Video online lesson
This video explains all the situations where you need an online lesson, both in a fully online and hybrid setting.
Create online class without Teams Course Connector
If you do not use a Teams environment with your Brightspace course, you can quickly and easily create an online class via your Teams Calendar.
- Go to Calendar in Teams
- Click on New meeting
It is not necessary to invite students or groups. You can share the link to the meeting with your students (via email/teams/Brightspace)
- Name the meeting/online class
- It is not necessary to invite students or groups
- Set the meeting/online class options
- Click Save

How do you share the link to the online class with students?
- Open the created online class again (double click on the meeting in your agenda)
- Right-click on the link that allows you to join the meeting.
- Click Copy Link.
You can share this link with the students yourself so that they can participate in the online class. For example, in a Brightspace message that you only send to your class.


Create channel meeting via Teams Course Connector
You can create a channel meeting from your Teams environment created in Brightspace. This is especially recommended if you have a Teams environment per section. Or when you have one Teams environment for all classes, but have manually created shared channels per class within it.
- In the Homepage of your course, click the link to the Teams environment associated with the course.

Your teams environment opens. If you have a team per section, create a channel for example "Online classes"
If you have one team environment for all classes, first create a "shared channel" for each class to which you add the users. You will find instructions for this here.

- When you're in the right channel, click Meet -> Schedule a meeting

- Enter a clear title and description of the class and click Send

The online class is now visible as a channel meeting. All students can participate through the channel. Questions asked in the chat will also be saved under this meeting.
