Starting with a course (participants)

When you first become active on the platform, you are not yet enrolled in a course. You need to enroll yourself in the correct course and select the right teacher from your school as your coach.

After activating a subscription, you can enroll in one or more courses by following these steps:

1. Go to ‘My Courses’ if you are not already there. (This is the first page you see after logging in.)
2. Search for the correct title under ‘All Courses’. You can scroll down or use the search function.
3. Click on the correct course. A brief introduction text for the course will appear on your screen.
4. At the very bottom, you will see a button labeled ‘Get Started’. Click on it.
5. Choose your coach. The name of the teacher who will coach you for your elective should be listed. Contact your teacher if you don’t see the correct coach!
6. Click on ‘Next’.
7. Choose the correct learning set. In most cases, this will be the learning set for the latest academic year, but it may be that you have agreed with your coach to select a different learning set.
8. Click on ‘Next’ again.
9. Choose your level. For most courses, this is no longer relevant, so it will usually show ‘General’, which you can click on. If you can choose between levels 1 through 4, select the level that corresponds to your program.
10. Click on ‘Get Started’. The course will open immediately, and you can begin with your assignments!
