To get started, simply visit our website and explore the available learning labs. You can sign up for workshops or access online resources tailored to your needs. If you're an educator, check out our teaching tools and curriculum guides for incorporating ActiveLearningLabs into your classroom.
What is the difference between a unit and a lesson?
Unit: A broader topic comprising multiple lessons and activities. Eg: 4Ps of Marketing, Investment, Double Entry Accounting
Lesson: A single, focused component within a unit, usually covering one concept or skill. Eg: Dollar Cost Averaging, Amortization Calculator, Trial Balance
Should I create an account to assign activities to the classroom?
Yes, teachers must create an account on our platform to assign activities to their classrooms. Once your account is set up, you can easily manage classrooms, assign activities, and track student progress.
However, for lessons, you can assign the activities anonymously without creating an account. This approach has some limitations such as, you can't track the progress from a different device, you will miss some reports, etc.
Should students create an account?
If you have a teacher account created, you can enroll students to the platform by using any of the following methods:
Share the class code to join
Import from Google Classroom
Manual enrollment
Bulk import using the provided Excel template
In the last three approaches, students will receive an invite email with the password to log in.
If you are trying in anonymous mode, students don’t need to create accounts. You can share a join link for the classroom, and students just need to provide their first and last name to log in. Anonymous modes are applicable only for lessons, not for units.

Can I delay the release of activity to students, after adding to the classroom?

Teachers can monitor student progress in real-time through the teacher console of each activity, which provides:

Insights into areas where students might be struggling.

However, teachers have control over setting the due date of activities.
