Review and Create Offices

Offices are used in Professional Learning to organize your courses under a specific virtual entity. Courses are built under a specific Office, and users are assigned as Office Admin, Course Creators, and Course Approvers (if applicable) within a given Office.  

Offices can represent different departments within your district (e.g. Professional Learning, Technology Services, etc.) and/or locations (e.g. Rover Elementary, Bailey High School). Offices can allow you to create specific Course and Section Approval Workflows as needed, allow end users to filter the Course Catalog to find courses as needed, and aid in more streamlined reporting.  

The baseline Offices available are:  

• District Office 

• Training Office 

• Quick Start Implementation 

The Training Office is used for testing/troubleshooting as needed. The Quick Start Implementation Office houses initial Quick Start implementation courses and should not be used for future course creation.  

The District Office is the baseline Office available for customization. Offices are configured in four parts: 

1. Office Details – Enter a name for the Office. Click Save. 

   • Location Name, Office Email. and Office Email Signature are not required fields.  

2. Users and Roles – Assign users to serve as Office Admin, Course Creators, and Course Approvers (if applicable). 

   • Reminder that users who are not Office Super Users must be assigned one of the above roles in an Office in order to create and manage courses.  

3. Default Location(s) - Set the default location visibility that will be assigned to any course built from this office.  

4. Certificate – Enter the Name and Title of the “Signer” to be included on the course certificates issued to users upon completion of a course from this office.  

   • Leave this blank if Course Certificates will not be issued. Do not enter a Certificate Signature or Footer Image – these are not part of the baseline certificate configuration.
