Meetings and attendance
Schedule online or in-person classes, repeat them weekly, send reminders, let students join with one tap, take attendance and share the recording.
On this page
Meetings are your live classes, online or in a room. Students get an invitation, reminders before it starts and a Join button that opens the call. Kelasi keeps attendance for you.
Schedule a meeting
Open a course, then Classwork › Meetings › Schedule meeting, or use Meetings in the top bar.
Title and time
Give it a title, pick the date, start time and duration.
Repeat
Just once, or Every week for a number of weeks. Kelasi shows the summary, for example “Every Monday, 12 sessions, the last on Jan 26”, and creates every session at once.
Where
Online: paste a Zoom, Google Meet or Teams link. You can paste the whole invitation text; Kelasi keeps just the link. Add the passcode if there is one; it’s copied for students when they join.
In person: type the place, such as Room 3 or the library.
Who's invited
The whole class, or choose students.
Reminders and notice
Pick reminders (10 minutes, 1 hour or 1 day before), and whether to Tell students now. Add an agenda if you like. Choose Schedule meeting.
On the day
- Students can join 10 minutes before the start. The meeting page counts down, then shows Join meeting.
- As host, choose Start meeting (or Start now to open early). The page shows who has joined.
- Students can reply Going, Maybe or Can’t make it beforehand, with a reason.
Attendance
Students who join through Kelasi are marked Attended, or Joined late if they came after the start. Everyone else is Missed once the meeting ends. For in-person classes, or students who joined some other way, use Mark present in the People list.
Choose End meeting to close it. After that students can’t join and attendance is final, though you can still mark people present by hand.
Attendance feeds each student’s page in the course and the Attendance column on report cards.
After the meeting
Under After the meeting, paste a recording link and write notes: what you covered, homework, links for anyone who missed it. Students see them on the meeting page, with a Watch recording button.
Change or cancel
Edit a session to change it; changes apply to that session only, and you can tell students about the change. Cancel sends students a notice with your reason. Cancelled meetings stay listed for the record until you delete them.
Defaults for the organization
Admins can set the starting reminders, and whether new meetings are announced, in Settings › Notifications. Teachers can still change them per meeting.
