This article will cover the "General" tab of the "Class Details" page. The "General" tab will automatically load once you navigate to a classroom's "Class Details" tab--it's the default tab that will be shown. Below is a screenshot of an example classroom's "General" tab:
The below list will cover all the features you see on this page. Note that some features might not appear for you, due to your system role or your organization's settings.
- Open Classroom - This button will take you directly to lobby of your classroom via a new browser tab.
-
Copy Link - This button will copy the classroom's authenticated link to your clipboard. An "authenticated link", as opposed to a "guest link", does not allow for anonymous classroom access: users will need to log into our system and also be on the roster.
Note: If your organization has an LMS integration, it's possible users are expected to access Engageli through your LMS platform and not via "authenticated links". Speak with your LMS admin if you have questions. - Reset Link - This button will regenerate the guest links associated with the classroom. That is, it will make the current guest links invalid and create new ones. This affects both the "Instructor Guest Link" and the "Learner Guest Link". This mechanism is useful in scenarios where a guest link was distributed to uninvited users. For security: guest links not used for 12 months will automatically reset.
- Instructor Guest Link - This button will copy the Instructor guest link to your clipboard. This link is intended to be given to visiting staff members, as no login process is required. Users using this link will initially join the class under a TA role, but can switch to Instructor role from the 3-dots menu once inside the classroom. This button is only available to Super Admins.
- Learner Guest Link - This button will copy the Learner guest link to your clipboard. This link is intended to be given to visiting learners, as no login process is required.
- Archive Class - This button will flag the classroom as being Archived. Archiving classrooms that are no longer in use helps to reduce the number of classrooms that appear in the "Active Classes" search results. When a classroom is archived, its data will be preserved, but users will not be able to enter its Live Classroom or Playback Room. These classes can still be found by looking under the "Archived Classes" section.
- Restore Class - If the classroom is archived, this button will set it back to Active status. Note: Classrooms that have been archived for some time may require up to 48 hours to be fully restored. In such cases, a notice will appear.
- Delete Class - If the classroom is archived, this button can be clicked to delete the classroom.
- Unlock Class - Engageli is designed to only allow one user to modify a classroom's settings at a time. Although you can release your lock on the classroom simply by navigating away from it, you can immediately make this happen by clicking this button. Doing so will also send you back to the Admin Portal's home page. To learn more about the classroom lock, please see How does the classroom lock mechanism work?
- End Class & Lock - If a live session is taking place, clicking this button will end the live session and give you the lock. Warning: Ending class will cause anybody currently in the Live Classroom to be sent to the lobby.
- Download all chat - Clicking this button will download a CSV file containing all chat messages that have been sent in the classroom. This will include private messages sent between users or within tables. This tool is only available to Super Admins.
- Time-bound Class - This section allows you flag the classroom as being time-bound. That is, schedule the class to be automatically archived after x number of days. Classrooms that are time-bound will display a "Revert" button in this same area, which can be clicked to remove the flag and scheduled action.
- Allow participant accounts in these domains - This section allows you to automate the roster for learners of the classroom. If you want to allow all users who log in with a specific email domain access to the classroom, you can add that domain to this area and our system will automatically add them to the roster when they join via an authenticated link. You can also allow all email domains by clicking the "Allow All" button. Leaving this area empty of email domains removes the automation and will require all students to be manually added to the roster before they can join.
-
Copy Data - This button will trigger a pop-up window, where you can import various settings and content from another classroom. If you are a Super Admin, you'll be able to select from any classroom. If you are an Instructor, you'll only be able to select from classrooms where you are rostered as an Instructor. Below is a screenshot of this pop-up window:
We'll briefly cover the handful of items you can select for import:- Content - The contents of the selected classroom's "Content Manager" folder.
- Configuration - Configuration settings of of the selected classroom.
- Class & Table Documents - The contents of the selected classroom's "Class Documents" and "Table Documents" folders.
