Some words are more appropriate than others for certain situations. GoSignMeUp is flexible to handle many of these. For example, if your institution uses the word "Instructors" rather than "Teachers" you can change the word in the Terminology list.  Find the word you want on the Terminology list and click it. Now simply type in the new word.

In this example, "Teacher" was replaced with "Instructor".  Now anywhere in the site that mentions "Teachers" will now display "Instructors" instead.
