Step 3: Session Details

Now that you’ve completed Step 2, it’s time to customize how your sessions and content will run within your Membership or Community.

In this step, you’ll set up live sessions, self-paced modules, and enrollment options — giving you full control over how your members engage with your content and connect with you.

 

💡 Note: If you want to use your community as a discussion-only space without sessions or self-paced modules, simply click the trash icon next to the default live session created in Step 3, then click Save and Next to continue.

Enrollment Dates

Set enrollment timelines to control when clients or members can join your program.

• You can define a start and end date for enrollment.

• To allow members to join anytime, check the box next to Anytime — giving them open access without a specific deadline.

💡 Tip: The “Anytime” option is great for memberships or communities with continuous, rolling enrollment.

 

Adding Live Sessions

Host engaging live sessions such as Q&As, group calls, or community events to connect with members in real time.

To create a live session:

1. Click Create New Live Session.

2. Add your session details:

   • Session Name

   • Minimum and Maximum Participants

   • Date, Time, and Duration

If you’d like the session to repeat automatically, check Make Recurring.
A pop-up window will appear where you can set how often the session repeats and define an end date.

💡 Tip: You can add flexibility for your members by clicking Add More Time Options to create multiple time slots for the same live session.

                         

Adding Self-Paced Modules

You can also add self-paced content so members can move through material at their own speed — perfect for sharing resources, lessons, or recordings.

To create a module:

1. Click Create New Self-Paced Content.

2. Customize the module name, and if needed, add a subcategory.

3. You can delete a module at any time using the trash icon.

Next, choose how members will access the content:

• Set a release date to make content available on a specific day.

• Allow access to previous modules before moving forward.

• Or check Anytime so content is always available.

Within each module, you can:

• Upload PDFs, audio files, videos, and images.

• Add Quizzes and Forms (create new or use existing templates).

• Embed external videos from platforms like YouTube or Facebook.

• Attach files for download using the Attach a File button.

• Add descriptions and written content for added guidance.

💡 Tip: Check Enable client ability to download self-paced modules if you want to allow offline downloads.

 

 

Choose Your Video Provider

Select your preferred platform for hosting live sessions:

• Cohere Video: Use Cohere’s built-in platform for seamless, integrated video sessions.

• Zoom: Connect your Zoom account to run sessions via Zoom.

• Other Video Platform: Add your own external meeting link.

 

Customize Calendar Invitations

You can customize the message included in your calendar invitations to ensure your clients receive clear, branded, and professional session details.
This is especially useful for adding reminders, pre-session notes, or instructions.

 

Additional Options

• Enable Client Downloads: Allow members to download any self-paced materials you’ve uploaded.

• Auto Mark Session Complete: Automatically mark sessions as completed one hour after the scheduled end time.

Save and Proceed

Once you’ve set up your sessions, modules, and preferences, click Save and Next to continue.

🎉 You’ve now structured your Membership or Community with live sessions and self-paced content — ready to deliver an engaging experience to your members!
