Your “MyWAOL” account will be where you manage courses you will be teaching through WAOL.

To access your MyWAOL account:

1. From your Canvas account access the course "WAOL Shared Course Instructors" (if this course isn't an option contact wa-online@sbctc.edu to request access)

2. From the course homepage click on the link "MyWAOL Homepage"

3. You'll be redirected to your MyWAOL account, from there you can access Intent to Teach forms, course management tools, etc.

To teach a course through WAOL:

1. If you plan to teach a course previously offered through WAOL move to Step 3. If you plan to teach a course new to WAOL your eLearning Coordinator (ELC) will need to complete a new course submission form.

2. WAOL assigns your course a WAOL ID number once we receive the new course submission form from your college. We send that number to you and to your college. Please save this number for future reference as this is the number we will use to reference your course. (Your college’s item number is not used in our system).

3. To submit a course to teach you’ll need to fill out anIntent to Teach Form each quarter. Follow this link for step-by-step instructions: Instructor Intent to Teach Form

4. Once your ITT is submitted, your ELC can approve your contract for teaching the class that quarter and will approve the class capacity and number of sections. If you are teaching a system-owned shared course, the capacity must be 30 or fewer. Upon approval, WAOL creates your course in the WAOL student management system, and WAOL is ready to take college registrations.

5. You will have access to your course shell two weeks prior to the course start date. If you would like access to your course earlier please contact Brook Bane (bbane@sbctc.edu).

6. Log back into your MyWAOL account to view your roster. You can use this roster to send emails to your students before class begins (assuming WAOL got an email address from the college that enrolled the student).

7. Be sure the contact information and credentials are correct in your MyWAOL account. WAOL uses this information to communicate with instructors.
