Rotimi Best 81294a47f9 feat: live class sessions, CE workflow, and docs (#683)
Adds live-class session scheduling on lessons (join link, date/time,
timezone) with automatic 24h and 1h reminder emails plus a calendar
invite (.ics), a time-change notification with an updated invite, a
teacher-authored welcome email and session invite on enrollment, and a
"Notify students" quiz nudge.

LMS gets an upcoming live-sessions card and Join buttons, plus a
reusable live-session card component (3 states) in @cio/ui with a
Storybook story. The sidebar content tree now reflects sequential
progression locking like the content list, and the course-completion
confetti regression is fixed.

Org-based emails no longer reference ClassroomIO by name. Docs add
live-class, welcome-email, and course-progression guides, expand the
certificates guide (design, signatures, corrected labels), move
plan-required callouts to the top, flatten how-to-guides to the docs
root with redirects, and add screenshots. Includes an add-docs-image
skill.

A **course** in ClassroomIO is a container for lessons, exercises, people, and settings. Students enroll into a course to access its content in the LMS. This page summarizes how courses work for admins. For step-by-step setup, start with [Creating Your First Course](/docs/create-first-course).
## Course lifecycle
| State | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| **Draft / unpublished** | Not visible in Explore or on the public landing page; open self-enrollment is blocked, but invite links still work |
| **Published** | Live on your academy; visible in Explore and on the public landing page |
| **Deleted** | Soft-deleted; no longer appears anywhere in the app |
Publishing makes a course discoverable. Combine publish state with **Allow New Students**, price, and invites to control who can actually join. See [How Course Enrollment Works](/docs/course-enrollment).
## Key settings
| Setting | Where | Effect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Published** | Course **Settings** | Turns the course on for your academy |
| **Allow New Students** | Course **Settings** | Public **Enroll** on the landing page |
| **Price** | **Landing page** editor | Free vs paid enrollment |
| **Course type** | Course **Settings** | Changes nav, compliance, and public access behavior |
<Callout type="info" title="Course type changes more than a label">
Self-paced, Live class, Compliance, and Public types change what admins and students see in the app. See [Course Types](/docs/course-types) for when to use each.
</Callout>
## Admin areas inside a course
When you open a course from the **Courses** list, the sidebar gives you:
| Area | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| **Content** | Lessons, sections, exercises, media |
| **People** | Members, invites, pending students |
| **Settings** | Publish, Allow New Students, course type, links |
| **Landing page** | Public page prospects see before enrolling |
| **Compliance** | Appears for **Compliance** courses; tracking and bulk actions |
| **Marks** | Appears for **Live class** courses; grading |
## People and enrollment
The **People** tab lists everyone in the course group. Members appear when they enroll or when you add them from **Add people**. Email-only invites show as **Pending** until the student signs in.
Enrollment paths (public, invite link, admin assignment, paid) are documented in [How Course Enrollment Works](/docs/course-enrollment). For sending invites, see [How to Invite Students](/docs/invite-students).
## What students see
After enrolling, students open the course from **Home** or **My Learning** in the [Student Dashboard](/docs/student-dashboard). Published courses they have not joined yet may appear in **Explore**.
