# Kralis Classroom

> Live classes, video meetings, attendance, recordings, whiteboards, and collaboration inside Kralis.

Kralis Classroom is the standalone live-teaching and video-meeting product in Kralis. A school can use it without LMS, CBT, or SRMS. Other Kralis products can attach their own context later without becoming a requirement for Classroom.

App entry:

* [https://kralis.app/classroom](https://kralis.app/classroom)

## What Classroom provides

* instant and scheduled classroom events
* school, class, section, group, and individual access
* host, moderator, presenter, participant, and observer roles
* camera, microphone, screen sharing, chat, and raise hand
* waiting-room admission and participant-capacity enforcement
* host controls for participant media, permissions, and removal
* persistent session history and verified attendance activity
* automatically calculated attendance with audited overrides
* manual or automatic MP4 recordings with controlled publication
* standalone Excalidraw whiteboards with revisions and live viewing
* Classroom collaboration groups for reusable access
* school-level limits, retention, recording notices, audits, and issue monitoring

## The core concepts

* **Event**: the school-owned classroom definition. It contains the title, schedule, audience, academic context, settings, access, and history.
* **Session**: one live run of an event. An event keeps its session history if it is started more than once.
* **Participant**: one Kralis user’s event-level role and participation summary.
* **Admission**: the persistent waiting-room decision for one user and event.
* **Presence interval**: a verified period between joining and leaving. Attendance is calculated from these periods, not from merely opening the event page.
* **Recording**: one separately numbered recording segment belonging to an event session.
* **Whiteboard**: an independently owned, persistent board that may optionally be attached to one or more events.
* **Collaboration group**: a Classroom-owned reusable set of school users. It is not a Django permission group and does not change global Kralis roles.

Classroom keeps access, attendance, chat, recordings, whiteboard revisions, and activity history together under the school. Users join with their existing Kralis account and never need a separate meeting account.

## Product independence

Classroom does not require an LMS course. Events can be generic meetings, school-wide sessions, class lessons, section-specific lessons, or explicitly invited groups. Whiteboards also work without an event.

When LMS integration is added, a course may request creation or attachment of a Classroom event. The Classroom event remains the source of truth for its live room, participants, attendance, recordings, and whiteboards.
