Q&A
How long does initial setup take?
Plan for about 15-30 minutes to complete your profile and basic configuration. OrgAdmins should allow an additional 15-20 minutes for organization setup and billing.
Can I change my role later?
Individual teachers cannot change their own role. An OrgAdmin can promote a teacher to OrgAdmin. Contact platform support if you need a role change.
Do I need to set up billing before creating courses?
No. You can create courses and lessons without billing set up. Tokens are only needed for premium features like AI generation and when students complete lessons.
