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. If a Lesson is created with a start date/time before the current time, it will be created as a ‘Completed’ Lesson, in which case you will be redirected to fill in a Lesson Report. If it is planned for 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 Activity > Jobs > select the Job and select the Add New Lesson button within the Lessons panel.
An example of a Job’s main summary page, with the ‘Add New Lesson’ button highlighted.
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.
An example of a Calendar view, with the Add New Lesson button highlighted.
Select the Job the Lesson will be attached to from the dropdown menu.
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’.
