1. What's the first thing I should do? Teachers: Register with Click-a-Teacher. It's fast, easy, and free. Navigate to the Class Index . There you'll see the list of class categories.
Select the category that best fits your proposed class and click "Add Entry."
Fill in the form to set up your specific teacher/class description.
Upload your images, icons, and anything else you would like.
After you submit the entry, you will have to wait for an approval. This is to help maintain the overall integrity of the site.
If you haven't received an approval within 24 hours, use the contact form to let us know. We'll do an inquiry and provide you an answer.
Once your entry has been approved, you will receive an email with your LMS login ID. The LMS is where you set up your class.
You will have the option to allow students to take the course free of charge or for a fee. You will need to make your own arrangements for receipt of funds. We do not handle this. If you decide to charge a fee, you can distribute Passkeys to the students that have paid. This will help you keep account of your students. You will find that these are all options within your LMS account.
Check the Community forum for more on the many possibilities that you possess as a Click-a-Teacher instructor.

Navigate to the LMS . At the LMS, you will see a list of classes and instructors that have already set up their classes. Many of the classes are automatic and ready to use for free, while some require a teacher to instruct live. If the class is open, you are free to learn all that you can. If it requires a Passkey, you will need to look in the Class Index to contact the teacher to register for the class. If your teacher directed you to the LMS to join their class, you may need to register with the LMS depending on how your instructor has their class set up. If you cannot find the class you are looking for, request one in the Community. You can use the Community to make suggestions, get tips, and find the answers to your questions.
2. Why can't I access the LMS? - Student: If you wish to join a class or view the content that is closed to guests, you must do one of the following: A.) Receive an enrollment key from the instructor of the class -or- B.) register on the LMS to be added to the system.
- Teacher: To access the teacher's portal and set up a class, you must first register on the Home page and then, submit your Class entry. Once your entry has been approved you will receive the login to set up your class on the LMS.
3. Can anyone use Click-a-Teacher? Yes. Click-a-Teacher is for everyone over the age of 13. If you are younger than 13, you must use a parent or guardian to assist you. 4. Can I email the instructor my questions? Yes, you can contact an instructor at anytime using their listed contact information. 5. Do I get a "grade" for a class? Yes, if the educator has created the course to offer grading. Some classes are simply offered as an automatic course. This means that the course is set to be used as-is with no live interaction. This is similar to the wiki feature or library. All coursework, test/quizzes, attendance, and class participation may be recorded and graded by your instructor. Again, this will be entirely up to your instructor. 6. Do I have to pay for an online course? It all depends on what the instructor requires. Some courses have a course fee. This fee is between the teacher and the student. Click-a-Teacher does not collect or arbitrate financial matters relating to fees for services between students and educators. However, if we receive a report that an educator is misrepresenting their services or defrauding students, we will investigate the matter and may choose to disable the instructor's privileges. 7. How do I find out about the instructor? To find out about the instructor, look at their listing in the Class Index. The instructor controls most of the information displayed. 8. How do I stop receiving the emails when I leave a class? Reply to the received email and request that you no longer wish to receive email.
9. How do I submit assignments? The assignments forms provided in the classroom will provide different ways to submit an assignment: 1.) Type in provided text box. 2.) Copy/paste 3.) Upload your assignment file. For further details, see your instructor's class details. 10. How long do I have to complete a course? See instructor's class details. 11. Will I be penalized for not continuing the course? No, Click-a-Teacher is for your benefit. Instructors may require completion of a course in order to offer a grade or completion certification. 12. I just enrolled in a class, now what do I do? Read the information that your instructor has provided. Follow all instructions. Make sure you make note if there is a class meeting time. Ask your instructor if you have any questions regarding a class. To enter your classroom, login and go to the LMS. This is the virtual classroom. The LMS is where teachers have set up their classes. 13. What does it mean by "instructor-led"? This phrase means that an "instructor", a "live" person and not a computer, is putting up all classroom content. It also implies that while instructor content is not computer generated, you don't necessarily need to meet real-time with the instructor. Click-a-Teacher is set up so that all types of communication and information exchanges can take place at your convenience. Classes may be computer generated, self-paced, or a simple chat session. This is up to the instructor. 14. What happens if I don't do well in the class? Nothing. Many of the classes offered at Click-a-Teacher are classes that are used to share and exchange information of interest. The importance of academic performance is individually based, and class instructors have the ability to communicate with you about your coursework and overall performance. Nothing beyond informing you about your classroom coursework is implemented. 15. How can I report problems or abuse? Contact us at

Take a little time to learn the LMS, as it offers many options. We will try to offer as much information as possible on these topics. 20. How much can I charge for my class? Click-a-Teacher has no cost limits. We encourage teachers to offer their services for free or for low cost, but do not require this. We believe the laws of competition will help to keep most class prices low for students. 21. Is there a fee for using Click-a-Teacher? No. Click-a-Teacher is free for all to use. Instructors are required to keep their information up-to-date. This will prevent any dead links or invalid information listed on the site. 22. What topics are forbidden? Any subject matter that we deem harmful will not be permitted. Also, any material that violates the Terms of Service will not be allowed. We will strive to provide an open, safe, and effective resource for all without violating the rights of others. Please, use discretion, as this is an open resource.
23. What if I can't find a class that I want to take? If you cannot find a particular class, go to the Community and request one. Community is where teachers will look to find students interested in unlisted topics. 24. Why haven't I received an approval or a login?
