The free project

A free account lets you run one real, complete project with your class, from start to finish.

What the free plan gives you

Every school year, your free account offers two projects: one reading project and one writing project. So you can take a class through a reading workshop and a writing workshop without paying anything.

The free plan also includes:

• one class, with up to 35 students,
• sign-in codes for your students, to hand out as you like,
• browsing the catalog and importing Moiki’s official templates,
• publishing your own workshops to the catalog, which is open to every plan.

One story per reading workshop

On the free plan, a reading workshop holds a single story. Moiki tells you the moment you try to add a second: the add button gives way to the subscription link, with the reason.

The refusal comes when the story enters the workshop, not at launch. So you never put a whole workshop together only to have it turned down at the last moment. Writing and collaborative writing workshops are not affected.

What a project is

A project is a session launched with your class. You can prepare your workshop and your class as much as you like. Nothing is used up as long as the session has not been launched. See Launch and track a session.

When a project is used up

A project is used up at the launch of the session, the moment it becomes available to your students. A confirmation warns you beforehand, so that no project is ever used up without your knowing.

The confirmation, before the project is used up.

Reading and writing count separately. Launching your reading project leaves your writing project untouched, and the other way round.

Note

Deleting a workshop you have already launched does not give the project back. It is counted at the launch of a session with your students.

After the launch

Once a project is launched, everything carries on as normal:

• your students finish their session,
• you look at their work and their results,
• nothing is deleted,
• the project of the other kind stays available, if it has not been launched yet.

Going further

Once your project of one type is launched, the launch window of a second workshop of the same type gives way to a reminder, Your writing project is already launched for instance, with a Subscribe button.

The reminder, when the free project is already launched.

Moving to ECO lifts the project limit. You can then:

• launch as many sessions as you like, including the same workshop with another class,
• gather several stories in a single reading workshop,
• run a collaborative writing workshop, reserved for the paid plans (see A collaborative writing workshop),
• import the workshops published by other teachers, on top of the official templates,
• allow your students to create their own stories.

See Plans and billing.

A new free project is waiting for you at the start of every school year.
