Create a classroom slot

  • Updated

Creating a classroom slot requires having added a classroom to a path.

Once your classroom slot is created, you can register users to that slot.

The following users can create, edit and delete a classroom slot:

  • Platform admins
  • Main author of the path
  • Co-authors of the path
  • Admins, authors and coaches of the owner group of the path
  • Path session main instructor
  • Path session co-instructors
  • Admins, authors and coaches of the owner group of the path session

Trainers can only edit a classroom slot.

Set up a virtual classroom

We do not host online meetings on the platform. To use that slot, an online meeting must be created beforehand in a dedicated application (GoToWebinar, AnyMeeting, Webex, Zoom, etc.). If you have the Live Training Solution, you can integrate with Zoom.

In the editor interface of a path session with a classroom:

  1. In the list of steps, at the bottom right of a classroom, click Add a slot.
  2. If needed, change the Title.
  3. If needed, change the Start and End dates, and theĀ Timezone.
    • To change the time zone, click the value on the right ofĀ TimezoneĀ and select a new one (this is only for you; users will see the date and time in their own time zone). If you plan to invite learners in different time zones, see Find out more about time zones.
    • The fieldĀ Reported durationĀ is automatically computed as the difference between the start date and end date if it is lower than 4 hours, or the number of days multiplied by 7 hours if it is greater (weekend are taken into account). You can click on the field to edit it manually.
  4. Below Timezone, check thatĀ Virtual is selected.
  5. InĀ URL, enter the link to the meeting
    • The link will be visible only to enrolled users in the homepage of the path session. Instructors and administrators can access the link in the session settings page.
  6. At the bottom right, clickĀ Save.

After the classroom slot is successfully created, enrolled users receive a notification 5 minutes before the start of the virtual classroom.

The displayed duration of the classroom slot is displayed as the difference between the start and end date. If the duration is lower than 24 hours, we display a number of hours (rounded to the upper integer). If the duration is higher than 24 hours, we display a number of days (rounded to the upper integer).

Set up an on site classroom

In the editor interface of a path session with a classroom:

  1. In the list of steps, at the bottom right of a classroom, click Add a slot.
  2. If needed, change the Title.
  3. If needed, change the Start and End dates, and theĀ Timezone.
    • To change the time zone, click the value on the right ofĀ TimezoneĀ and select a new one (this is only for you; users will see the date and time in their own time zone). If you plan to invite learners in different time zones, see Find out more about time zones.
    • The fieldĀ Reported durationĀ is automatically computed as the difference between the start date and end date if it is lower than 4 hours, or the number of days multiplied by 7 hours if it is greater (weekend are taken into account). You can click on the field to edit it manually.
  4. Below Timezone, select On site.
  5. InĀ Location, enter the physical address of the onsite classroom.
  6. At the bottom right, clickĀ Save.

After the classroom slot is successfully created, learners receive a notification one day before the start of the onsite classroom.

The displayed duration of the classroom slot is displayed as the difference between the start and end dates. If the duration is lower than 24 hours, we display a number of hours (rounded to the upper integer). If the duration is higher than 24 hours, we display a number of days (rounded to the upper integer).

Create additional classroom slots

Once the session is published, session instructors can add new slots for the classroom.

Platforms with the Live Training Solution can add unlimited slots. Other platforms can add a maximum of two slots.

  1. At the top of the homepage, click Paths.
  2. On the right of a path, click Edit pen.svg.
  3. In the list of steps, at the bottom right of a classroom, clickĀ Add a slot.
  4. Choose between a virtual or on site classroom.
