Introduction
Scheduled events can be added to the structure of a course, serving as synchronous face-to-face and online virtual sessions, lessons, classes, or whatever training instance occurs at a specific time and a given virtual or physical location.
Scheduled Events are useful for:
- Live online sessions (e.g., virtual workshops, lectures, webinars, etc.)
- Physical face-to-face sessions (e.g., hands-on training, meetings, lessons, etc).
By combining self-paced e-learning content items with scheduled events, hybrid courses can be created - resulting in a comprehensive blended/hybrid learning experience.
