Teaching on WeVersity offers a unique opportunity to share your expertise, reach learners worldwide, and build a meaningful educator profile. The sign-up process also serves as your application to become a teacher. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get started:
Step 1: Sign Up and Apply as an Instructor
To get started, you’ll need to sign up and submit your teacher application:
- Click the “Become an Instructor” button on the Weversity homepage.
- Fill out the sign-up form with essential details like your first name, last name, email, password, and any other required information.
- After submitting the form, you’ll be directed to sign in to your account.
- Once signed in, you’ll be taken to your dashboard. At this stage, your application is still under review, and you won’t be able to upload or manage courses just yet.
Step 2: Wait for Application Approval
After completing your sign-up, our team will review your application. During this review period, you won’t have the ability to upload courses or edit content. However, you can explore your dashboard and set up your profile while waiting.
Once your application is approved, you will gain access to teacher-specific permissions, and the Upload a Course button will appear in your dashboard, allowing you to start creating and managing courses.
Step 3: Set Up Your Teacher Profile
Once your application is approved, it’s time to complete your teacher profile:
- Profile Photo: Upload a clear, professional photo of yourself.
- Teaching Bio: Write a few paragraphs introducing yourself, highlighting your expertise, and describing the types of courses you plan to offer.
- Skills and Subjects: List the subjects or skills you teach so learners can easily find you.
- Sample Content (optional): Upload a short lesson, guide, or resource to give learners a preview of your teaching style.
Your profile is what students will see when considering enrolling in your courses, so make sure it’s engaging and reflective of your expertise.
Step 4: Explore Your Teacher Dashboard
Once your profile is complete, you’ll have full access to your teacher dashboard, which includes several key features:
- Upload a Course: After your application is approved, you’ll be able to upload new courses or edit existing ones.
- Manage Content: Edit and update lessons, resources, and activities.
- Student Discussions: Engage with students, answer questions, and provide additional guidance.
- Analytics: Track enrollments, course completion rates, and student feedback.
Take some time to explore these tools before publishing your first course.
Step 5: Start Teaching
Once your teacher profile is set up, you’re ready to begin sharing your knowledge with WeVersity’s learners. Start with a short lesson or workshop, and use learner feedback to grow and expand your course offerings.
Weversity is not only about formal teaching but also about building a community of learners and educators. Your contributions, whether big or small, help others grow while building your own reputation as an educator.
