Set up your teaching workspace

At a glance

Instructors create courses inside a workspace (personal) or organization (school/team). The setup wizard collects the type, optional segment, name, and (for schools) team invites.

Prerequisites

• You chose I'm here to teach or clicked Start teaching from the dashboard or under your profile icon.

Steps

1. On Set up your workspace, choose:

   • Just me — Personal workspace for your own courses.
   • A school or organization — Shared workspace; you can invite others to teach.

2. School path only: On What kind of organization?, pick K-12, higher ed, or business/training—or Not sure — skip for now. Segment affects verification and offering limits later.

3. Enter a Workspace name or Organization name (learners see this on courses), then select Create workspace / Create organization.

4. School path: On Invite your team, send invites or choose Continue to your first course.

5. Personal path: You’re taken to Create a course automatically.

Common gotchas

• Until a school organization is verified, course offerings may be limited; the UI explains the current limit.
• You can create more workspaces later from Organizations under your profile icon (when you manage at least one org).
