Lessons are created within Jobs, so to get started creating a Lesson, you’ll first need to create a Job for that Lesson to be in - read more about that here. Any Lesson that is created with a start date/time before the current time, then it will be created as a ‘Completed’ Lesson, in which case you will be redirect to fill in a Lesson Report, whereas if it is planned in the future, it will be marked as ‘Planned’.

There are four ways a Lesson can be scheduled on TutorCruncher:

Creating a Lesson via a Job

First create a Job for the Lesson if you haven’t already.
Navigate to the Job’s main summary page and select the Add New Lesson button within the Lessons panel.

This will open the Create Lesson page, where you will be prompted to schedule a date & time for the Lesson and a topic title for the Lesson. You can also select which users attached to the Lesson’s Job will be attending the Lesson if necessary, and also specify a Location. Upon submission Lessons that took place in the past will be recorded and be marked as ‘Complete’, whereas future Lessons will be scheduled in the Calendar and marked as ‘Planned’.

Creating a Lesson via the Calendar

First, create a Job for the Lesson if you haven’t already.
Navigate to Activity > Calendar and click Add New Lesson.
