Face-to-face module

Face-to-face activities are used to keep track of in-person trainings which require advance booking.

Each activity is offered in one or more identical sessions. These sessions can be given over multiple days.

Reminder messages are sent to users and their managers a few days before the session is scheduled to start. Confirmation messages are sent when users sign-up for a session or cancel.

Creating a new session

Once you have added the Face-to-face activity to a course, you can add new sessions (as a teacher in that course or an administrator) by:

• clicking on the Face-to-face activity to get to the page of "upcoming sessions"
• clicking on the "add session" link at the bottom of the table

Signing-up for a session

Students can sign-up for one of the sessions by clicking on the Face-to-face link in the course page (which brings them to the "upcoming sessions" page) and then clicking on the signup link next to the session they want.

Integration with the course page

To display the session dates directly on the course page, add the following code to the print_section() function in course/lib.php:
