You can similarly add courses to your batch. Learners will have to complete these courses as a part of this batch. You can also add evaluators for each course.
You can add two forms of assessments in a batch, quizzes and assignments. You can then check the status of the assignment and the quiz score for each student.
From the announcements tab, moderators can send important emails to all students of the batch. The emails sent are also displayed in a list. There is also a discussions tab where learners can put in their queries and moderators and other fellow learners can help resolve these queries.
