After creating your account and logging in, you will be taken to the session dashboard.
This is where you will be creating sessions. These sessions are the online teaching and learning space your students will connect to. You can create as many sessions as you need, but we suggest creating at least one session for each student group you teach. Doing so will make it easier to manage their recordings and written responses later on.
You also have access to Teaching resources where you can create exercises, record audio or video materials, share these materials with your teacher colleagues, upload and store your teaching resources. The teaching resources area is explained in more detail in a separate help article here: Teaching resources.
