Meeting

A Meeting is a live session. The course does not host it — it schedules it with the provider and gives the learner a way in.

The meeting editor: provider, topic, agenda, start time, duration and time zone fields.

Once it is scheduled, the activity carries the meeting id, the join link for learners and, for the organizer, a separate start link — plus a passcode when the provider issues one.

Steps

  1. Create a meeting with Zoom, a topic, an agenda, a start an hour from now and a 60-minute duration.
  2. Save, reopen, and confirm the join link exists.
  3. Change the start time and the duration, and confirm the change reaches the provider.
  4. Switch a meeting to Teams.
  5. As a learner, open the activity and use the join link.
  6. Set the time zone to something other than your own and check the displayed time.

What to check

  • The time the learner sees matches the time zone that was set — this is the field most likely to be wrong.
  • Rescheduling updates the existing session instead of creating a second one.
  • The learner gets the join link, never the organizer’s start link.
  • A passcode, when there is one, is shown to the learner.

Where it usually breaks

  • Timezone drift between the editor, the learner view and the provider.
  • The join link disappearing after an edit.
  • A duration in hours being read as minutes.
