Creating a Session

Teaching teams are able to create secure sessions and attach the required student(s) to them. Allowing sessions to only be attended by those it was intended for.

Note 1: A session must have at least once student attached to be created.

Note 2: Please be aware of the Collaborate Maintenance Schedule and avoid scheduling sessions to start at 9am on those days.

Quick steps: To Create a Collaborate Assessment Session

  1. Create Session

    A list of the students enrolled on the course will be shown
  2. Tick the student(s) to be attached to the session

    Note 3: Only 25 students will show on the page by default, click the Show All button to see all students

    Note 4: Student can be searched for using the search field above the student list. If searching by student name please search using a surname or first name – the search will not find the expected student if both are used.

  3. Click Create Session
  4. Enter a Session name

    Note 5: Sessions cannot have the same name and start date/time as another session within the course

  5. If required add a series name (this can be used to group sessions/recordings in a filter)
  6. Amend the start date and time as required
  7. Amend the End date and time as required
  8. Amend the settings as required

    Note 6: this is where you can make recordings and downloads available to students (students can only view/download recordings for sessions they are attached to – if you have permitted this)

  9. Amend the Early entry time as required
  10. Click Save

The Session will be added to the existing sessions page
