How do I join a workshop on Grok?
Sometimes your attendance at an in-person workshop, online event or involvement in a special project requires you to join a workshop on Grok. Workshops on Grok allow you to access a specific program of courses just for that workshop!
Here's how to access your workshop:
I've been given a workshop URL:
If you've been given a workshop URL then you can use this to access the workshop. You can recognise a workshop URL if it:
- starts with https, or
- starts with www, or
- contains a couple of short words and some full stops, like cmp.ac/workshop or get.gl/workshop
If you're not sure if you have a URL or a code, follow step 1 and see what happens.
1. Click the workshop URL, or type it into your internet browser address bar
Clicking the URL or typing it into the address bar should bring you straight to Grok.
If you're on our Login page, go to step 2. If you're already logged in to Grok, then you'll go straight to the workshop! Skip to step 3.
2. Register or Log in to Grok Academy (if you're not already logged in)
If you already have an account on the Grok platform, log in! If you don't have an account yet, let's register first.
In the top right corner, click on Register. Fill in the details.
Most of our workshops are for teachers - if this is you, select the appropriate teacher role, and this will give you access to teacher notes. Otherwise select the role that best represents your use of Grok.
Click "create an account".
Awesome, now you're logged in. You'll see a page that gives you some instructions to finish setting up your account. If you have time, do them now!
If you don't have time, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Start Grokking". You should go straight to the workshop screen.
3. Enrol in workshop
When you reach the workshop screen, you can confirm your enrolment and get started! Your workshop code should already be pre-filled for you.
Select your institution from the list. If you haven't added your institution to your account yet, you can do it here.
Confirm your institution - select it from the list if you have multiple institutions on your account.
Or add a new institution to your account - type in the box to find your institution.
Welcome to your workshop! You can access the courses designated from the workshop from this page.
I've been given a workshop code:
If you haven't been given a workshop URL but you know the workshop code then you can use this to access the workshop. Your code will be 18 characters or less, no spaces, and likely contain at least one hyphen. For example: example-w-code could be a workshop code.
