Say 👋 hello to BusyBee, your AI-powered learning & teaching companion for Buzz. Learn more!
Dawn brings learning, coaching, content creation, and site management together in one place. What you see when you sign in depends on how you use Dawn and the permissions you have.
If you're a learner
You see your enrollments when you sign into Dawn. From here you can pick up where you left off or start something new.
To get going, open one of your enrolled catalog entries.
- Use the Table of Contents to move through lessons and activities
- Check your progress to see how far you've come and what's next
- Ask a question in your Coach feed (if available) or connect with other learners in a catalog entry Feed
If your goal is learning, you're already in the right place. Just choose an enrollment and begin!

If you’re a coach
You have Coaching tools to help you support learners in their journey.
Open your Coaching dashboard to:
- Look for learner activity or submissions that need attention
- Review and respond to recent questions or conversations in Feeds
- Check learner progress to see who might need support or follow-up
You dont need to explore every report or setting right away. Start with learners who need you now.

If you're an administrator
Administrators usually begin with people and Site management.
As a new administrator in Dawn, you may want to start by:
- Configuring site-level settings to manage branding, access, and integrations
- Inviting users, setting up enrollments, or reviewing existing learners or enrollments
- Giving coaching or administrator permissions to existing users
You dont need to configure everything at once. Start with the critical tasks.

If you're an Organization Administrator
As an Organization Administrator, you will manage enrollments and seat purchases for your organization from using Administration tools tailored to your role.
Get started by:
- Familiarizing yourself with the Administration tools
- Review and create new Enrollments
- Create and manage Groups in the organization

If you're an author
You will use Dawn's Editor tools to build new catalog entries or edit existing ones.
To get oriented:
- Open the Editor from the vertical navigation bar or the card on your dashboard
- Select an existing entry to edit, or start a new one with Add to catalog
- Focus on content, videos, interactions, and structure
You can come back later to fine-tune details like mastery settings, catalog building, or publishing options.
