Conference Blocks
With Conference Blocks, you can set specific conference links for different classes and institutions, even if they use the same Lesson.
To add a Conference Block into your Lesson:
1. Click on the Conference Block button to begin creating your conference link. This will add a conference block into your lesson.
2. Add a title, date & time, description and the conference link for your conference block. Once you're done, click Save.
- Conference Title: Indicating the main topic or purpose of the virtual meeting.
- Date & Time: The specific day, date, and time when the conference will take place.
- Description: A brief explanation of what the conference will cover. It may include the discussion topics, key speakers, and any expectations from participants before, during, or after the session.
- Conference Link: Link used to join the virtual conference room
3. Once your Lesson is complete, make sure it's in the Active Curriculum. Click on Link to Timetable. Choose the appropriate class to link your lesson to.
4. Once you have selected a class, click on Choose date and conference link.
5. On the "Set Conference Link" page, click on the Zoom icon to auto-generate a Zoom URL for the conference block (only available for BeED-Zoom subscribers). You can also insert URLs for other online conferencing tools of your choice! Once you're done, click on Save.
