Creating Lesson Sections

For each individual lesson, you can create a section that can include either a Virtual Classroom or a Traditional Classroom, Assignment/Homework, or just an empty section.

Click on + Add new section to add a section to your already existing lesson.

  • Clicking on Empty section will just add an empty section to a lesson. The Empty Section allows you to attach different materials for your students to access.
  • Clicking on Virtual Classroom will add a Virtual Classroom to this lesson. The assigned teacher can open that virtual classroom up to 60 minutes prior to the start time specified in the schedule. See more information on how to open a Virtual Classroom from your Dashboard.
  • Clicking on Traditional Classroom will allow you to add an offline, physical classroom session to the lesson. You can then also modify the date and time of that session through the course schedule.
  • Clicking on Assignment / Homework will add an assignment/homework for your students to take and work on (only during the scheduled time).

  • Once you have made your desired changes, click on Save changes in order to save your progress. When you are finished creating the sections you need for your lesson, you can attach content such as files, quizzes, or notes for your students to read. You can do that by selecting the appropriate option from the resources dropdown menu in the header of each section. You can also rename your sections as necessary by using the pencil icon next to the section’s title. Once done, click on the tick next to the new name to submit it, or press the X to cancel and revert to the previous name.
