Taking a course
The workspace, lessons and blocks, assignments, reviews, and leaving.
The course workspace
A rail switches between Overview, Material and Chat; Overview holds six tabs, from the curriculum to billing.
The enrolment questionnaire
A creator can ask a few questions the first time you open a course; only the creator reads your answers.
Modules, skills and key terms
A module page shows your progress, the skills it teaches, its lessons, tasks, assignments, key terms and resources.
Lessons and progress
Mark a lesson complete when you finish it; progress counts completed lessons, weighted by their estimated time.
Reading the blocks
Lessons use 20 kinds of block; tables sort and download, code and maths copy, and content from other sites asks first.
Quizzes
Retake a quiz as often as you like: your best attempt counts, and a required quiz releases the lesson at its pass mark.
Polls
One vote each, recorded at once; everyone sees the totals, and nobody sees who voted for what.
Assignments
Hand in text, links or a file of up to 25 MB; classmates see it in the feed, and nothing is graded.
The class feed
Everyone's handed-in work in one feed, with comments and votes; only the vote totals show.
Discussions
Answer a prompt in writing and choose whether classmates see it; some discussions hide answers until you write yours.
Threads inside lessons
A thread block is a real thread from the course room: post in the lesson and it appears in the room.
Selecting text in a lesson
Select lesson text to copy it with its source, add it to your Notebook, highlight it, correct it or ask the Assistant.
Correcting a lesson
Propose new wording for a passage; the creator approves or declines it, and an approved correction earns 100 XP.
The Resource Library
Every file, image, video and embed in the course in one list, each opening the lesson it is in.
Sources
Sources at the foot of a lesson list what the creator drew on, up to 25, each one a link.
Rating and reviewing a course
Review a course after 3 days and 20% of its lessons, with 1 to 5 stars; edit or delete it at any time.
Leaving a course
Leaving keeps your progress and refunds nothing; while your access lasts, rejoin for free.
Reporting a course
Report a course that breaks a policy; a person reads every report, within 1 business day for urgent reasons.
