Webinar activity

Webinar activities can connect to live or streamed events and track attendance. This activity type can work with any live event software, including Zoom, GoToMeeting, Teams, and Hangouts. 

After attending a webinar, learners can return to Acadio to complete a quiz, exam, or assessment to validate their understanding of the concepts presented and receive a certificate of completion. Follow the steps below to add a Webinar activity to the curriculum: 

1. Navigate to the course you wish to build and select Curriculum from the course menu.
2. Click the + below the list of Curriculum items to add a new activity to the end of the course. Use the + to the right of the list of Curriculum items to add a new activity below the currently selected item or within the current section. Then, select Webinar from the available activities menu. 
3. Double-click the new webinar activity to edit it. 
4. Enter the URL for the webinar in the Join Link field. 
5. Select a Provider using the drop-down menu. If the Zoom integration is active on your instance of Acadio, select it from the menu. Otherwise, select Custom Link. 
6. Enter the date and time of the webinar into the Date/Time field. 
7. Add a title for the new webinar activity and an estimated completion time. You can also add an optional introduction. 
8. When editing an existing webinar activity, you can use the radio buttons to Update the event or create a New Event.
   IMPORTANT: Updating an event deletes all prior webinar history, including student activity. In most cases, creating a New Event is desirable as all previous history is preserved. 
   
   
   
   
9. When finished, click Save and publish your activity. 

Webinar attendance must be verified by an admin in order for the student to receive credit for the activity. Attendance can be verified using the Student Status tab on the right side of the screen. From here, admins can mark a student complete, reject the completion, or reset their activity data. Additionally, the activity can be approved from the Pending Approval tab, located in the Reporting area. 

If the same activity is used for multiple webinar events and the New Event option is selected each time, students are grouped by date. Each time the webinar activity is updated with a new date and time using New Event, a new group will be created for students who attend that session. This functionality allows existing webinar activities to be reused by editing the date and time for upcoming events.
