Basic Tour
Imagine walking into a well-organized classroom where everything you need is at your fingertips - your lesson plans, practice materials, tests, and student assignments, all neatly arranged. That's exactly what your Course Management dashboard is, just in digital form!
Think of your Course Management dashboard like a digital classroom where you organize all your teaching materials. It's the one place where you can create, manage, and share your courses with students.
Understanding Course States
Courses in the system can have different states:
Drafts: These are courses you’re still working on. Think of them as works in progress.
Ready to Deploy: Courses that are complete and ready to launch but not yet live.
Deployed: Active courses currently accessible to students.
Archived: Completed courses you’ve stored for future reference.
Complete Course Management with VEGA
VEGA, your AI assistant, will guide you through four simple steps:
The 4-Step Process
Step 1: Building Your Course Structure
Think of this like designing the blueprint of your course. Just as you would plan out your semester, but now VEGA helps make it much simpler!
Setting Your Course Name & Basic Parameters
Name your course something clear and specific, like "SAT Math Prep 2025" or "AP Calculus AB Summer Boot Camp"
Choose key details like:
Duration (3 months, 6 months, etc.)
Subject area (Math, Reading & Writing, etc.)
Target exam (SAT, ACT, AP, etc.)
Difficulty level (Beginner, Advanced, etc.)
Defining Sections and Modules
Just like chapters in a textbook, but more flexible:
Main Sections - Example for SAT Math:
Algebra
Problem Solving & Data Analysis
Advanced Math
Geometry & Trigonometry
Sub-Modules - Example under Algebra:
Linear Equations
Systems of Equations
Quadratic Equations
Inequalities
Establishing Section Weightage
This helps you prioritize what's most important:
Decide how much time and focus each section needs
Example distribution for SAT Math:
Algebra: 35%
Problem Solving: 30%
Advanced Math: 20%
Geometry: 15%
