Dawn Authoring FAQ

Gather learners

Learners are the reason for your site, so Dawn offers multiple ways for them to join:

  • Invite learners to join your site
  • Enable self sign-up: Administration > Site management > Website > Allow users to create their own accounts
  • Create invitation links to send: Administration > Invitation links

To get the most out of Dawns mobile learning experience, learners should set up Dawn as a Progressive Web App (PWA). PWAs offer the benefits of a native app without the need for an app store.

Set up purchase options for your users

You can be paid for by your users 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 Organizations.

You can also create Coupons for your learners: Administration > Site management > Coupons

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.
