The class listing page is a sequential listing of upcoming and past classes. It can be found at: https://emdc.online/list. There also are two ways that you can provide someone with a direct link to a class. They are:
- The "Go" Script: A special page that highlights a specific class.
- Listing Short Cut: This uses the list page but acts as if you had selected the "more" button for a listing.
Finding the Class Number
For both of these methods you need to know the class number. If you do not know it, use these steps.
Go to the listing page and find the desired class by title or date. You can use the "search" function to narrow the display (1). Then click the "more" button (2).
This will bring up the description page. Scroll down to find the class number. The class number appears differently for Training Tracks (Courses). Choose the appropriate option below.
For Regular Classes
The class ID is located in the "Class Type" line. In this case it is #51.
For Training Tracks (Courses)
The classID of the first class in the course is what you are looking for. It will be listed in the table of individual sessions. It is NOT the CourseID listed at the bottom of this 'more' page. In the following example, you would normally use the first class listed. In this case that is ID #72. If you are finding this to set up a repeating Zoom meeting, you would use the ID for the first session, not each individual session.
Important note about Training Tracks and Courses: After the first session of a course is done, the training track no longer appears on the public page. Only people enrolled in the course will see the next and subsequent sessions showing up on the list.
The Direct Link "Go Script"
We call this the "go" option because it takes you to a page that ONLY shows this individual class. It is also the most direct page for a person not enrolled in EMDC.online. This URL is the main site link, the word "go" and the class ID all separated by a forward slash. Using our second class ID example above, it becomes:
This gives up a page that looks like the home page but with the class title and that individual class date and time.
If you were to scroll down on this page it gives your current status for this class or if you are not signed up or enrolled, it gives other options as well.
Shortcut Via List Page
This option keeps a person on the list page but then automatically pops up what is normally shown when a person clicks the "more" button. The shortcut uses the normal list page URL, a forward slash and then the course number. Using the first of the above example for class #51, this is the shortcut.
This brings up a popup like this in front of the main screen. Once you close the screen, you are taken back to the normal class listing.
Note, this option ONLY works for a person who is logged into the site.
Other Notes
Enrolled, Logged In and General Options
What you see on the individual screens will vary slightly based on if you are enrolled and logged in. This site gives restricted information to non-enrolled individuals. Something will be displayed, it just may not be very extensive.
Getting the UTC Time
If your main purpose of using this page is to get the UTC time for a class, the best option to use is the go option. As you can see from the above listing, it gives you the absolute UTC time right below your local time.
