Join an Organization

Nuvolos is an invitation-only platform. As an instructor, you can be invited in two main ways:

1. Invitation to a specific Course Space: This is common if you are a Teaching Assistant (TA) or co-instructor. You can find more information on this process in our guide on joining a course.

2. Invitation to an Organization: This is for instructors who need to create and manage their own courses. This document covers this path.

Organization Roles for Instructors

To create and manage your own courses, you need to be invited to an organization with the appropriate role. Here are the key roles for instructors:

• Member: This role is typically for students and does not allow you to create courses.

• Faculty: This is the standard role for instructors. It allows you to create courses, enroll students, and manage course environments.

• Manager: This role has all the permissions of the Faculty role, and in addition, you can manage organization settings and invite other Faculty members.

For a more detailed description of all roles, please see the role descriptions page.

To start creating your own courses, an existing Manager (e.g., a department head) must invite you to the organization with either the Faculty or Manager role.
