SchoolMate has integrated with an on-line lesson platform called LearnCube. Lessons which are created as online lessons will take you to the LearnCube virtual classroom. Your students will be sent an email to join you there and you can teach the lesson. Attendance, lesson comments etc., can then be entered in SchoolMate as normal.
