Written by Kat Morgan

Welcome to Mindjoy! This guide covers the key areas of the platform to help you get started as an educator.


Your home dashboard

After signing in, you land on your home dashboard. The Educator Agent composer sits front and centre, with quick actions to create a lesson, create a tutor, assign content or check classroom insights, and a list of suggested tasks tailored to your recent work. You can also see your recently created and assigned content. If you are new, use the Need help? button in the top bar to open a Get Started guide that walks you through the basics; it tucks itself away once you have completed the steps.
