Speaking of class...
Classes are part of the monitored learning environment and student groups that are part of a term of a given period of time or permanent with the goal of attending a particular subject. They are structures linked to subjects in which students can enroll.
A class can have one or more teachers as well as well as one or more tutors. It may also have a responsible person, who does not necessarily have to be a teacher or a tutor.
When creating a class for a discipline, a community is automatically created for it to promote the integration and dissemination of knowledge among students, teachers and coordinator. The community can be used to share subject matters, questions, explanations, suggestions, among so many other options that make learning collaborative and more efficient. Students will be added to the community as members when their enrollment in the class is approved. The community coordinator is the class coordinator and the people in charge are the moderators. The class community is only disabled when the class is deleted or finished.
