4. Understanding classes

A class is a cohort of learners who complete a course together. You can have multiple classes running at the same time or running at different times.
When you create a course on OpenLearning, a featured public/open class (MOOC) is created for you. You can add an unlimited number of additional classes of different types.
To view, change, or add the classes in your course, go to Course Setup > General and scroll down to the Classes section.
Classes can be free, paid, open or private.
(see the previous section: Courses as private or open, paid or free).
Which settings are class specific?
What's the difference between closing a class and setting the course offline?

Could we have a help section on inviting students to a class please? (It's kind of important). What is the difference between sending a student an email and sending them a code? Does the invite a student by email automatically enrol them in the correct class? sorry, I have spent a few hours reading the help articles but they seem to tell me the obvious and then stop just when i need some detail. I cannot complain as it is all free and its a great platform but am getting frustrated when simple tasks don't seem very logical. many thanks
