After matching a project with an experience, the experience administrators will invite their learners to work on your project.
Team creation
Learners may begin a project in three different ways which is determined by the experience administrators:
The educator assigns them to a project
The learners self-assign to a project
The learners apply to a project
Once a team is assigned (or has an application accepted) for the matched project, you may begin the manage the team and otherwise proceed with the project work.
