How to add recurring live classes to your curriculum in New Zenler

Live classes play a vital role in improving the value of your online course. The ability to interact with your students Live and train them on the go can be one of the best and most efficient methods to transfer the knowledge to the group. It would also help you get your students to learn and engage with the curriculum in a better way. New Zenler is the best option when it comes to Live classes as it supports Lives directly on the course curriculum. You don't have to create a separate Zoom or Google Meet Live session and send the link to your students. Everything can happen within the course curriculum. Let's check out how you can set up a recurring live class for your curriculum in New Zenler.

Setting up the live class

The first step to adding a live session to your curriculum is to configure it. You can do this in two ways- Either configure the live class first and then add it to the curriculum or create it within the curriculum. Both ways lead to the same objective that is creating a live class under "Live" in New Zenler.

To create a live class, you need to click on the "Live" option in the admin console and then Select "Live Class".

You can then create a live class by clicking "Create New Live Class"

You can read our post about creating a recurring live webinar and follow the steps to completely set up a live class as both webinar and live class is similar to set up.

Another advantage is that you can also add pricing to this live class and then sell it to the public while your students will be able to join for free as it would be included in the course curriculum.

Adding the live class to the course curriculum

Once you set up the live class under "Live", you can add it to the course curriculum under any lesson.

Step 1: Go to the dashboard and select the course to which you wanna add the live class.

Step 2: Go to the curriculum tab within the course and select the lesson to which you plan to add the live class. You can create a new lesson if it needs to be separated from the existing content.

Step 3: Click on the "Live" option from the contents section and then select the live class that you have configured before.

You can also create a live from here and it would work the same.

Once you add the live class to the curriculum, you can preview the curriculum by clicking the "eye" icon to see how it looks.

The theme of the button can be adjusted under "Branding" section in site settings.

Note: If you don't have the schedule for the Live class ready, you can choose the "Schedule Later" option while adding the live class to the curriculum and configure it later.

Starting the live class.

You can start the live class on time or 15 minutes before the scheduled time.

To start the class, simply go to the course curriculum and then click on the "Start Live" button besides the live class to start the class.

Or you can start the class normally by going to the "Live" option and then click on "Start Class" to begin the live session.

Zenler will open a zoom meeting where you can do the live class. All your students will be able to join to the class through the course curriculum.

For the students, they will have a "Join Zoom" button in the course curriculum, which will open Zoom for them to join the live session or they can join from browser.
