Run a live or hybrid class

Schedule sessions with meeting links, bring learners in and keep attendance for each session.

  1. 1

    Open the class

    Choose Classes and open your class. Its tabs include Overview, Learners, Curriculum, Calendar, Activities, Grading and Gradebook; you see only the tabs your role allows, and Overview, Grading and Gradebook stay hidden while the class is a draft.

  2. 2

    Schedule sessions

    On the Calendar tab, choose Create Event. Enter the Event Title, Start Date, Start Time, End Date and End Time, and paste the Zoom, Meet or Teams link in the Event Description. To repeat the session, choose Daily or Weekly under Repeat, then under Repeat Ends set the Number of Sessions or a Repeat Until date; the date and time fields then describe the first session.

  3. 3

    Bring learners in

    On the Learners tab, choose Add Existing Members. This needs permission to manage the class’s learners, which the Instructor role does not include.

  4. 4

    Take attendance

    Open the session from the calendar and turn on Track Attendance. Mark each learner Present, Absent or Excused Absence, or use Mark Remaining Present (…) for everyone not yet marked, add a note if needed, and choose Save Attendance.

  5. 5

    Review attendance

    The Attendance view on the Calendar tab lists every session with its attendance status, and the Attendance view on the Learners tab shows each learner’s totals.
