In the Session: Lessonspace Basics
Lessonspace is the online classroom used for Braintrust Tutoring online sessions. It is not part of how you run a Spark session, so most Spark Instructors never need it. This page is here for the smaller group of Instructors who also tutor on the Braintrust Tutoring side and want to know where Lessonspace fits.
How Spark Sessions Launch
Your Spark sessions don’t run inside Lessonspace. You start a Spark session from your schedule: find it on your Dashboard and click Join Session. See Starting a Session From Your Dashboard for the full flow.
What Lessonspace Is
On the Braintrust Tutoring side, Lessonspace is the shared virtual room where an online tutoring session takes place - a collaborative whiteboard and workspace the tutor and student use together in real time. It’s tied to the Braintrust Tutoring session experience, not to Spark.
When This Applies to You
If you only teach Spark sessions, you can skip Lessonspace entirely. If you also tutor on the Braintrust Tutoring side, Lessonspace is where those online sessions happen, and it opens as part of that separate session flow - not from your Spark schedule.
