Classes & Analytics / Who a class is for
Individuals, tutoring businesses, schools and universities
How the platform actually models who you are, which is simpler than the marketing suggests.
Two shapes, not five.
There are two shapes, not five
TeachForge's public pages speak to schools and universities, to tutoring businesses, to charities and to partners. Inside the product there is no field for any of that. An account is one of two things.
An individual account
You own your classes, your learners and your subscription. The profile page shows Individual account where an organisation would be.
A member of an organisation
An administrator provisions the organisation. It owns the seats, sets the student ID pattern, may require two-factor authentication, and is billed by invoice.
A tutoring business with three tutors can work perfectly well as three individual accounts. An organisation is worth having when you need shared student IDs across teachers, central billing, your own domain or a link to a learning platform — not because of what kind of institution you are.
What an organisation adds
| Individual | Organisation | |
|---|---|---|
| Student ID pattern | You pick from the patterns available | The organisation can require one, and the class form locks to it |
| Handle scope | Unique across your own classes | Unique across the whole organisation, so one learner is one handle for every teacher |
| Billing | Your own subscription | Invoice, with seats. Your profile reads Covered by the organisation |
| Sign-in address | teachforge.ai | Can be the organisation's own subdomain or domain |
| Learning platform | — | LTI 1.3, set up once by an administrator |
| Security policy | Yours | The organisation can require two-factor authentication of every member |
The handle scope is the one that matters most in practice. In an organisation, a learner taught by two teachers is one learner with one record, and both teachers' analytics know it. Across two individual accounts they are two unrelated strangers.
How many classes and learners
Class and learner limits come from the plan rather than from the kind of institution.
| Plan | Classes | Per class | Total learners |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quest | 30 | 50 | 300 |
| Academy | 150 | 150 | 2,000 |
The class creation page shows where you are against these, and tells you plainly when a limit is reached. Free and Standard have no classes at all.
Which you have
Your profile answers it. The Account Details card has an Organisation row reading either Individual account or the organisation's name.
Getting an organisation set up is not self-service — an administrator provisions it. See When your account is covered by an organisation for what changes for you, and the organisation admin portal for what an administrator manages.
