Sessions & attendance
Scheduling meetings, marking who came, recordings, and what students are told when a session moves.
A session is one meeting of a cohort: a number, a title, a time, and optionally a Zoom or Google Meet link. Sessions are numbered so the schedule has an order independent of dates.
Live classes run on Zoom or Google Meet. Pick Google Meet or Zoom in a session's Meeting field and LearnFeed creates the meeting in your own account (see Zoom & Google Meet), or add any other link yourself. Students get a Join button in their portal, a reminder ten minutes before that opens the class, and an Add to calendar link. Joining from the portal marks them present.
Attendance
- Marked per session, per student. A student is PRESENT or EXCUSED; anyone unmarked is simply absent.
- Students can check themselves in if you enable it for a session.
- Attendance feeds the at-risk view, which is how you find students drifting before they disappear.
Recordings
- Upload your own recording, or paste a link to YouTube, Vimeo or Google Drive.
- Students watch recordings inside the portal.
- Recording access is set in your academy's custom agreement. Existing uploads are not deleted if access lapses.
When something changes
Students who were told a session exists are told when it moves or is cancelled. The notification says to check the schedule rather than quoting a time, because the notification is written once and read by people in different places — a formatted time would be frozen in one timezone and stale the next time it moves.
