Live, scheduled training built into the course flow.
Async video and self-paced content are great until the topic actually needs a human. Live sessions bring webinars, AMAs, and instructor-led training into the course as first-class steps — same enrollment, same gradebook, same completion logic. Sessions are scheduled, attended, recorded, and the recording becomes available to absentees automatically.
Concrete outcomes from this capability — not the marketing version.
A live session is just another lesson — appears in the course outline with date, time, and host info.
Who joined, who didn't, how long they stayed. Combine with completion rules to gate progression.
When the session ends, the recording links back into the lesson. Absentees can catch up.
Sessions hit learners' calendars (.ics) so they don't miss the time slot.
Webinars exist in lots of tools, but in most LMSes they're an external link with no real integration. BenchStep treats live sessions like any other course lesson: they enroll the same way, they count toward completion the same way, and the data lives in the same gradebook as quizzes and assessments.
Sessions can be hosted in whichever video tool you already use (Zoom, Teams, Meet, custom) — the LMS handles enrollment, attendance, and post-session content distribution while delegating the actual video stream.
