Odijoo

A campus is a fully branded, personalized and secure online space located at a subdomain of a user’s choosing (ie yourcampusname.Odijoo.com). Users can sign up for a campus for free and once approved (within 48 hours) can instantly have their own online space from which to store, promote and sell seats to their classrooms. Campus administrators can invite members into the campus, add courses to the campus and modify the campus’s look and feel to match that of their organization, website or personal preference. 

Setting up an Odijoo Campus

To apply for a campus, users can log into Odijoo and click on the Create a Campus link on the top right hand side of the Odijoo front page. The next step is to fill out the short form, which includes the name users wish to give to their campus. After the form is submitted, Odijoo will contact the user and create the campus for them within 1 business day.

Once the campus is created, it can be accessed in the Community menu, under My campuses. The next step is to edit the campus’s settings, which include:

• Name – A name for the campus.
• Company URL –  If applicable, this is the URL of the organization running the campus.
• Message – a short message that users can see even if they’re not members of your campus.
• Campus Logo – the logo people see when accessing or finding the campus.
• Campus Publisher settings – If this is set to do not require admin approval, it means that users who are appointed as course publishers in a campus (allowed to publish courses into it) do not need approval before publishing each course into the campus. If this is set to require admin approval, the campus administrator must approve every classroom that is published into the campus, before it is made available in the campus.
• Login Message – a message that members of the campus see once they log in.

Roles in an Odijoo campus

The users who run and contribute to a campus have several roles. These include:

• Campus Owner – An owner is the individual who contacts Odijoo for permission to create a campus. When the campus is set up by Odijoo, the owner has full control over all campus settings and functions, including the ability to assign administrators to the campus. By default, when a campus is set up, the owner is also an administrator, but this can be changed by the owner at any time. The owner of a campus is the only individual who has the ability to add and delete administrators to and from the campus.
• Campus Administrator – An administrator is an individual appointed to the campus by the owner, to manage campus publishers and classrooms. An administrator can add and delete publishers and classrooms to and from the campus at any time. A campus can have an unlimited amount of administrators.
• Campus Publisher – A publisher is an individual appointed by an administrator to publish their classrooms to a campus. Publishers can also manage their classrooms and invite teachers and students to teach or participate in them. A campus can have an unlimited amount of publishers. If a classroom within a campus has paid enrollment and users enroll, after a user pays the enrollment price, the Publisher is the one who receives it from Odijoo.
• Teacher – A teacher is an individual appointed by a publisher to instruct a classroom in a campus. This includes teaching course content and interacting with and grading students. A teacher cannot change course content, but only instruct it.
• Student – A student is the individual who enrolls in a course to learn. In a private campus, students may take courses only if they are invited by a Publisher. In a public campus, students have permission to enroll in courses without having to be invited.

Private Campuses

When a user sets up a campus, they have a choice to make the campus either private or public.

A private campus is one that is not publically accessible for enrollment in Odijoo. Users cannot view it or become members of it unless they receive an invitation to do so from a campus administrator or owner.

Open enrollment classrooms in a private campus – Open enrollment classrooms are ones which anyone can enroll in, without having to be invited. Once a user is invited into a private campus and becomes a member, they can view and enroll in these types of classrooms. If the classroom is set to paid enrollment, where the classroom administrator charges a fee for students to enroll, users must first click to add the classroom to their cart and pay for it within Odijoo via PayPal. Once they do this, the classroom becomes available to them in the Classrooms Menu.

Open Enrollment Classrooms in a private campus are ideal for organizational training. For example, ABC Corporation can start a campus and import all of its corporate training courses into it. They can then invite employees to join. Each member can access all the training courses in the campus. ABC Corporation can decide to either charge for courses in the classroom, or offer them for free – this depends on each individual course’s settings.

Closed enrollment (By invitation only) classrooms in a private campus – Closed enrollment classrooms are ones that a user cannot enroll in unless invited to do so by the classroom’s administrator. To join a closed enrollment classroom within a private campus, users must first be invited to join the campus by the campus administrator and once becoming members, must be invited to join the closed enrollment classroom by the classroom administrator. If the classroom is set to paid enrollment, where the classroom administrator charges a fee for students to enroll, users must first click to add the classroom to their cart and pay for it within Odijoo via PayPal before being able to enroll.

Closed enrollment classrooms in a private campus are ideal for corporate trainers with many clients or Educational Institutions. For example, Kelly the corporate trainer may have 2 clients that she is training: a financial institution and a welding association. She can invite members of both organizations to her campus, but limit the financial training courses to only members of the financial institution and the welder training courses to only members of the welding association. This ensures that the right group of people has permission to view the right group of classrooms, from the same central private training campus.

Pricing for Purchasing Seats to a Private Campus in Odijoo

Campuses set to private are limited only to members that are invited in and no one else. To invite members into a private campus, the campus administrator or owner must purchase seats from Odijoo. Each seat represents a spot for a campus member and Odijoo seats are sold in blocks. For example, if ABC Corporation wants to invite 100 employees to their campus, they must purchase a block of 100 seats from Odijoo for their campus. To purchase seats for a private campus, a user can contact Odijoo by email at sales@odijoo.com and wait for a sales representative to get back to them, within 1 business day.

Seats are sold in blocks of either 100, 500 or 1,000. Pricing for seats in an Odijoo Private Campuses is as follows:

• All prices are in $USD

Users can view these campuses, choose the ones they want to become members of and become members instantly. Owners of this type of campus do not need to buy any seats and there can be an unlimited amount of members.

While the campus is private in terms of who can join, the availability and accessibility of the classrooms imported into the campus depend on each classroom’s respective settings.

Open enrollment classrooms in a public campus – Open enrollment classrooms are ones which anyone can enroll in, without having to be invited. Once a user is a member of a public campus, they can view and enroll in these types of classrooms in the campus. If the classroom is set to paid enrollment, where the classroom administrator charges a fee for students to enroll, users must first click to add the classroom to their cart and pay for it within Odijoo via PayPal.

Open Enrollment Classrooms in a private campus are ideal for subject matter experts. For example, if Bill knows a lot about internet marketing, he may want to monetize his knowledge in Odijoo. He can create classrooms about Internet Marketing 101 and import them into his own personalized and branded Odijoo campus. Odijoo members can find his campus and enroll in his courses for a set enrollment price. Bill now has his own online business within Odijoo!
