Organization Moderators' Guide

View Projects

Moderators can only view projects created by Moderators in the same organization and projects with members from partner schools.

To view projects in your organization:
  1. Click the My Home tab.
  2. All of your organization's projects are listed in the center of the page, along with the number of members and the age range.
  3. Click the name of any project to visit it.

Create & Manage Projects

Organization projects are created and managed in much the same way as school projects.

Any Moderator in an organization can create, edit, and delete projects. When a Moderator creates a project, all of the other Moderators in the organization are automatically added as members.

To create a project:
  1. Click the My Home tab.
  2. Click the Add Project button.
  3. Continue with the relevant instructions under the Create & Manage Projects section.

To edit or delete a project:

  1. Click the My Home tab.
  2. Click the name of the project you want to edit or delete.
  3. Continue with the relevant instructions under the Create & Manage Projects section.

Project Membership

When a Moderator creates a project, all of the other Moderators in the organization are automatically added as members.

Any Moderator can invite teachers to join a project and accept/decline requests to join a project (if it has Open Membership). Moderators cannot assign students to a project; only teachers can assign students from their own school to a project.

Any Moderator can also remove teacher or student members from a project. However, Moderators cannot leave a project themselves or remove other Moderators from the project.

To invite a teacher to join a project:
  1. Go to any page of the project.
  2. Click Members in the menu on the left.
  3. Click Invite a Teacher.
  4. There are two ways to locate a teacher:
    • Click the Change School link at the top of the page to browse by country and region. Click a school name to view a list of teachers.
    • Search for a teacher by name or school name by entering the name in the search field at the top of the page and clicking the magnifying glass icon.
  5. Click the + button next to the teacher(s).
  6. Click the Continue button at the bottom of the page.
  7. Write a brief invitation message.
  8. Click the Send Invitation button. The message will be sent to the invited teacher.
  9. You will receive a message when the teacher accepts or declines your invitation. Teachers who accept become members in the project and can assign students from their own schools to the project.

To accept or decline requests to join a project:
  1. If there are requests to join one of your organization's projects, you will receive a message. Click the Review Requests button in the message. (You can also view requests by going to any page of the project, clicking Members, and looking at the Requests list on the right side of the page.) Remember, if your project does not have Open Membership, there will be no membership requests.
  2. Click the "Accept" or "Decline" link under each request.
  3. The requester will receive a message confirming whether you accepted or declined the request.

To remove a member from a project:
  1. Go to any page of the project.
  2. Click Members in the menu on the left.
  3. Click the X button next to the member you would like to remove. (Remember, you cannot remove other Moderators.)
  4. Click Remove in the pop-up window to confirm permanent removal from the project. Note that any content created by that member will remain in the project unless it is manually deleted.

To send a message to all project members:
  1. Go to any page of the project.
  2. Click Send a Message to Members in the menu on the left.
  3. Continue with the relevant instructions under the Project Membership section.

Project Calendar

The calendar in organization projects works in much the same way as the calendar in school projects. View the Project Calendar section for instructions.
