Swedish and English.
The Edlevo App, which supplements ad complements Unikum. You can use this App to report absences from school and manage your child’s schedule in preschool and after-school organised activities. If you have children (under 18) in a gymnasium school, you will also have access to your child’s study plan and grades in the App.
You log in and identify yourself by clicking on Bank-id (e-identification).
If you do not have a Swedish social security number, you can log in to Unikum (both browser and app) by text message, read more in the box "Log in to Unikum via text message".
In the Unikum family app you will see this:
The first page you see when you log in is your home page. In the list at the bottom there is a circle with your initials. If you are the guardian of several children, you can choose whose home page you want to see. On the home page you will see things that the teacher has sent out, such as messages, plans, etc. Keep in mind that the school may have chosen to send messages only to you as a guardian. You then need to switch to your own home page to see the message.
Home - an overview of messages, reminders and learning log.
Remember - you can see when the teacher has entered a timed message e.g. sports, homework etc. It gives you an overview of your child's timed activities.
More - there are more functions in the app such as "The call", "Schedule" and "Knowledge".
Under "More" there are also Contact lists. There you will find contact information for your child's teachers and possibly other guardians. Communication with teachers takes place via email. If you want other guardians to see your contact information, go to "Profile" -> "Edit" and check the box that says "hide my
contact details so that only school staff can see them".
The icons for "Absence" and "Leave/Collect" are not used. Absence and schedule for after-school/preschool is done in the Edlevo app.
You can control which two buttons appear in the list at the bottom of the app to the right and left of the name. Hold on the button you want to change and choices will appear. Click on the button you want to see and click Done. If you want to change the other button, repeat 1-3.
Other buttons are under "More".
