Your dashboard

Signing in puts you on Home. It is a summary of where you are and what is next, and it is the screen worth learning first, because almost everything else is one click from it.

What is on Home

A welcome line and your streak. The streak counts consecutive days you have been active. More on that in XP, badges and streaks.

Getting started. On a new account, a short checklist of the things worth doing first. It disappears once you have done them.

Upcoming classes. The next live sessions you are expected at, with their join links. If your organisation does not run live classes, this stays empty.

Three tabs over your enrolments:

Tab	Shows
Courses	Every course you are enrolled in, with progress
Cohorts	The groups you belong to, and their dates
Pathways	Longer tracks made up of several courses

A course card shows its progress, and clicking it opens the course.

The sidebar

Entry	What it is
Home	This screen
Announcements	Messages your organisation, cohort or course sent to everyone
My Classes	Live class schedule, attendance, recordings and notes
My Submissions	Everything you have handed in, and the feedback on it
Track my Progress	Marks, grades and your gradebook
Explore Programs	Courses you can enrol in yourself
XP Leaderboards	Where you stand against your class, cohort and organisation
My Achievements	XP, level and badges
My Profile	Your public profile

On a phone the sidebar collapses to the essentials and the rest moves behind More.

Announcements and notifications are different things

They are easy to mix up, and the difference is real.

Announcements are what somebody chose to tell a room — your organisation, your cohort, or a course you are on. They are written deliberately and sent to everyone in that room.

Notifications are what happened to you. Your work was graded. A class moved. You earned a badge.

Each lives on its own page, and each page has a link to the other, so being on the wrong one costs one click.

The bell in the top bar shows unread notifications. The count clears as you read them.

Rukia, the assistant

A chat launcher sits at the bottom right of every screen. Rukia can answer questions about what you are looking at — a lesson, a course, a concept you are stuck on.

Two things make it more useful than it first appears:

It follows you. Expanding the chat to full screen, or opening it from a lesson panel instead of the floating window, continues the same conversation rather than starting a new one.

It remembers per thing. A conversation belongs to whatever you were looking at, so coming back to a lesson next week reopens what you already asked about it. Your past conversations are in the history list inside the chat.

If the assistant reports that it is unavailable, that is a deployment setting in your organisation, not something you can fix. Nothing else on the page is affected.

If a screen is missing

Some features are switched on per organisation. If a sidebar entry described here is not in yours, your organisation is not running that part of the platform. That is a decision they made, and an administrator can tell you which.
