The Course Room

Owned by Gerard Ross
Last updated: Mar 10, 2020

Introduction

The Course Room is an open session dedicated to your course. It provides you and your participants with a ‘launch point’ for classes or impromptu meetings.

The default course room is available to anyone and participants can join this session at any time by selecting the link. Instructors don't have to be present for participants to join the Course room session. For this reason, it is recommended that you create a new, separate, supervised session for each event you’ll be hosting.

Note: If you don't see or can't open the Course Room, your administrator has turned it off, or the module co-ordinator has ‘locked’ the Course Room.
