Live classes
Schedule live lessons inside a course; learners join from the lesson at the right time.
Live lessons inside the course
Schedule a Zoom or Google Meet class, or a live stream, as a lesson with its date and time. The live session sits in the curriculum next to the lessons it supports. Learners do not have to hunt for links in messages, because everything they need is in the course itself.
Reminders before it starts
Learners see what is coming next and join from the lesson when the class begins. Upcoming classes also appear on their dashboard and calendar. This helps learners plan their day, reduces late arrivals and means teachers can start on time with most of the class present.
Keep the recording
Add the recording afterwards so anyone who missed it can still catch up. Learners who were present can also watch again to revise a hard topic. The recording stays in the same lesson, so the course keeps a complete record of what was taught in each live session.
