Overview
Custom sessions provide instructors with a means of generating controlled and focused conversation among their students, in a setting similar to a physical classroom. There are a number of reasons you may want to create scheduled sessions when you have a course room. Two examples are:
- Supervised sessions: When the course room is unlocked anyone can join the session at any time. Instructors don't have to be present for students to join the session. If you don't want students to join a session unsupervised, lock the course room and create scheduled sessions.
- Multiple sessions at once: If you want to run multiple sessions at the same time for students to use as virtual study room, for example, you can create multiple sessions for the different groups to join.
