Introduction to Session Types

Updated at October 7th, 2025

Table of Contents

Each Page in a program can contain Sessions with 4 different Session Types, each with different properties and settings. The Session Types are:

  • Virtual Session - participants attend a virtual session
  • In Person Session - participants attend a face-to-face session
  • Hybrid Session - participants can attend this session either online or face-to-face
  • Group Session - having been divided into groups, participants must attend one of multiple group sessions at a specific date and time.

 

 

Session Section Settings

For Sessions, participants must attend a session (for example a webinar or face to face training day) at a specific date and time. There are several additional settings for a Due Date section:

Completion Rule

This setting define when a participant is considered to have completed this section. The options are:

Auto-complete at session time + required learning (default)

In this case, as soon as the session end time is in the past, all participants will be considered complete for this section (assuming they have also done any required activities that are also included in the section).

For example, if a webinar finishes on 10 May at 11am, and there are no additional activities in the section, then all participants in the program will be “complete” at 11:01 am.

Mark attendance + required learning

In this case, attendance at a session must be marked off. Each participant must be marked as attended or absent. Absent participants will never be complete for that section. When enabling this setting, a ‘Mark Attendance’ button will be displayed to Facilitators and Coordinators in that section.

Flexible attendance (mark attendance or watch video) + required learning

In this case, completion of the section can be achieved by:

Attending the session, and having your attendance at the session marked (either manually, or automatically via the Zoom integration)

Watching a recording of the session which can be uploaded by Program Coordinators after the live session is complete.

Session Date, Time, Duration

Set the session date, start time and duration.

Location, Address, Map URL

Optional.

If your session is taking place in a physical location, enter the location name, address, and a Google Map URL to help participants find where they need to go.

Facilitator

Select the session Facilitator. You may select more than one. The Facilitator list is populated from the program facilitators and coordinators in the Class List.

Webinar

If your session is virtual, enable the Webinar toggle. This will allow you to enter the webinar link and password (optional).

Reminders

Create email reminders to send to participants to remind them that the session is starting soon. Reminders can be sent hours or days before the session starts.
