Work through a lesson

  1. Open Learning channels on the website or Learning / My channels on mobile. Select a channel you have access to.
  2. Read or play the available lesson content and follow the activity instructions.
  3. Add the requested reflection, response or evidence. Save or submit it using the controls shown.
  4. Complete the lesson questions when available. Follow any feedback and retry instructions.
  5. Use the lesson navigation to continue. On Android, channels show one post at a time with Previous/Next controls.

Ask for support

Use Mine & Mentor for individual learning conversations, or the relevant Group conversation when the discussion belongs to the group. Share evidence that helps your mentor understand your progress.

Channels hold programme lessons. Conversations are for chatting; opening a conversation does not grant access to other private programme content.

Understand rated and unrated channels

A rated channel uses configured completion boundaries, quiz performance and mentor assessment. The weights and boundaries depend on the programme; there is no universal lesson-count-to-star rule.

Mentors assess learning evidence such as reflections, conversations and demonstrated application. Lesson completion and quiz results are distinct pieces of evidence.

An unrated channel does not yet have an active rating setup. Missing assessment evidence is not proof of poor performance. Ask the trainer about the requirements rather than guessing a rating.

Resources and exports

Open Resources for materials attached to your authorised channels. Where an export control is available, follow its prompts; availability and permissions may differ by programme.

Keep private learning materials within the sharing permissions given to you. A downloadable resource and a protected lesson video may have different controls.

Before you move onYou can find your next lesson, save evidence and explain what is still needed for your learning assessment.
