Events
Events is a different way of providing training to the students. Unlike Courses and Itineraries, Events cover the need to complete your learning plan with non-consumable content, external to the platform itself. What does this mean?
Usually the training content (written lessons, evaluable questionnaires, videos...) is completed with other more direct and simultaneous activities: a face-to-face event with the tutor, an online master class with videochat, a webinar... The new Events feature is aimed at this type of actions, from now on you will be able to create these events through the LMS platform itself and manage all its features: event data, support materials, chat room, attendance register...
These new Events created will be displayed in the Learner Portal, the same way as the Courses and Pathways. There the student will be able to register or check his progress, and access all the data, materials and useful links.
The new Events tool is mainly intended for users with Trainer role. They will be the ones who, in addition to providing the online or face-to-face training, will use this tool to access the list of students and register their attendance and participation. But other roles, such as Administrator, are responsible for the creation and management of these Events.
