Running a Workshop

Workshops let you run Prompt Lab as a whole-class activity — with a shared session code, a pinned module everyone sees, and a live dashboard showing who's done what.

Creating a workshop

1. Sign in with an Instructor account (choose "Instructor / Teacher" when registering).
2. Click your name in the top-right → 🎓 Dashboard.
3. Click Create workshop and give it a name (e.g. "Period 3 – Prompt Lab").
4. A 6-character join code is generated automatically.

Students joining

1. Students click their name → 🏫 Join workshop.
2. They type the 6-character code you give them.
3. They're added to your workshop roster immediately.

Pinning a module

From your Dashboard, click Pin module next to any workshop. A dropdown appears with all 13 modules. When a module is pinned:

• A blue 📌 banner appears at the top of every student's screen with a direct link
• The banner updates in real time — no page refresh needed
• Unpin it when you're ready to move on

The instructor dashboard

Your dashboard shows:

• All your active workshops with member counts
• Each student's progress (modules completed, quizzes done, playground runs)
• Who's online (approximate — based on recent activity)

Closing a workshop

Click Close workshop to archive it. The join code becomes inactive, but student progress is preserved.

Classroom tips

• Start with Module 1 (Introduction to Prompt Engineering) as a whole-class read-along
• Use the Playground for live demonstrations — project your screen and let students type prompts
• Set a 10-minute timer for quiz challenges — students compete for perfect scores
• Use the Challenges page for group activities — no single right answer encourages discussion
