How to create a live session including reminders, recordings and attendance list

1. Create Live Session

2. Set Reminders

3. Add Recordings

4. Manage Attendance List

 

Switch to the course in your administration area where the live session is to take place.

Add a new lesson and select "Live Session".

Once you have chosen the "Live Session" lesson type, you can immediately set a date for the meeting. This date can still be changed later.

After creating the lesson, you will find various options for configuring your live meeting in addition to the usual content field and materials:

Live Session

Through the Live Session field, you can select which connected Microsoft Teams account or Zoom account the meeting will be conducted with. Alternatively, you can configure a meeting link from any other meeting platform, such as BigBlueButton, GoToWebinar, and many more, using the "Custom URL" option.

Learn here how to link your MS Teams account with reteach.

Reminders

Set how many weeks, days, hours, and minutes before the live session start the participants should automatically receive an email reminder.

 

Recordings

Add recordings in video format to your live session before or after the meeting, which participants can watch when they reach the lesson. The videos can either be uploaded directly to reteach or embedded via URLs from YouTube or Vimeo.

 

Attendance List

Maintain an attendance list of which participants actually attended the meeting. If it is a mandatory lesson, participants can only continue with the course once their attendance has been confirmed here.

 

Once you have configured these fields and your course is set to public or private, your live session can start at the specified time as soon as you, as the host, enter the meeting room.
