Section 2: Membership Plan Selection

2.1 Go to Pricing Page

🔗 https://www.virtualx.tv/pricing/

Before you can invite learners or access the VirtualX dashboard, you need to choose the right membership plan for your group or school. The first step is simple — start by visiting the Pricing Page.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Open your internet browser
   On your phone, tablet, or computer, open Google Chrome, Safari, or any browser you use.
2. Type in the address
   Go to: www.virtualx.tv/pricing
3. You’ll see 3 plan options displayed side by side:

• Free View: Limited content for individual learners
• Unlimited View: For learners joining via group invite
• Exclusive View: For schools, tutoring hubs, and learning centres

1. Look for the plan that says “Exclusive View”
   This plan will show key details such as:

• ✅ Access for up to 100 learners
• ✅ Premium support
• ✅ All subjects included
• ✅ Admin dashboard for group control

1. Click on the “Get Started” or “Join Now” button under the Exclusive View column.

Illustrative Example:

Mrs. Naidoo, the principal of KZN Leadership Academy, opens her laptop and visits the pricing page. She scrolls down and clicks the “Get Started” button under the Exclusive View plan. She’s ready to sign up her 95 learners for full access to Mathematics and Physical Sciences.

Important Tip:

Make sure you’re logged in (or ready to create an account) before moving on to checkout. You’ll be redirected to the sign-up process as soon as you select your plan.

2.2 Compare Plans (Unlimited View vs Exclusive View vs Enterprise)

When signing up on VirtualX, you’ll come across three main plan options. Each one is designed for different needs — whether you’re a single learner, a classroom, or a national education provider.

Let’s break it down in plain terms.

Plan Comparison Table

Plan Name	Free / Unlimited View	Exclusive View	Enterprise
Who it’s for	Individual learners	Schools, learning centres, tutoring hubs	Districts, government, NGOs, private edtech
Access model	Join via invite (free seat in a group)	Paid monthly for up to 100 learners	Tailor-made with thousands of users
Seats Included	1 seat per learner	100 learner seats per account	Unlimited seats (scalable on request)
Subject Access	Full (only if added to group)	Full access for all added learners	Full, plus advanced curriculum integrations
Admin Dashboard	❌ None	✅ Yes – full group control	✅ Advanced admin with multi-tier control
Support Level	❌ Self-help only	✅ Premium support via email/portal	✅ Dedicated manager + custom SLAs
Pricing	Free (covered by group)	R9,000/month (first 21 days free)	Custom – depends on organisation size
Example Use	Sipho joins via school invite	Ikusasa High signs up 100 learners	Provincial EdTech team onboards 5,000+ users

In Plain English:

• Unlimited View
  Is for learners who get invited by their teacher or school. They don’t pay anything and just log in using a link or group code.
• Exclusive View
  Is for schools or organisations who want to manage up to 100 learners in one go, with control over who joins and when. Think of this as a school license.
• Enterprise
  Is for large-scale partners like government departments, education NGOs, or private companies delivering training to hundreds or thousands of users. These plans are custom-built.

Which one should you choose?

If you are…	Go for…
A learner trying to join your school’s group	Unlimited View
A school, tutoring centre or NGO managing 10–100 learners	Exclusive View
A national organisation managing 500+ users	Enterprise

✅ Exclusive View is the sweet spot

If you’re reading this guide, you’re likely aiming to:

• Get a full-access plan
• Manage many learners
• Keep things simple and centralised

Then Exclusive View is the best option for your school or learning hub.

3.1 Navigate to Membership Checkout

🔗 https://app.virtualx.tv/membership-checkout/?level=30

Once you’ve decided to go with the Exclusive View plan for your school or organisation, the next step is to complete the checkout process. This takes just a few minutes and gives you access to everything you need to start onboarding learners.

Let’s walk you through it.

Step-by-Step: Go to the Membership Checkout Page

Step 1: Open the Direct Link

On your phone, tablet or computer, type or click the following link:
👉 https://app.virtualx.tv/membership-checkout/?level=30

This will take you straight to the Exclusive View registration form.

Tip: Bookmark this page so you can come back to it if you need to pause and continue later.

Step 2: Confirm That You’re on the Right Page

You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see the following message:

“You have selected the Exclusive View membership level.”

Below that, it will show:

• Plan name: Exclusive View
• Number of Seats: 100 learners
• Trial Period: 21 Days Free
• Monthly Price: R9,000 (after trial)

Step 3: Account Information

If you’re new to VirtualX:

• Fill in your First Name, Last Name, Email Address, and create a password
• Enter your organisation/school name
• Make sure your email is correct — this becomes your admin login!

