Add Access to Online Training in the Parent Portal

Share

Take things to the next level and enrich your students' experience through online learning with virtual classes or shared video tutorials! Use a virtual class link or add a resource to a Class record and the information can be shared through the Parent Portal.

• Share online training materials with the students currently enrolled in the class, or scheduled to be in the class for a makeup.
• Use a URL link you create using a video-sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo.
• Create a virtual class with a video conferencing service like Zoom or Google Hangouts and share it with your class.

Add a URL Link on the Class Summary Tab

1. Select the class you want to add virtual learning to.
2. Go to the Summary (tab).
   • Enter a Virtual Class/Video Link URL. Any URL can be added here. Consider offering students a 'one-stop-shop' where they can access all class materials, e.g., videos of choreography, music files, and links to virtual classes by adding all of the information to a Google document. Another option would be to add the links to a page on your website and make the page private. 
   • Enter optional text Virtual Class/Video Link Text. You can opt to add text to display instead of the link itself, e.g., "Click here for choreography" or "Join the online class". If no text is entered, the URL will display.
3. Click Save Changes. The URL and display text is added to the Class record.
