Overview

Off2Class lessons are pre-designed, interactive slide-based lessons. Each lesson combines different activity types to support specific learning outcomes and is structured to fit a standard class session.

• Lesson slides are pre-designed and cannot be edited directly
• Canvas changes are saved but do not modify the lesson itself 
• Courses organize lessons but do not change lesson content
• Lesson duration varies based on pacing, class size, and student level

Lesson activities

Use a range of built-in activity types within each lesson:

• Comprehension activities: ordering events, true/false, multiple choice, matching
• Practice activities: fill-in-the-blank, sentence prompts, cloze tasks
• Productive activities: role-plays, dialogues, email writing, debates, reports

These activities are embedded directly into the lesson slides.

Lesson length

Plan lessons based on a typical class session:

• Most lessons are designed for approximately 45–60 minutes
• Lessons typically include 15–25 slides
• Lower-level lessons may include more slides with simpler, repeated practice

Customizing lessons

Adapt lessons during teaching without changing the original content:

• Use Canvas
  • Draw, write, or add content during the lesson
  • Add supporting materials or extend activities in real time
• Use Courses (multi-teacher subscriptions only)
  • Group lessons into a structured sequence
  • Assign lessons and homework in bulk
  • Organize content for different classes or levels

Tips

• Use Canvas to extend speaking or writing activities without leaving the lesson
• Lower-level lessons include more repetition to support comprehension
• Adjust pacing by skipping, expanding, or revisiting slides during class
