Hey Charles!
First I’ll say, if you need a better explanation after this, I’d be more than happy to do a Zoom.
Event: This is the main ILT template. When you create it, you might call it a meeting or relabel it to be a content type that makes sense to your org. Event and meeting are fairly interchangeable. The Event is the “thing”
Meeting: Yes, the date you see in the Meeting column of the content interface is a date an event is scheduled for and the date attendees expect to have instruction. If you only have one event, you only see one meeting on the content interface.
If you create more than one meeting, you have created a session.
Primary Session: The primary session is the session that has the next available enrollment date for a learner to use. The primary session is not static.
Session: If you plan to offer multiple sessions of a course or webinar, you can create separate sessions with unique start and end dates. It’s essentially a copy of the whichever session you copy from. Note that sessions are independent from each other and updating one doesn’t necessarily update any other session.
Does that help? If not, let me know and we can talk thought it. :)
@amberkleven I am printing your words. Thanks so much. You said. “If you create more than one meeting, you have created a session.” and that resonates. I signed up for Dov’s live online class this Friday to learn more. I am looking forward to it. You are awesome. CZ
Wonderful! Another quick distinction is you can make a copy of an ILT, it would just then not be nested under the other sessions in the content interface. That is also a feature of sessions-- they all exist in one place in the interface.
Good call on attending FPT, too. You know Dov is excellent and will round out your understanding with concrete examples.
Take care!
