Create/Modify Collaboration Session

Overview

Instructors create new Collaboration Sessions using the Virtual Classroom or the Chat from the Create Collaboration Session page. Instructors can schedule sessions for specific dates and times. The Create Collaboration Session page and Modify Collaboration Session page function in a similar manner. The Create Collaboration Session page opens with empty fields while the Modify Collaboration Session page opens with a session already populated.
