Huddle Roles supersede User Roles in Huddle Conferences. Anyone can join a Huddle Conference if they have access to the Huddle where it was scheduled. However, only Coaches and Admins will have access to schedule Huddle Conferences and see other features within the Huddle Conference Tab.
Scheduling Appointment Slots
An Admin or Coach in a Huddle can offer available slots in their calendar, while choosing the standard duration of a slot, and possible breaks between slots.
Huddle Members can view available slots in the Admin or Coach’s calendar, and reserve an online appointment. Scheduled appointments will appear in green, reserving the requested time, and preventing other Members or Coachees from choosing the same time slot.
Upcoming appointments and the buttons to join the appointments will appear in the left-hand column. Admins or Coaches can also use the calendar to scroll through their online appointments, and click on the scheduled appointments for more information.
Expert Tips for Admins or Coaches:
Blocks scheduled by the Admin or Coach are available for all the Huddles that the Admin or Coach has in Sibme. This allows the Admin or Coach to effectively manage office hours across all the courses they teach.
The Appointment Booking module can be used for office hours, tutoring, counseling and other private meeting options.
