The Teachings.

Classes that live inside the Nation's own network.
Taught by its people, in its language, on its schedule.

How a Teaching runs
01
A class is part of the network.

A Teaching is a class or circle the Nation runs: a language class, a youth culture camp, a weaving circle with elders. It sits inside the same network as everything else, so learners use one sign-in and stay part of the community after the class ends.

02
Elders write their own lessons.

The person teaching writes each lesson, puts the lessons in order, and decides when each one is shared. A lesson stays a draft, seen only by the people running the class, until they share it. Nothing is written or supplied by anyone outside the Nation.

03
Sessions and attendance.

Each Teaching has its schedule of sessions. The instructor marks who was present, including participants who have no account, such as a young child or a visiting elder. A correction replaces the earlier mark, so the count stays true.

Running the program
04
Nobody enrolls themselves.

Learners are added by the people the Nation authorizes to run its programs. Requests to teach or to join are approved or declined by the program's administrator. An instructor can be given a substitute for a set period, after which the substitute's access ends automatically.

05
Reports show numbers, not names.

The participation report for a funder gives counts only: sessions held, people served, attendance. It cannot carry a name or a recording, so a grant report never exposes what any individual said or did.

06
A seat that loses funding does not vanish.

If a funded seat ends, it becomes read-only. The learner keeps reading what was shared and keeps the right to download their own work. The planned class size is a planning number; whoever runs the class decides who is in it.

How to use it
Open Teachings
In My Community, choose Teachings. A Nation may give it its own name.
Set up terms and classes
The program administrator creates the term, then each Teaching within it, and names its instructor.
Add learners
The administrator adds each learner to a Teaching. Learners do not sign themselves up.
Write and share lessons
The instructor writes lessons, orders them, and shares each one when ready. Unshared lessons stay private to the people running the class.
Hold sessions and mark attendance
On the day, the instructor opens the session and marks who is present.
Produce the funder report
The administrator opens the participation report for the period the funder asks about.
Tablet Basics course
A short self-paced course for new tablet users: five lessons and twenty questions, with a numbered certificate on passing. The administrator can download the list of completions.
What stays in the Nation's hands
The curriculum
What is taught, by whom and in what order is decided by the Nation. No lessons are supplied or seeded.
The language
Lessons draw on vocabulary and recordings the community has already documented in its own network.
Individual privacy
Funder reports carry counts only. Recordings and personal contributions stay inside the network.
