Educator Guide: Dashboard, Programs & Community

Your complete guide to managing programs, creating quizzes, booking sessions, and building a thriving learning community on uBitto.

1. Getting Started

As an educator on uBitto, your community is where learning comes alive. Students don't just take your courses — they practice, interact, ask questions, and grow together in your community group and forums.

Accessing Your Community

1. Go to Community from the top navigation menu.
2. You'll see all groups you're a member of or manage.
3. Click on your program's community group to enter.

Click Dashboard in the bottom navigation bar or go to the main menu and select Educator Dashboard.

Programs Management

The Programs tab shows all your created programs organized by status.

3. Creating & Editing Programs

Programs are the core of your teaching business on uBitto. The program creation wizard walks you through 8 steps. Here's a detailed breakdown of each step.

Step 1: Program Type

Choose the format that best describes your teaching style:

• 1-on-1 Private Tutor — Personalized sessions booked individually. You set your availability and students book time slots.
• Live Group Class — Fixed schedule classes with multiple students. Set conducting days, start/end times, and class capacity.
• Self-Paced Course — Pre-recorded lessons and quizzes that students complete at their own pace. No live sessions needed.
• Experience Maker — Cultural immersion events like cooking classes, K-pop workshops, or tours. Can be fixed schedule or on-demand.

Step 2: Basic Info

Program Title — Your title is the first thing potential students see. A great title can make the difference between someone clicking or scrolling past.

• Be specific about what students will learn
• Include the target outcome or skill
• Keep it under 70 characters for best display

Good examples: "Korean for Beginners: Read Hangul in 7 Days", "TOPIK II Prep: From Level 3 to Level 5"

Short Description — This appears in search results and program listings. Think of it as your elevator pitch — you have 200 characters to convince someone to click.

• Lead with the main benefit or transformation
• Use action words: Master, Build, Achieve, Transform
• Address your target audience's goal or pain point

Program Description — Your chance to tell potential students everything they need to know. A well-written description builds trust and drives enrollments.

• Opening: Hook them with the transformation or outcome
• Who it's for: Describe your ideal student
• What they'll learn: Key topics or skills (bullet points work well)
• Your approach: What makes your teaching style effective

Featured Image — Your visual first impression. A professional, eye-catching image significantly increases clicks.

• Recommended size: 1200 x 630 pixels (16:9 ratio)
• Include yourself — students connect with faces
• Use good lighting and clear, high-quality photos
• Keep text minimal — the image should work without text

Step 3: Program Details

Teaching Subject — Select the language you're teaching. If your subject isn't listed, you can add a new category.

Language of Instruction — The language(s) you use to teach (not the language being taught). For example, if you teach Korean to English speakers, select English.

Location — Even for online programs, location matters for time zone convenience and cultural context. You can type your city or pick on the map.

Focus Areas — Help students understand what specific skills your program addresses. Select up to 5:

• Beginners — Starting from zero
• Conversational — Speaking and listening focus
• Business & Work — Professional language skills
• Exam Preparation — TOPIK, JLPT, HSK, etc.
• For Children — Age-appropriate teaching
• Traveling — Practical tourist phrases

Program Level — uBitto uses the 5S proficiency system:

• Seed — Complete beginners
• Sprout — Knows basics, building foundation
• Survival — Can handle everyday situations
• Solid — Comfortable in most situations
• Significant — Near-fluent, complex topics

Program Tags — Select up to 10 tags to help students discover your program in search.

Community Group — Create or link a community group where students can interact, ask questions, and share progress. Click "Create Community Group" to auto-create one.

Step 4: Media

Preview Video — A 1-3 minute video introducing yourself and your program. This is one of the most effective conversion tools.

• Position camera at eye level, record in landscape mode
• Use natural daylight, face the light source
• Introduce yourself, explain your teaching approach, end with a call-to-action

Photo Gallery — 3-6 additional photos showing your teaching environment, materials, or past sessions. Programs with galleries have higher enrollment rates.

Certificate Template — Choose a certificate template that students receive upon completing your program. Browse and select from the available designs.

