# Teach on the VIABLE Learning Platform

The simplest way to teach with VIABLE. [teach.viablelearning.org](https://teach.viablelearning.org) asks for a Google account and nothing else: no agents, keys or models to choose. Use it when you want a class running today.

The rest of this section describes the same courses on the VIABLE Developer Platform, which has more settings. The words on the pages are the same, and a course made in one shows in the other under the same Google account.

## Set up a class

::: steps
1. **Sign in.** Open [teach.viablelearning.org](https://teach.viablelearning.org) and continue with Google.
2. **Say what you're teaching.** The subject, who it's for, and what they find hard. Ask makes the course and its activities and shows you each step. If you'd rather fill in forms, **Courses** has them, and the two work on the same course.
3. **Try it as a learner.** **Try it** opens the course as your learners will see it. What you do there stays out of Progress.
4. **Add your class, if you want names.** Paste a list on **People**. Ask gives you a box for it: what you paste there goes straight to the list, and names never reach a model.
5. **Open it.** Nothing reaches learners until you press **Open it**. Ask can propose it, and only your click does it.
6. **Share it.** **Share** has the link, a QR code and the course's code. Learners open the link, or type the code at [viablelearning.org](https://www.viablelearning.org). They don't need an account.

## What it costs

| What | Who pays | What happens at the end |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Setting up with Ask | The platform, within a daily limit | Ask says so and comes back the next day. Everything else keeps working |
| Your learners' conversations with the AI | Your AI credit | Learners can still open their activities, write and answer questions. The AI beside them stops replying, and tells them to let you know |

The credit left is on every page. A class of 30 sending 10 messages each uses roughly $0.10 to $0.20. **AI credit** has a button for asking VIABLE Lab for more.

## How your learners sign in

Choose on a course's **People** page.

| Way | What it means | Good for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Personal codes on cards** | You print a card for each learner, and only codes on your list open the course | Children: nothing to spell, and their work follows the code on any computer |
| **They type their name or student ID** | The first time, on one device. Anywhere else they use the personal code they are shown then | A class that knows its own names |
| **Nobody signs in** | Each browser is one learner | One sitting. On another computer, they are someone new |

## The two tutors

Each activity with AI uses one of two, and its page says which.

- **Tutor.** While a question is open, each reply is checked against the answer key before the learner sees it. Replies take about ten seconds.
- **Quick tutor.** No check, so replies come in a few seconds, and one may give an answer away. Use it where there is no answer to give away.

## When you'd want the Developer Platform

For agents of your own, knowledge bases, other models, a project with colleagues, and studies with consent and conditions. Sign in at [developers.viablelab.org](https://developers.viablelab.org) with the same Google account, and your courses are there, in your personal project.