If you’re already registered:

• Click “Log In” at the top of the page
• Enter your email and password to continue

What This Page Does

This checkout page sets up your parent account – the one that will:

• Own the Exclusive View licence
• Manage learner invitations and codes
• Access the admin dashboard
• Control all group settings

It’s like registering the principal or programme coordinator as the account holder.

Real Example

Mrs. Kgatle from Future Leaders Academy clicks the checkout link, fills in her details, and submits the form. She immediately receives confirmation that her Exclusive View trial is active, and she’s directed to the dashboard where she can invite 100 learners.

Once you’ve completed this step, you’re officially inside the system — ready to manage your group, share your invite code, and kick off your learner onboarding.

3.2 Enter Account Info (Admin, School Name, Contact Details)

This step is where you create your group leader (admin) account — the person who will manage learners, invitations, and settings for your Exclusive View membership.

You’ll be filling in a short form with your school or organisation details, so make sure the information is accurate and matches your institution.

Step-by-Step: Complete the Admin Registration Form

Once you’re on the checkout page (/membership-checkout/?level=30), follow these instructions carefully:

1. First Name & Last Name

Enter your own name as the admin or school representative.

Example: “Lebo” as first name, “Molefe” as surname.

2. School or Organisation Name

Type the name of your:

• School (e.g. “Zenzele High School”)
• Tutoring centre (e.g. “Soweto Science Hub”)
• NGO or learning initiative (e.g. “EduThrive Foundation”)

This will be used to tag your group on the platform and appear in the dashboard.

3. Email Address

Use an active email address you check often.

This becomes your official VirtualX login and the place where you’ll receive:

• Account confirmation
• Group codes
• Learner join requests
• Support replies

Avoid using shared or student emails. Stick to your admin or official school email.

4. Password

Create a secure password (minimum 8 characters).

Use something strong but memorable — like Ubuntu!2024 or EduGroup#321

You’ll use this password every time you log in to the Admin Dashboard.

5. Optional Contact Info

Some forms may ask for:

• Phone number
• Province or region

This helps the VirtualX team offer support if needed and group you under the correct district or educational body.

6. Confirm Details and Submit

Before clicking “Join” or “Submit”, double-check that:

• Your email address is correct
• Your school name is spelled properly
• You’ve accepted the terms (tick box)

Then go ahead and complete the registration!

Last Name	Your surname (e.g. Mokoena)
School/Org Name	Official name (e.g. “Khanyisa College”)

Example in Practice

Mr. Ndlovu, a coordinator from the Gauteng STEM Academy, enters his personal name, academy name, official admin email, and sets a password. Within seconds of clicking Submit, he receives a welcome email with access to the VirtualX Admin Dashboard and group invitation tools.

3.3 Group Account Information Summary

Once you’ve submitted your registration form and selected the Exclusive View membership, you’ll land on a confirmation screen that summarises your group account details.

This screen acts like a receipt + control panel preview, letting you know that your admin account is live and that you’re now the Group Owner for your organisation’s Exclusive View access.

What You’ll See on the Confirmation Page:

Here’s a breakdown of the important items shown:

1. Membership Plan Confirmation

You’ll see a message like this:

• Your first payment of R9,000/month will only be processed after 21 days

2. Total Seats Included

You’ll see a note like:

“This membership includes 100 learner seats that you can share via group code or invite link.”

That means:

• You can onboard up to 100 learners
• You choose who joins
• Learners don’t pay anything — they’re covered by your account

3. Your Group Code

This is a unique alphanumeric code that looks like:
491F85E963

This code is the key to:

• Allow learners to register under your account
• Convert their account into Unlimited View with full access
• Automatically count them under your 100-seat allocation

Tip: You can share this code directly or send invite links with it embedded.

4. Direct Join Link (With Group Code Embedded)

You will also get a URL like:
https://app.virtualx.tv/membership-checkout/?level=28&pmprogroupacct_group_code=491F85E963

Learners who use this link:

• Skip payment
• Get immediate access
• Are added to your group

You can share this on WhatsApp, email, Google Classroom, or printed notices.

5. Email Invites Option

You’ll see a form or message saying:

“Invite new members via email — one per line.”

Paste in your learners’ email addresses and they’ll receive a personalised invitation to join your group automatically.

6. Manage Group Access

You’ll now have access to your admin page:
🔗 https://app.virtualx.tv/manage-group/?pmprogroupacct_group_id=…

From this page, you can:

• View active learners
• Remove or replace users
• Regenerate your group code (if needed)

Example in Practice

Ms. Molele from Ubuntu STEM Academy sees her group code, copies the direct invite link, and pastes it into her school WhatsApp group. Within 10 minutes, 30 learners have signed up and started accessing lessons. She monitors who’s joined using her Manage Group dashboard.
