A shared learning space
Learning and teaching meet in one clear place.
Learners can review published course information before creating an account, then use their workspace to open lessons and keep track of progress.
Instructors build and manage their own course material. Smith Academy provides the platform, controls access, and manages the review steps around instructor applications and course publication.
Clear responsibilities
Everyone has a defined role.
Instructors
Develop course lessons and resources, then submit courses for publication through their teaching workspace.
Learners
Choose published courses, use the available lessons and resources, and track their own progress.
Teaching on Smith Academy
Instructor access begins with an application.
Applying does not grant immediate instructor access. The application is reviewed first, and course publication has its own review step.
01
Apply
Choose the instructor role while creating an account and provide the requested application details.
02
Application review
An administrator reviews the instructor application before teaching access is granted.
03
Create and submit
Approved instructors can create courses and submit them for publication review.
