In online learning platforms, a session is a planned class or meeting where trainers and learners come together to learn, either live or at different times. Scheduling a new session means setting a time for these classes or discussions to happen. As a result, it further helps in keeping the course organized.
By scheduling sessions, trainers can also keep track of who attends and how learners are progressing. This way, courses run smoothly, learners stay interested, and learning goals are met on time. Knowing how to schedule a session is important for creating a clear and engaging learning experience.
Through this documentation, we will guide you on how you can schedule a new session in the course.
