eKadence: Invitation by Email

Overview

This guide is divided into two sections. A guide for learners new to eKadence and a guide for learners who already have an account.

Enrollment Introduction

For many of K20’s professional learning initiatives, you will first receive an email from K20 staff alerting you to expect an enrollment email from eKadence. To actually enroll in a course, you will need to wait for the email invitation from eKadence. Typically, the sender will appear as “no-reply@ekadence.com” and the subject line will include “Invited to join.”

Sometimes those automated emails get caught in spam filters, so if you are expecting an email invitation from eKadence and do not receive one, use the search feature within your email system and search for “eKadence.” If you still cannot locate the email from eKadence, reach out to your K20 contact or email the K20 support team at it-ekadence@groups.ou.edu.
