**For supervisors**

A **Space is a teaching, learning and assessment environment within the Multifunctional Room**. It works as a virtual classroom for a class, workshop or training group, bringing together invited participants, resources, activities and ongoing feedback.

In translator and interpreter training, it supports comprehension, translation and interpreting practice, discussion of choices and revision. The Supervisor organizes this experience and follows the Spaces they created or are assigned to.

## Give the space a learning purpose

Start with what the group needs to learn. Select materials and activities, explain participation and agree how feedback will be provided.

| Dimension | What to plan |
| - | - |
| **Learning objective** | Which knowledge, skills or translation choices will the group develop? |
| **Participants and context** | Who is the Space for, which languages will be used and what experience does the group bring? |
| **Materials and guidance** | Which references help participants understand and prepare? |
| **Practice and interaction** | Will the group discuss, produce videos, interpret, collaborate or meet live? |
| **Support** | How will participants receive guidance and reflect on their work? |

### Plan a learning journey

Present this information clearly and, when possible, in the group’s sign language. A possible sequence is:

1. Explore a video, text or other reference and explain what to observe.
2. Use Comments only to exchange interpretations and questions.
3. Choose Submission, Simultaneous or Consecutive for the skill being practised.
4. Offer feedback and invite reflection on translation decisions.

<Tip>Adapt the sequence to the objective, languages, participant level and available activities. Explain what will be learned, what is expected and how contributions will be followed.</Tip>

## Create and introduce the Space

The instructions use English control names. Screenshots show an example installation in German; use field position and function as a guide.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start in the Multifunctional Room" icon="plus">
    Locate the creation card and select **Add space**.

    <Frame caption="Start in the Multifunctional Room">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/JgktHSHKbINx3dgY/images/supervisor-spaces/add-space.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JgktHSHKbINx3dgY&q=85&s=c79740d670af78b2bfd94448d011bcf3" alt="Start in the Multifunctional Room" width="380" loading="lazy" data-path="images/supervisor-spaces/add-space.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose an image and a name" icon="image">
    Use **Add image** to provide a cover. Enter a **Name** that identifies the class, workshop or training proposal, for example **Interpreting workshop — introductory group**.

    <Frame caption="Choose an image and a name">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/JgktHSHKbINx3dgY/images/supervisor-spaces/name-and-cover.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JgktHSHKbINx3dgY&q=85&s=708a0e423f0a81bf655f26f2039b9311" alt="Choose an image and a name" width="700" loading="lazy" data-path="images/supervisor-spaces/name-and-cover.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explain the proposal and prepare written versions" icon="pen-to-square">
    Under **About the space**, describe the learning objective, audience, working languages and organization. Although optional, the description helps participants understand the purpose and expectations. Use **Add another language?** for written versions of the name and introduction. The screenshot uses German as the source and provides English and Portuguese fields.

    <Frame caption="Explain the proposal and prepare written versions">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/JgktHSHKbINx3dgY/images/supervisor-spaces/description-and-languages.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JgktHSHKbINx3dgY&q=85&s=c9e8ead45eb0fef9d479678fb1d6d3eb" alt="Explain the proposal and prepare written versions" width="560" loading="lazy" data-path="images/supervisor-spaces/description-and-languages.png" />
    </Frame>

    <Tip>Present the learning journey: topics, materials, participation and feedback.</Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a sign language introduction" icon="hands">
    When available, add a video in the group’s sign language. Choose **Upload** or **Record**; for a file, use **Upload video** and review it.

    <Frame caption="Add a sign language introduction">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/JgktHSHKbINx3dgY/images/supervisor-spaces/presentation-video.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JgktHSHKbINx3dgY&q=85&s=8bdf1ea6496402c90a241f84b2d982fe" alt="Add a sign language introduction" width="500" loading="lazy" data-path="images/supervisor-spaces/presentation-video.png" />
    </Frame>

    The example indicates **250 MB per video**, optional **.vtt** subtitles and markers. Check your installation’s options and limits. Verify visibility of hands, face and movements. The responsible team must prepare and check written versions and sign language videos.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finish and find the new Space" icon="clipboard-check">
    Review the name, image, description and video, then finish using the form controls. The new card appears under **My spaces**, showing its title and activity and participant counts.

    <Frame caption="Finish and find the new Space">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/JgktHSHKbINx3dgY/images/supervisor-spaces/created-space.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JgktHSHKbINx3dgY&q=85&s=faccd13e0654a00335a890fe55ca618b" alt="Finish and find the new Space" width="330" loading="lazy" data-path="images/supervisor-spaces/created-space.png" />
    </Frame>

    Zero counts belong to this newly created example. Invite the group and prepare activities according to your plan.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Space and review its introduction" icon="door-open">
    Select the card and check the title and **About** section. The page includes participant invitations, editing, assessment settings and activity tabs.

    <Frame caption="Open the Space and review its introduction">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/JgktHSHKbINx3dgY/images/supervisor-spaces/space-overview.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JgktHSHKbINx3dgY&q=85&s=fba32d6ab56960465273352b9962e9c1" alt="Open the Space and review its introduction" width="700" loading="lazy" data-path="images/supervisor-spaces/space-overview.png" />
    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Invite participants and organize access

Use **Invite participants** and follow the options shown. Invitations provide participants with access to that Space’s activities. Access and editing controls depend on permissions. **Editor** allows editing certain content and is not the same role as Supervisor.

| Control | Use |
| - | - |
| **Invite participants** | Start inviting the group. |
| **Edit** | Change the introduction and available Space settings. |
| **Manage access** | Open access management, according to permissions. |
| **Assessment settings** | Open the Space’s assessment settings. |

Tell the group where to find the introduction, open activities and follow feedback.

## Organize the learning activities

Choose the tab for your proposal. One Space contains both freeform and assessment activities.

### Freeform activities

Use this tab for discussions, submissions, meetings and interpreting practice. Select **New activity** or the available add action.

<Frame caption="Freeform activities">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/JgktHSHKbINx3dgY/images/supervisor-spaces/free-activities-tab.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JgktHSHKbINx3dgY&q=85&s=66256fd43f4eda876121d11587bacc82" alt="Freeform activities" width="500" loading="lazy" data-path="images/supervisor-spaces/free-activities-tab.png" />
</Frame>

See the [illustrated creation flow and collaborative pad guide](/en/visual-classroom/supervisor/free-activities).

### Assessment activities

This tab contains structured **Reception, Production and Interaction** tasks. Select **Add activity**.

<Frame caption="Assessment activities">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/levante-lab/JgktHSHKbINx3dgY/images/supervisor-spaces/assessment-tab.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=JgktHSHKbINx3dgY&q=85&s=0f876aac6d817713b754dee0edb144cf" alt="Assessment activities" width="700" loading="lazy" data-path="images/supervisor-spaces/assessment-tab.png" />
</Frame>

[Learn how to create assessment activities](/en/visual-classroom/supervisor/assessment).

### Follow learning

Combine activities and use grades and reports when enabled. Explain feedback for freeform tasks; define criteria and result release for assessment tasks. Revisit productions and encourage reflection on translation and interpreting choices.

[Read the assessment and support guide](/en/visual-classroom/supervisor/evaluation).

## Check before starting with the group

* Do the name and introduction explain the Space’s purpose?
* Do written versions and the introduction video match the group’s languages?
* Were participants invited to the correct Space?
* Do activities and instructions match the learning objective?
* Does the group know how to participate and find feedback?

Edit the introduction and settings as needed and check what participants see.

<Note>Screenshots show a German example installation. Names, fields, options and permissions may vary. **Edit banner** and visible IDs belong to introduction-content management.</Note>
