# Workflows for Instructors

These guides answer the question *"how do I do X?"* for instructors who already have working familiarity with Nuvolos. If you are new to the platform, start with the [Instructor tutorials](/tutorials/tutorials-for-instructors.md) first - they take you from creating your first course to seeing assignments come back from students.

The guides are organised by where you are in your course lifecycle:

* **Course setup** - create the course, structure it, add teaching material, document it.
* **Manage students, TAs, and groups** - invite students and co-instructors, distribute material, set up group projects, enable collaborative editing.
* **Configure course tools and resources** - pre-start and schedule applications, configure them for students, manage performance for large concurrent classes.
* **GPU courses** - enable GPU access, schedule Lab Sessions, set up On-Demand GPU access with Credit quota schedules.
* **Assignments, grading, and feedback -** create assignments, set hand-in limits, grade, provide feedback, export grades, automate with programmatic grading.
* **End-of-course tasks** - archive a course, prepare for the next term, reuse teaching material.

Each page assumes you can navigate Nuvolos's Dashboard, sidebar, and breadcrumbs. If anything in the interface is unfamiliar, see [Getting Started › Find your way around](/getting-started/find-your-way-around.md).

### Where to go next

* For step-by-step walk-throughs of the most common instructor workflows (first course, data-heavy lab session, reusing a course), see [Instructor tutorials](/tutorials/tutorials-for-instructors.md).
* For procedures every role shares (invitations, Applications, snapshots, distribution), see [How-to › Common Workflows](/how-to-guides/common-workflows.md).
* For the technical reference on Applications, storage, data storage, and configuration, see [Reference](/reference/applications.md).
* For the conceptual model behind Instances, snapshots, distribution, and roles, see [Concepts](/concepts/nuvolos-basic-concepts.md).
