You can add a session from your calendar or from its course page. Every session belongs to a course, and SmartCookie adds that course’s students to the session.

Before you start

  • You need a course: Create a course.
  • In 1 to 1 lessons and Group lessons, the course needs at least one student.

Add a session from the calendar

  1. In the menu on the left, click Calendar.
  2. Click Create, at the top right.
  3. Choose Session. A small window opens for the new session.
Weekly calendar with the Create button open and the Session option, numbered 2 and 3

The calendar's Create menu

  1. In Select a course, choose the session’s course.
  2. Choose the date.
  3. Choose the start time and the end time.
  4. Click Add session. The session shows up in your calendar.
New session window with the course, the date, the time and the Add session button, numbered 4 to 7

Window to add a session

Do you want the session to repeat every week? Read Repeat a session (recurring sessions) before you click Add session. A shortcut: in the Day or Week view, click the start time and, without letting go, drag to the end time. The new session window opens. In the Month view, double-click a day.

Add a session from the course page

  1. In Courses, open the course.
  2. In the Sessions tab, click Add session. The course is already chosen.
  3. Choose the date and time.
  4. Click Add session. The session shows up in the course list and in your calendar.

If the session clashes with another one

An event is something in your calendar with no students, like the dentist. If you already have a session or an event at that time, you’ll see Calendar conflict detected. Click View to see what it clashes with. Then change the time, or click Add with conflicts to add it anyway.

If you can’t add the session

  • You see No student enrolled here: the course has no students. Click the button next to it (View group). In the Students tab, click Add student.
  • You see Copy and send your link to your students so that they can book: it’s a Meetings 1 to 1 course. In this type, each booking creates its session.
  • It’s an Open doors course and you can’t add the session: in the session window, fill in Max participants with the number of places.

What you can’t do

  • You can’t choose which of the course’s students go to a session. The session includes every student in the course.
  • You can’t add a Zoom link yet. To add a Google Meet link: Add a Google Meet link to a session.
