This knowledge base article explains how learners can view upcoming live classes, access live class recordings, and understand which course types include recorded sessions.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
How do I know if it is a fixed or Continuous Course?
How to identify your course type
- If the course name ends with C1, C2, C3, or another number, it is a Fixed Course.
- If there is no number at the end of the course name, you are enrolled on a Continuous Course.
You can see the course name at the top of the course page.
This is important because recording availability depends on the course type.
For continuous courses, live classes are not recorded for data protection reason For Fixed courses, live class recordings are avaialble after the live session has ended.
Viewing upcoming live classes
Upcoming Events
You can view a schedule of upcoming live classes directly within your course.
Live sessions are listed in the Upcoming Events section of the course page. This section displays scheduled classes and helps you track upcoming events. This is avilable on the right hand pop out panel on your course homepage.
Using the Moodle calendar
You can also view live class dates in the Calendar within your Moodle profile.
The calendar is available from the drop‑down menu next to your profile icon and shows upcoming live classes alongside other course‑related events.