Step 5: Credentials

Add your professional credentials to build trust:

• HRDC Claimable — Check this if your program qualifies for HRDC funding (Malaysian employers can claim training costs)
• Certified Interpreter — If you hold interpretation certification
• Upload supporting documents for verification

Step 6: About You

Your educator profile that displays on the program page. This is pre-filled from your account but you can customize it per program:

• Teaching experience and background
• Native speaker status
• Years of experience

Step 7: Schedule & Pricing

For 1-on-1 Programs:

• Set your session rates for different durations (30min, 1hr, 1.5hr, 2hr)
• Rates are set in USD — currency conversion is automatic for students
• Enable packages to offer bulk discounts (Starter 4%, Boost 9%, Pro 14%, Master 18%)

For Group Classes:

• Set conducting days (Mon-Sun) and session times
• Define class capacity (max students per session)
• Set subscription pricing (4-week, 12-week, 24-week options)
• Optionally offer a trial lesson at a reduced price

For Self-Paced Courses:

• Set a one-time enrollment fee or make it free
• Choose progression mode: Linear (step-by-step) or Free Form (any order)

AI Assistance Throughout the Process

uBitto integrates AI to help you at multiple stages of program creation. You don't have to write everything from scratch.

Generate Program Content with AI (Step 2)

At the top of Step 2, you'll see a "Generate with AI" button. Describe your program idea in a few sentences, and the AI will generate:

• Program Title — An optimized, compelling title
• Short Description — A punchy elevator pitch for search results
• Full Description — A detailed program description with structure

Generate Lesson Outlines with AI (Course Builder)

After creating your program, you can use the AI Lesson Generator in the course builder to auto-create lesson outlines.

1. Go to your program and click Course Builder.
2. Click the Generate Lessons with AI button.
3. Provide instructions — topic focus, number of lessons, difficulty level.
4. Optionally check "Generate lesson content" to get full lesson descriptions too.
5. The AI creates structured lessons with titles and content that you can edit and rearrange.

Step 8: Review & Submit

Preview everything before publishing. You can go back to any step to make changes. Once submitted, your program will be:

• Published immediately if you're an approved educator
• Pending review if this is your first program

• AI Teaching Assistant — Let the AI suggest and post quizzes to topics

Editing Quizzes

You can edit any quiz you've created:

• Click Edit Quiz on any quiz in your Teacher Cabinet
• Or click the Edit button directly on an embedded quiz in a forum
• Changes are saved immediately and reflected everywhere the quiz is used

Quiz Audio (TTS)

For quiz types that require audio (Dictation, Dialogue, Speaking Script), uBitto can automatically generate Korean text-to-speech audio. Audio is generated when you save the quiz.

5. Schedule & Booking

If your program includes live sessions (1-on-1 or Group Class), students book time with you through the integrated booking system powered by Amelia.

How Booking Works

1. You set your available days and times when creating your program.
2. Your availability is displayed as a heatmap on your program page.
3. Students click Book Now to open the booking widget.
4. They select a service, date, time, and complete payment.
5. Both you and the student receive confirmation notifications.

Managing Your Availability

Your availability is synced from your program's schedule settings. To change your available times:

1. Go to Edit Program → Schedule & Pricing.
2. Update your conducting days and session times.
3. Save — your availability heatmap updates automatically.

Booking Notifications

When a student books a session, you'll receive:

• An email confirmation with booking details
• The booking appears in your Amelia calendar
• Students can view their upcoming bookings from their dashboard

Trial Lessons

You can offer trial lessons at a reduced price to attract new students. Enable this in Step 7 of program creation. Trial lessons appear as a separate booking option on your program page.

6. Awarding Points to Students

Recognize your students' efforts by awarding skill points. Points are tracked across 7 language skills that make up the LEVS GRW framework.

Skill Categories

• Listening — Comprehension and audio understanding

• Refresh items regularly to keep the shop exciting

8. Community Groups

Each program can have its own private community group. This is a dedicated space where your enrolled students can interact, share progress, and discuss lessons.

What's Inside a Group

• Forum — Discussion threads for lessons, Q&A, and practice
• Activity Feed — Recent activity from all members
• Members — List of enrolled students

2. Click New Discussion.
3. Enter a title and your lesson content.
4. Click Submit to post.

Replying to Students

Lesson Structure Tips

For the best teaching experience, structure your forum topics like mini-lessons:

• Start with a brief explanation or vocabulary list
• Include a "Learnt:" section listing key vocabulary or grammar points
• Add practice quizzes (see next section)
• End with a discussion prompt or homework assignment

10. Sharing Quizzes in Forums

11. AI Writing Review

uBitto's AI Writing Review uses Claude AI to provide instant Korean writing corrections for your students — directly in the forum.

