Prerequisites
You need to be enrolled in a course before accessing course content. See Enrolling in a course for the payment and enrollment flow. Free-preview lessons are visible to any logged-in user before enrollment.

Accessing your course

  1. Log in to your account and go to /dashboard/student.
  2. Under My courses, find the course you want to study and click Continue learning (or Start learning for new courses).
  3. You land on the course learner at /dashboard/student/courses/{course-id}/learn.
Free preview lessons
Lessons marked as "Free preview" by the tutor are visible to you even before enrollment. Look for the Preview badge next to a lesson in the curriculum list on the public course page. Click the lesson to open it directly.

The learner layout

The learner page has two panels:

  • Left sidebar — the full course curriculum: sections, lessons, and tests. Your progress is shown inline for each item.
  • Main panel — the active content: a lesson player, test intro screen, running test, or test results view depending on what you've selected or are currently doing.

On small screens (mobile) the sidebar collapses. Tap the menu icon (top-left) to open it.

The sidebar shows the complete curriculum tree:

  • Sections are collapsible. Tap a section header to expand or collapse it. Sections have a title and an optional short summary.
  • Lessons inside each section show an icon for the lesson type (video, document, text, embed) and a progress indicator.
  • Tests show a quiz/exam icon and how many attempts you've used (e.g., "2 attempts").

Click any lesson or test to navigate to it. The currently active item is highlighted.

Progress icons

Icon stateMeaning
Empty circleNot started
Half-filled circleWatched less than 80% (video) or opened but not completed
Green checkCompleted / watched ≥ 80%
Green check (test)Submitted at least one attempt

Progress is saved automatically and persists across devices. If you switch from your phone to a laptop, your progress carries over.

Watching & reading lessons

Click any lesson in the sidebar to open it. The main panel updates to show the lesson content. Your progress is tracked automatically as you engage with the lesson.

Video lessons

Videos play inside an embedded player. Supported sources: YouTube, Vimeo, and direct MP4 links.

  • Watch progress is saved every 15 seconds — if you close the tab and come back, you'll see your last-watched position tracked. (Resuming from last position depends on the embedded player.)
  • A lesson is marked complete when you've watched ≥ 80% of its duration.
  • Scrubbing ahead counts only time actually watched — skipping to 90% without watching from the start doesn't count the skipped portion.
YouTube restrictions
If the video shows a "Video unavailable" error, the creator may have set it to private. Contact your tutor — they can fix it by making the YouTube video "Unlisted".

Document lessons

PDFs open in an inline viewer. You can scroll through the document without downloading it. Use the controls at the top of the viewer to zoom, search, or go to a specific page.

Document lessons are marked complete the first time you open them (unlike videos, there is no "read 80%" tracking for documents).

Text & embed lessons

Text lessons render as formatted reading material in the main panel. Embed lessons show an interactive frame (Google Slides, Canva, etc.) inside the content area.

Both are marked complete as soon as you open them.

Taking a test

Click a test in the sidebar. The main panel shows the Test intro screenwith:

  • Test title, total marks, number of questions.
  • Time limit (if set by the tutor).
  • Attempts used vs max attempts allowed.
  • Instructions (if the tutor added any).

When you're ready, click Start test. The timer begins immediately.

Your attempt starts when you click Start
Once you click Start, the timer counts down. Don't click Start until you're ready to focus. Leaving the page mid-test does not submit — you can return to the same attempt using the same URL.

Timer & auto-submit

The countdown timer is displayed prominently at the top of the test view. When it reaches zero, the test is automatically submitted with whatever answers you've saved up to that point.

  • Red timer — appears when fewer than 5 minutes remain. A warning banner also appears.
  • Auto-save — your answers are saved every 600 ms. Even if you close the tab by accident, your answers are preserved when you return to the attempt.

Question palette

Below the timer, the question palette shows numbered buttons for each question. Colors indicate:

ColorState
Light (outline)Not yet answered
Blue (filled)Active question
Green (filled)Answered

Click any numbered button to jump to that question. This lets you revisit earlier questions or tackle the ones you skipped before time runs out.

Answering each question type

Question typeHow to answer
MCQClick one radio button.
Multi-selectClick all checkboxes you believe are correct. You can uncheck to change.
True / FalseClick the large True or False button.
Fill in the blankType your answer in each blank text field. One field per blank.
Short textType 1–3 sentences in the text area.
Long textType a full written response in the large text area.
File uploadUpload your image to any public service (Google Drive, Imgur) and paste the URL.

All answers are auto-saved as you type or click. There is no "save answer" button — changes are persisted immediately.

Submitting a test

When you're done, click the Submit test button at the bottom of the page. A confirmation dialog asks you to confirm — it shows how many questions are answered vs unanswered so you can decide whether to review before submitting.

After you confirm, the attempt is finalized. Objective questions are graded instantly. Subjective questions (short text, long text, file upload) are graded by AI in the background — results appear within ~30 seconds.

Unanswered questions
Unanswered objective questions receive zero marks automatically. Unanswered subjective questions are sent to the AI grader which also awards zero. You can't go back and answer questions after submission.

Viewing test results

After submission, you are taken directly to the results view. You can also reach it later from the test intro screen (View last attempt).

The results view shows:

  • A score banner at the top: your total score / max score, percentage, and a green "Passed" or red "Failed" badge (if the tutor set a pass threshold).
  • A per-question breakdown: your response, whether it was correct, the correct answer, and the tutor's explanation (for objective questions).
  • For subjective questions: the AI's score, written feedback, a confidence percentage, and — if a rubric was set — a per-criterion table showing awarded marks and comments.
  • A "AI grading in progress…" banner if subjective grading hasn't completed yet. Refresh the page after ~30 seconds.
Can I dispute an AI grade?
Yes — contact your tutor. Tutors can review and override AI-awarded scores at any time from the grading panel. If a score seems unfair, message your tutor with the question number and your reasoning.

Submitting assignments

Assignments come from your enrolled batch (live courses), not from the self-paced curriculum. You'll find them at /dashboard/student under your course → batch → Assignments.

Each assignment shows:

  • Title, instructions, and any attached reference files from the tutor.
  • Due date and maximum score.
  • Your submission status (Not submitted / Submitted / Graded).

To submit:

  1. Click the assignment to open the submission form.
  2. Type your answer in the Text answer field (optional if you're uploading files).
  3. Add up to 5 file URLs — upload your files to a public URL (Google Drive, etc.) and paste the link in each field.
  4. Click Submit.
Re-submitting before grading
You can edit your submission and re-submit as many times as you like until the tutor grades it. Once graded, the submission is locked.

Viewing assignment grades

When your tutor grades your submission, you'll receive a notification. Open the assignment to see:

  • Your score and the maximum possible score.
  • Written feedback from the tutor.
  • If AI was used: the AI's reasoning, per-criterion rubric breakdown, and AI confidence score — even if the tutor overrode the AI grade.

If you have questions about your grade, reply to your tutor in the batch chat or message them directly.
