1. Brand your Dawn site
First, you'll want to make sure your site looks professional. Dawn enables you to easily build a branded experience for your learners (only Root admins have access to this tab).
To brand your site, make sure you're using the Administration tools and complete the fields on the Site management screen.

- How do I add administrators to my site?
- How do I add authors to a course?
- How do I add coaches to a course? (If you want be a coach, you will have to add yourself following these steps.)
4. Set up purchase payout options
Courses can be paid for in two ways:
- Individual payer: By default, Dawn is designed to allow learners to purchase courses from the course catalog. To do so, you connect your site to a Stripe account.
- District/Organizational purchase orders: You can enroll students in bulk and pay for enrollments with a purchase order if you set up an Organization (covered in Set up Organizations).
5. Invite individual learners to join and set up their mobile experience
Admins can invite people to join their site with the Learners screen. Anyone who needs access to your site (Administrators, Authors, Coachers, or Learners) needs to be invited.
How do I invite people to join my site?
In order for your learners to take full advantage of Dawn's mobile learning experience, they need to set Dawn up on their devices as a Progressive Web Application (PWA). PWAs provide all the benefits of a native app without the hassle of an app store.
6. Set up Organizations
Organizations are entities, like school districts or businesses, that want to purchase course enrollments in bulk for their members, so the members don't have to pay for them individually.
Organization Administrators can use purchase orders to create enrollments for their members and track the progress of those enrollments. Site administrators create the purchase orders for organization use when contracts are signed outside of the Dawn system.