How It Works

1. A student writes a Korean text in a forum reply.
2. Click the AI Review button on their reply.
3. The AI analyzes the text and posts a correction reply showing errors with [wrong → right] formatting.
4. The student earns Writing skill points, and 3 cookies are deducted from their balance.

What Gets Corrected

• Spelling errors
• Grammar mistakes (particles, verb endings, conjugation)
• Missing or incorrect spacing
• Unnatural expressions

12. AI Teaching Assistant

The AI Teaching Assistant helps you create and suggest quizzes based on your lesson content. It's available as a sidebar panel on forum topic pages.

Opening the Teaching Assistant

1. Open a forum topic where you've posted a lesson.
2. Click the Teaching Assistant button in the sidebar (purple button).
3. The panel slides in from the right side.

Features

Lesson Analysis — The AI reads your lesson content (specifically the "Learnt:" section) and identifies key vocabulary and grammar points.

Quiz Suggestions — Based on the lesson analysis, the AI suggests existing quizzes from your library that match the content.

Generate New Quiz — If no suitable quiz exists, the AI can generate a brand new quiz based on the lesson vocabulary. You can choose the quiz type and provide instructions.

Multi-Difficulty Generation — Generate Easy, Medium, and Hard versions of the same quiz for differentiated learning.

Post to Topic — Once generated, you can post the quiz directly to the current forum topic with one click.

13. Activity Feed

The activity feed shows a timeline of all activity in your community — quiz completions, forum posts, new members, and more.

Where to Find It

• Global Activity — Click Activity in the bottom navigation to see all platform activity.
• Group Activity — Inside your community group, click the Activity tab to see group-specific activity.

What Shows in the Feed

• Quiz results posted by students
• New forum topics and replies
• New members joining the group
• Points and cookie awards

14. Notifications

Stay on top of your community with BuddyBoss notifications. You'll receive alerts when:

• A student replies to your forum topic
• A student mentions you in a post
• A new member joins your group
• A student completes a quiz in your forum
• A program is assigned to you (for cloned courses)

15. Expert Profile

Not ready to run a full teaching program? That's okay. The Expert Profile is designed for skilled Korean language professionals who want to stay connected with uBitto for future opportunities — without the commitment of being an active educator.

What Is the Expert Profile?

Think of it as your professional profile in uBitto's talent network. By filling out your Expert Profile, you're letting uBitto know you're available for:

• Korean-English Interpretation — Corporate events, expos, business meetings, and conferences
• Short-Term Projects — Translation work, content review, cultural consulting, or curriculum development
• Community Initiatives — Volunteering for uBitto-led events, workshops, or cultural exchange programs
• Guest Teaching — One-off lessons, workshops, or masterclasses without running a full program
• Content Creation — Contributing quiz content, blog posts, or educational materials

Who Should Fill This Out?

• Korean language professionals who are too busy for full-time teaching but want occasional work
• Certified interpreters looking for event-based opportunities
• Native Korean speakers with expertise in specific fields (business, entertainment, culture)
• Current educators who want to be considered for additional projects beyond their programs

How to Set Up Your Expert Profile

1. Go to your Educator Dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Expert Profile section.
3. Fill in your professional details — skills, experience, availability, and preferred project types.
4. Upload any relevant credentials or certificates.
5. Click Save to submit your profile.

How It Works

Your Expert Profile is not publicly visible — it's only accessible to the uBitto team. When a project or opportunity arises that matches your skills and availability, uBitto will reach out to you directly.

16. Best Practices

Engage Regularly

Post at least 2-3 forum topics per week. Consistent engagement keeps students motivated and coming back.

Mix Content Types

Don't just post text lessons. Mix in quizzes, discussion prompts, cultural content, and media to keep things interesting.

Respond Promptly

Try to reply to student questions within 24 hours. Quick responses build trust and show students you care about their progress.

Use AI Tools Wisely

The AI Writing Review and Teaching Assistant are there to help you scale — but they work best as supplements to your personal feedback, not replacements.

Celebrate Progress

Award points and gift cookies generously. Recognition motivates students to keep learning.
