Live online courses, right in your browser
On Sapience, an online course is not a video you watch on your own: it is a live lesson, taught by your instructor in a virtual classroom built into the site. You join it from your browser, on a computer, tablet or smartphone, with no app to install, wherever you are in Tunisia.
How does a live lesson work?
- Your instructor schedules the lesson: it appears in your dashboard and calendar, and you receive an email reminder before it starts.
- At the scheduled time, open “Online lessons” in your dashboard and click “Join”.
- The virtual classroom opens in your browser: you can see and hear your instructor, and turn on your microphone and camera.
- During the lesson, ask questions, answer live quizzes and open the resources shared by your instructor.
- Your attendance is recorded automatically as soon as you join the lesson.
Virtual classroom tools
- Video conferencing built into the site, nothing to install
- Questions to the instructor during the lesson
- Live quizzes
- Shared resources: documents and links
- Notes published by the instructor and personal notes
- Reminders and notifications before each lesson
Live course or on-demand video: what is the difference?
| Live course on Sapience | On-demand video | |
|---|---|---|
| Questions | Immediate answer from the instructor | Often unanswered, or answered in writing later |
| Pace | Scheduled lessons that give you a regular routine | Flexible, but easy to drop |
| Exercises | Live quizzes and assignments graded by the instructor | Automatic exercises, or none |
| Follow-up | Attendance, grades and progress in your dashboard | Rarely personal |
Depending on the course, live lessons come with material you can study at your own pace. To compare the courses on offer, who they are for and the certificate of completion, see our online training.
After the lesson
- Assignments submitted online, graded by your instructor
- Lesson resources available in your dashboard

- Messaging and a forum to keep in touch with your instructor
Lessons are not recorded by the platform. Your instructor may, however, allow learners to record a lesson on their own device.
What you need
- A recent computer, tablet or smartphone
