Classes are now Listings & Sessions

July 12th, 2009 by Natala

When we launched the original format for classes on TeachStreet we had one goal: get awesome classes live on the site quickly and easily. Over the last year, we’ve learned a lot more about what makes a class awesome and the needs of Teachers and Schools to list their classes on the site. We also heard that the class editor that we had was “good” but not good enough.

So, with this release, I am excited to announce some BIG changes to how classes are listed on TeachStreet that we hope will improve your experience.  With the new Listings Editor you can:

  • List anything related to an area of expertise be it a class, event, workshop, private lesson or office hours. If you teach it, you can list it — for FREE.
  • Have a class with sessions in different locations, with different teachers, prices or dates.
  • Pause a listing when it is no longer available
  • Accept enrollments and payments for your listings

As part of this improved experience,  we changed the format for listings from “Classes” with a specific topic, location, teacher and price to Listings (subject related information) that can be associated with multiple sessions (location, date, teacher, price information). Our goal with the new “Listing & Sessions” concept is to provide you with a more flexible and extensible listing platform.

To help make the transition easy, we have already migrated all of our existing classes to the new Listings & Sessions format. We recommend that Teachers review these changes to confirm the updates to pricing information and listing format.
