Setting homework

Homework here is a pointer at real content plus a due date — not a separate worksheet. That matters, because it means "done" is measured by the learner’s own progress bar rather than by them telling you they finished.

Setting an assignment

1. Pick the content — A lesson, a unit, a reading passage, a grammar point, a mock test — anything with a page. The assignment points at it rather than copying it.
2. Give it a title — What the learner sees in their list. "Unit 3 before Thursday" beats "Assignment 4".
3. Add instructions — Optional, and worth using. What to focus on, how long to spend, what you will ask about next lesson.
4. Add a private note — Also optional. Visible to the learner, so it is a note to them rather than about them.
5. Set a due date — With a timezone, so a deadline means the same thing to a learner in another country as it does to you.

How "done" is decided

An assignment is complete when the learner has cleared the checkpoints for the content it points at — the same checkpoints their own progress bar counts.

So there is no self-reporting, and no discrepancy between what they see and what you see. If their lesson bar reads 8/10, your roster shows the assignment as not yet done, and both are reading the same number.

What the learner sees

Assignments appear in their own list with your title, your instructions, the due date in their timezone, and a link straight into the content. They are notified when one is set.

Nothing about it changes the content itself — they get the ordinary lesson, and their progress on it counts toward their own XP and streak exactly as it would have anyway.

Following up

• The roster shows the state of every assignment — Who is done, who is partway, who has not started.
• Progress tells you where they stopped — Which is usually more diagnostic than whether they finished. Everyone stops in the same place when a lesson is too hard.
• Message them from the circle — Rather than chasing by email, so the conversation sits next to the work.
