Getting Started as an Instructor

Welcome to the Getting Started section dedicated to Instructors who want to create courses within the communities of WeSchool!

In this section, we will guide you through the registration of your account until you create new learning communities within WeSchool. In this way, you will be able to:

• create customizable learning paths using interactive tools (Modules, Board, Lives, and much more) designed to make teaching easier and more engaging 
• assess Learners' knowledge through Exercises and Tests based on the content covered in class

How to sign up for WeSchool

  To sign up for WeSchool as an Instructor, first, you need to receive an email invitation to a Group from an Admin or an Instructor from your school or company.

  If you haven't received the email invitation link yet, reach out to the Admin or Instructor to request one.

  If you can't find the Group invitation in your inbox, check your Spam folder.

  You can click on the invitation link you received or copy and paste it into your browser. In both cases, you will access the registration form. Next, provide the following information:

  • First Name and Last Name

  If you are registering from an invitation link received via email, the Email field will be pre-filled with your email address and cannot be edited during registration. You will be able to change your email once you have completed the registration on WeSchool:

  

  Make sure to choose a password of at least 12 characters with a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols, avoiding common words or sensitive data.

Getting Started as an Instructor on WeSchool

As an Instructor, you will have the permissions to organize educational paths within the Group. Here are the first actions we suggest you take to set up training activities:

• CREATE YOUR LEARNING COMMUNITY 👩‍🏫

  Now that you are registered on WeSchool, it's time to create your learning community!

  You can do this by creating a Group, a collaborative workspace where you can share multimedia resources (images, videos, links, resources from Cloud platforms, and much more) and interact in social learning environments like the Wall or privately through the Chat of WeSchool.

  Only Instructors that have been authorized by the Admin can create new Groups within the Space. If you are unable to create new learning communities, please reach out to the Admin and ask to check the permissions in the Staff section of the Dashboard.

  Each learning community is highly customizable according to your needs and allows you to have an overview of all Group members.

• INVITE LEARNERS AND INSTRUCTORS TO THE COMMUNITY 📩

  It's time to populate your community! You can invite both Learners and Instructors to join a Group through:

  • an email invitation 
  • an invitation link or Group code 

  Unlike Learners, Instructors can only be invited to a Group through an email invitation.

• WELCOME NEW COMMUNITY MEMBERS 🗣️

  It's time to welcome other community members!

  You can chat, exchange opinions with other Group members, publish Posts and Comments, and attach files starting from the Wall, the Group's virtual bulletin board.

  First, write a welcome message via a Post on the Wall summarizing the Group's goals and objectives and pin it to the top so that it's visible to all community members.

  Besides commenting within the Wall, you can add reactions to Posts and Comments from other users using WeSchool's Emojis.

• CREATE YOUR FIRST MODULE 📖

  Within a community, you can design training courses starting from the Modules section. Here, you will have several tools to:

  • create Modules from scratch to tailor content to the learning needs of community members 
  • import Modules from other communities to speed up the migration of previously uploaded content
  • simplify course design with Artificial Intelligence

  You can customize each Module by choosing whether to make it mandatory or optional or by setting prerequisites.

  You can monitor Learners’ progress within individual Modules directly from the community's Record section.

• ASSESS LEARNERS’ KNOWLEDGE 🔍

  Within a community, you can assess Learners’ knowledge starting from the Assessments section. Here, you will have several tools to:

  • test their preparation level based on Exercises designed for self-assessment
  • create tailored exams like Tests to meet specific learning or training objectives

  In both Exercises and Tests, you can choose from a wide range of questions (both open-answer and multiple-choice) to best structure these types of Assessments. 

  You can monitor Learners’ progress related to Exercises or Tests directly from the community's Record section.
