Admin guide
Set up a session, run the checks, support learners and look after their data.
Draft for testing. Nothing here sends real messages, takes money or goes live.

Set up
- Create the session: title, date, time (stored once, shown in each learner's time zone), join button, recording slot.
- Load the pre-read and post-read.
- Schedule reminders: 3 days, 1 day, 2 hours.
- Create polls and the quiz; each one has a stated purpose.
- Set the help route and reply time.
- Test as a learner with demo data only.
On the day
- Rehearse 30 minutes before.
- One helper on chat, one on the join page.
- Log problems without naming learners.
After
- Check the recording is up and the join button says "watch recording".
- Send the notification and check attendance.
- Issue certificates only to learners who passed the quiz.
- Add real time stamps to the recording agenda.
Data care
- Say why we ask, before we ask.
- Ask for the least we need. No name for polls.
- Make it optional. Say what happens if you skip.
- Show who can see the answer.
- Keep it only as long as the table says, then delete.
- Never share a list of learners with another company unless the learner said yes for that purpose.
- Never use answers to rank or shame a learner.
- Children and young people: a parent or guardian agrees first, where the law asks for it.
- Anyone may ask to see, correct or delete their answers. Support replies within 24 hours.
- Test data only until the owner says live.
