Hi all,
I am trying to create a complete learning unit online using laravel. The unit of work is in Internet of Things. Hardware will be provided to students - Its a microbit plus the DFRobot Environment science expansion kit (https://www.dfrobot.com/product-2194.html) . All the video tutorials and project work is assigned via the laravel lms.They will log into the lms via their microsoft logins.
My next step is to simplify the process of users accessing the mathworks account. I would like to pre assign channels for students with API keys to write sensor values from each of their microbit shields to the cloud.
Has anyone tried to do this or has any suggestions how to?
The advantages of students having their own channels on my account is for me to monitor how they are progressing. These are year 9 students at high school who have never done any IoT or mathworks/thingspeak related content before.

You can use the create channel API to create new channels for your students. The response to the request has the API kiy and channel ID in it.
