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 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.
