Creating and Managing Sessions

Create, schedule, and manage lab sessions for your students.

A session is how you deliver a lab to your students for a set period of time. From the Sessions page, you can see your active and past sessions, manage them, and create new ones. To understand how sessions relate to labs, pages, and activities, see Content Structure.

Opening the Sessions Page

  1. In the left sidebar, under Teacher's Desk, select Sessions.
Sessions overview with active and past session sections

Each card in Active Sessions shows:

  • A thumbnail of the lab's circuit or content.
  • The session title and a short description.
  • The date range during which the session is open.
  • Three quick-access icons on the right: a clipboard, a graduation cap, and a gear, which link to session-specific actions.
