01
Join with academic context
Scholars register with a .edu address and add affiliation, fields, teaching interests, and public-profile preferences.
How ScholarSwap works
A course-first path from discovery to a guest class session.
ScholarSwap starts with verified scholars and concrete teaching contexts. Public discovery helps hosts find plausible expertise; private fit checks keep introductions tied to real courses.
02
Publish an offer or add a course need
A scholar can describe a course-ready guest session, or a host can name the syllabus moment where outside expertise would help.
03
Search for course fit
Hosts browse public teaching offers and opted-in profiles by topic, field, level, format, language, and materials readiness.
04
Request a fit check
A request is tied to the host course context, so the match can be evaluated before an introduction moves forward.
05
Coordinate the session
Timing, live format, recording preferences, materials boundaries, and host responsibilities are agreed before class.
06
Record the collaboration
Completed exchanges leave a concise record of the teaching collaboration — without turning the site into a public rating board.
Does this guest session belong in this course?
The useful question isn’t whether a scholar is impressive in general. It’s whether the offer fits the course level, module, timing, language, format, and materials constraints.
Public discovery, private coordination.
- Access starts from academic affiliation and .edu registration.
- Course needs can stay private working records for coordination.
- Public discovery uses only opted-in profiles and public teaching offers.
- Student-level records, grading, and classroom administration stay outside ScholarSwap.
