How can I launch a lesson?

In this article, we'll cover how to browse a lesson on your own or how to enroll students or a class in a synchronous (live) lesson.

Both browsing and enrollment features are available to all Teachers. Teachers on free subscriptions have access to only a limited number of lessons and cannot enroll multiple students or classes.

This article is composed of two sections:

  1. Browsing a lesson on your own
  2. Enrolling students or a class in a live lesson


Browsing a lesson on your own

  1. Start in the Lesson Library.
  2. Find the lesson group you want to teach (e.g. Foundational Literacy, Business English)
  3. Click the dropdown menu below the lesson group to expand the lesson list, then select the lesson you want to launch.
  4. Click the play button, then click 'I'm just browsing'

You'll enter the classroom and be able to interact with the lesson slides.



Enrolling students or a class in a live lesson

Enrolling your students in a lesson provides them with access to the lesson slides for self-review, as well as homework assignments, allowing you to accurately monitor their progress. Enrolled students can also interact with the lesson slides, creating a stimulating and interesting learning experience.

You have two methods available:

  1. From the lesson library, while launching a lesson
  2. From the classroom, after launching the lesson
