Working Through a Lesson
Lessons are made of slides. You read each slide, do any activities on it, and move on. At the end of most lessons there is a quiz.
Finding a lesson
Click Courses in the sidebar to see everything you are studying.
Click a course to open its map of lessons.
The course page opens at the lesson you should do next, so you do not have to hunt for your place. Lessons you have finished are marked, and the next one is highlighted.
If you would rather carry straight on from last time, use Continue lesson on your dashboard instead.
Working through the slides
Move between slides with the arrows, or with the left and right arrow keys.
The bar at the top shows how far through the lesson you are.
Slides are not just text. Many contain activities: drag and drop tasks, matching exercises, quick checks, and on programming courses, code you can run in the page. Do them as you meet them. They are the practice that makes the quiz easier, and they earn you points.
Read aloud
Many lessons can be read to you. Start the audio and the words are highlighted as they are spoken, so you can follow along.
This is useful if you find reading tiring, if you prefer listening, or if you want to go over a lesson again while doing something else.
Picking up where you stopped
You do not need to finish a lesson in one sitting. Your position is saved automatically, and when you come back you are offered the choice of continuing from that slide or starting the lesson again.
Finishing a lesson
Reach the last slide and mark the lesson complete. If the lesson has a quiz, it comes next.
Completing a lesson earns points, moves your course progress bar along, and counts towards any task your teacher has set that includes it.
If something is wrong with a lesson
If you spot a mistake, a broken activity or something confusing, use the small flag icon to report it. It tells us which slide you were on, so we can find it and fix it.
