What has to be done after each finished lesson?
Automatic Status Updates
Gone are the days of manually changing lesson statuses. Now, the system seamlessly updates the class status to "finished" overnight following the lesson. This automatic transition eliminates the need for teachers to perform this task manually, saving valuable time and streamlining administrative processes. Yes, it means that after teaching your lesson, you don't have to do anything!
Manual Intervention
However, our teachers still have the option to manually adjust lesson statuses should they wish to do so. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to manually update lesson statuses:
Navigate to the lesson view
On the right-hand side, locate the 'Lesson status' option and select 'Finished.' (number 1 in the screenshot below)
'Set as finished' window
Leave a subject from the course program (number 2 in the screenshot below)
Instead of 'Custom Subject' use the 'Comments' to write additional information. (numbers 3 and 4 in the screenshot below)
If a Technical issue happens click on the square and leave a comment.
Mark presence
Mark student presence to ensure accurate attendance records by clicking on the red square.
Next lesson
If the teacher discusses the matter of the next lesson with the student and knows the exact date and time she/he can fill in the gaps and press 'Finish'. (number 6 in the screenshot below)
Otherwise press 'finish' (number 6 in the screenshot below)
