Lessons & Homework
Lesson types, statuses, and how to complete, submit, and practice your work.
Lesson Types
Your teacher creates different types of learning materials:
| Type | Purpose | Feedback |
|---|---|---|
| Class lesson | Live video sessions with your teacher, featuring shared documents, individual work blocks, and live vocabulary. | Real-time during the live session |
| Exercise | Practice activities β multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, and interactive puzzles. | Immediate auto-check |
| Homework | Assignments to complete independently and submit for teacher review. | Teacher reviews and verifies with written comments and stickers |
| Guest Assignment | Material accessed via a shareable guest link with 30-day free access. | Auto-checked or verified by the assigning teacher |
Lesson Statuses
Every lesson moves through a series of statuses:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Added | The lesson has been assigned to you but not yet opened. |
| Started | You have opened the lesson and begun working. Progress saves automatically. |
| Passed | You finished all exercises or clicked "Send to teacher". |
| Verified | Your teacher has reviewed your submission and confirmed completion. |
| Canceled | The assignment was canceled by the teacher or school staff. |
For Homework, click "Send to teacher" on the bottom toolbar to submit. Your answers are safely stored in your permanent study records.
Guest Assignment Links & Claiming Accounts
If you receive a lesson or homework assignment through a Guest link:
- 30 Days of Free Access: You can open the link, type your name, and begin working immediately on a provisional guest account. Your 30-day free access window starts when the work opens.
- Save as Another Attempt: If you later create an account or sign in to your existing school account, your guest submission is safely transferred to your learning profile. Your history will display the notice: "Work you did as a guest is saved here as another attempt", keeping your guest work preserved alongside your school progress.
The Class Hub & Your Daily Study Queue
On Today, your enrolled classes are listed under To do as full-width class cards (one class card per row across all screen sizes), each with an Open the class button. Your daily study streak task clearly states its purpose: "Get a reward for your study streak", and clicking anywhere on the Journey card (showing your study streak hiker between camps) opens your Progress page (/platform/progress).
In the Class hub (/platform/studies), a row of three equal action tiles sits above your classes:
- Start on your own (launch self-study)
- Set an exam goal
- Join a class (enter an invite code or link)
When you open a class:
- You see your lesson list by default, organized into clear to-do rows grouped by unit. Completed lessons display "You finished this", and lessons without a scheduled date display "The date is not set yet".
- You can switch between the list and the visual path anytime using the Class view switch (List / Trail).
- A Class chat button sits at the top right of the class header (on the teacher line, or next to the class title while loading) so you can jump into the class conversation with one click.
- Both the class page and the Class hub have a top-left Back link that returns you directly to Today (
/platform), preserving your scroll position and filters when navigating back.
Course Follow Digests
When a class following a course unlocks multiple self-paced lessons or exercises at once, you receive a single consolidated digest email and notification rather than multiple alerts. Clicking the button in the digest email opens your study queue filtered directly to that batch.
Completing a Lesson
- Open a lesson from your Today screen, class page, Class hub, or Schedule.
- Work through the content and exercises β all text and widget responses save automatically.
- When finished, click "Save & Finish" (or "Send to teacher" for homework).
Ended-Lesson Widget Practice & Missed Class Materials
Revisiting past lessons is an effective way to study:
- When you open a previously completed or finished live lesson from your study history, you can freely re-solve and practice interactive exercises locally.
- Opening Missed Class Materials: If you were absent from a live class session and your class allows access to missed lesson materials (enabled by default), you can click "Open materials" on that past lesson in your class view or Schedule to read the completed lesson, review board notes, and practice the exercises on your own.
- A friendly notice in the lesson wrap-up confirms: "Practice in an ended lesson is not saved".
- Your original submitted live session answers and scores remain safely preserved and unchanged.
Viewing Feedback
After your teacher reviews your homework, you receive a notification and the lesson updates to Verified.
A "Teacher Feedback" banner appears above the lesson content showing:
- Your teacher's written comments and suggestions
- Any awarded Teacher Praise Stickers from the expanded 12-sticker collection (including the 4 gold-crowned premium stickers: π€― Mind-blowing idea, π Cool under pressure, π₯³ Worth a party, and π© Made us all laugh)
- All earned stickers are permanently collected in your personal Sticker Album on your Progress page
Locked Lessons
Some courses and classes release lessons gradually β on a schedule, sequentially, or when the teacher clicks Start class:
- Slide-In Lesson Sheet: Clicking a lesson opens a slide-in lesson sheet displaying the lesson's cover image, full scheduled date, and status.
- Unlock Dates: Future locked lessons show the exact date they unlock (for example, "This step opens on November 3.").
- Mobile Drag-to-Close: On mobile phones, the lesson sheet slides up from the bottom and can be dismissed by dragging down on the top grab handle.
- Visual State: Locked cards appear greyed out with a lock icon.
- Notifications: When a lesson unlocks, you receive a notification with a direct link to begin studying.
