Welcome to an ever growing community of instructors who use, evaluate, and incorporate OLI materials into their teaching practice.
Getting Started
Request an OLI Instructor Account. An Instructor Account will give you access to our Course Builder application and all of our course manangement tools.
When requesting your account, you will be asked for the following information:
- Name
- Email address
- Country
- Institution
- Courses you would like to use
- And to create a personal Account ID & Password
After we confirm your "instructor" status, we will grant instructor privileges to your account. Once you have instructor privileges, you will have access to our Course Builder application and all of our course manangement tools.
Look at the demo course(s). We will send you the demo Course Key(s) for your requested course(s) along with your instructor account confirmation. These demos allow you to experience the academic course as a student. This includes taking any of the assessments and assignments included in the course package.Â
Build your course. Using the Course Builder, you can create a customized course that fits your needs. Include the units and modules that you need, in the order that you plan to use them. Decide to offer the assessments as graded or ungraded activities (when applicable). You can also combine material from several course packages. See the Instructor Resources page for detailed information regarding the OLI Course Builder.
Costs
Maintenance fees
|
There is no charge to you for creating an OLI instructor account or for building a course for your students. Some courses that are no longer supported by grants, require a per-student access fee to support the ongoing development and improvement of the course. Your students will be charged the fee at the time they register for the course.
If the small maintenance fee we charge prohibits your students’ use of the courses, please let us know and we may be able to reduce or waive the fee - our goal is to support you and your students.
Getting your students started
It is crucial for your students to have pertinent and correct course-specific information before they can begin accessing the course. Be sure to send each student information regarding:
- OLI Course Key
- How to create an OLI account
- Payment requirements for the course
- Important information about accessing the course materials:
Each course has its own unique content and therefore unique technical components, let students know that it is important that they perform the System Test and Configure for each course they use.
