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.

title: Run a Live Class
|
|
description: Schedule a live session on a Live class course, set the join link, time, and timezone, and let ClassroomIO remind students and send a calendar invite.
|

import { Callout } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/callout';

import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';
|
|
|
|
A **Live class** course runs around scheduled sessions you host on your own video tool (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams).
|
|
ClassroomIO handles everything around the session: the join link, the schedule, automatic reminders, a calendar invite,
|
|
and a one-click way for students to join.
|
|
|
|
## Set the course type
|
|
|
|
Set the course type to **Live class** in the course's **Settings** tab. See [Course Types](/docs/course-types)
|
|
for what each type does.
|
|
|
|
## Schedule the session
|
|
|
|
Each session lives on a lesson. Create the lesson for what you'll run live, then open its **Settings** tab and fill in
|
|
the **Live session** section.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
|
|
<Step>
|
|
### Create a lesson to run live
|
|
|
|
Add a lesson to the course for the session you'll hold live (for example, the webinar topic). See
|
|
[Creating Your First Course](/docs/create-first-course#adding-lessons) for adding lessons.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step>
|
|
### Add the join link
|
|
|
|
In **Join link (Zoom, Meet, etc.)**, paste the meeting URL students will use to join.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step>
|
|
### Set the date and time
|
|
|
|
Pick the **Date and time** of the session.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step>
|
|
### Choose the timezone
|
|
|
|
Set the **Timezone** for the session. Reminders and the calendar invite display the time in this timezone, so students
|
|
always see when the session starts in the zone you intend, regardless of where you or they are located.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step>
|
|
### Save the session
|
|
|
|
Click **Save session**.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
## What students get
|
|
|
|
Once a session is scheduled, enrolled students automatically receive:
|
|
|
|
- **A calendar invite when they enroll.** The welcome email for a Live class course attaches a calendar invite (`.ics`)
|
|
for the next session, so students can add it to their calendar right away.
|
|
- **Reminder emails.** One about 24 hours before and one about 1 hour before the session, each with the join link. The
|
|
24-hour reminder also includes the calendar invite. Once added, the calendar reminds the student on its own.
|
|
- **A Join session button.** On their **LMS Home**, students see a **Join session** button on the course while a session
|
|
is upcoming, which opens the join link directly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the course content sidebar, a live-session lesson shows a red live (broadcast) icon, so you and your students can spot
|
|
it at a glance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<Callout type="info">
|
|
Reminders are sent to enrolled students only. The times shown in emails and the calendar invite use the **Timezone** you
|
|
set on the session. The welcome email, reminders, and updates all reference the same calendar event, so students never
|
|
get a duplicate on their calendar.
|
|
</Callout>
|
|
|
|
## Change the session time
|
|
|
|
If you change the **Date and time**, **Join link**, or **Timezone** of a session that students are already enrolled in,
|
|
saving asks you to confirm with **Notify students of the change?**. Choosing **Save and notify** emails every enrolled
|
|
student about the update with a fresh calendar invite that updates the existing event on their calendar instead of
|
|
creating a duplicate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<Callout type="warn">
|
|
**Save and notify** emails all enrolled students. Use it when the time or link actually changed. For a first-time
|
|
schedule there is nothing to notify, so it saves without sending.
|
|
</Callout>
|
|
|
|
## After the session
|
|
|
|
Pair the session with a post-session quiz and a certificate to round out the workflow:
|
|
|
|
- Add a graded quiz with [How to Create an Exercise](/docs/create-exercise), then use **Notify students**
|
|
to send everyone a link to take it.
|
|
- Issue completion certificates with [How to Create Certificates](/docs/certificates).
