Class Defaults

Modified on Thu, 18 Jan, 2024 at 4:25 PM

Class defaults can be used to set defaults for users when creating a class or can be used to enforce certain settings.

Creating Defaults

The Class Defaults tab within Settings can be used by Setting Administrators and Tenant Owners to create default values for several options that are used when creating a new class. Defaults can be set for the following:

Allow Chat - determines if chat is allowed in the classroom
Use Integrated Conferencing - determines which conferencing tool will be used
Mask Student Names - allows only the student's first name and last initial to be displayed in the student interface
Allow Student Emails to Instructor- allows the student's Request Help option to trigger an email to instructors in any On-Demand class and Instructor-Led classes that are not In Session
Automatically Send Invite Emails - determines if invites to students are sent automatically

The defaults defined here will be the default values available to users as they create a new class.

Creating Organizational Policies for New Classes

Organizational policies can also be set by deselecting the Allow User to Override? checkbox available on each default. Unless changed, users creating classes will be able to change the default values specified here. Any default that users are not allowed to override will impact existing classes, including those already in progress.
