You must have Creator access in your region in order to create a workspace – without this access, the ‘Create a Workspace’ setup will not be available when you click on your newly created ATLAS link.

You can request access by filling out the Region ‘Creator’ Access Request Form. Once you have Creator access, you can follow the instructions below to create a new workspace for your course in ATLAS.

1. Refer to Creating links to Pebble+ & ATLAS in Learning@Griffith before moving on to Step 2
2. Click on the newly created ATLAS link – ATLAS will open in a new tab
3. You will see the Create a workspace setup page
4. Select Choose an existing workspace to copy settings and other components from
5. Select the workspace you’d like to duplicate from the drop-down menu
6. Click Continue
7. Change the title of the workspace to reflect the current course code
8. Select the relevant region for the course (if you’re enrolled in more than one)
9. Choose which components from the previous workspace should be duplicated into the new one
   
   

   WARNING: DO NOT SELECT ‘MEMBERS’ OR ‘SETS’ – this will copy the students and any groups from the previous workspace into the new one.

10. Choose whether to create the region in Setup Mode or Active Mode
    
    - Setup mode: Students will not have access to any resources you share in this workspace until you Activate it. They will not be able to see the workspace in their ATLAS dashboard
    
    - Active mode: Students will have access to all shared resources within this workspace and will be able to see it in their ATLAS dashboard
11. Click Continue
12. You will then see a list of Managers in the workspace – this will include anyone with a teaching role in the course
13. Click Continue
14. You will then see a list of Members in the workspace – these are all of the students currently enrolled in the course
15. Click Finish
16. Depending on your browser – you may see a dialogue box that says Are you sure you want to duplicate the workspace? – click OK
17. You will then be re-directed to the landing page – if you left the setting as default, you will see the Management – About Page
18. You are able to edit the text on this page by changing the text and adding links
19. Alternatively, you can also create a Page in Pebble+ to use on this page!
    
    

    NOTE: Students will only see this page if they enter ATLAS.

20. If you chose to create the workspace in Setup Mode, you will see a yellow bar across the top reminding you to activate the workspace.
21. Othe far-right of the page, you will see a green Activate button. Click this once you’re ready to release your shared resources to students.
