Regardless of if you are training your new incoming students or students that have been trained on SS-

each student.

their own time via the link, you will need to set up Learning Activities for each session. For example, Mrs.
Smith is going to send out a link to 50 of her students and live stream 100 of her other students. She’d set
up a Learning Activity called “Mrs. Smith’s remote learners” and another Learning Activity called “Mrs.
Smith’s Live Stream”
