Click on a Lesson's title to open the lesson in Prepare mode. At the very top of the page, you'll notice a toggle switch with three options: Prepare, Teach, and Analyse. Each mode will give you a different view of the Lesson, with different tools.
Prepare mode allows you to review and edit the Lesson's content and model answers before releasing it to your students. Learn more about what you can do in Prepare mode here.
Teach mode is designed to help you lead discussion, present your screen, and engage with students in during class. Learn more about what you can do in Teach mode here.
Analyse mode provides a snapshot of student responses as they work through a Lesson, and allows you to efficiently mark student work after class. Learn more about what you can do in Analyse mode here.
5. Release and hide Lessons
By default, Lessons copied from the Stile Science library are available (visible) to all students, excluding assessed check-ins and tests. Each Lesson can be controlled individually, and you can also control selections or the whole Folder.
From the unit Folder to the right of the Lesson you want to make available or hide, click on the text to reveal a menu to see the release options.
Once your students are added this menu will expand to allow you to release and hide Lessons to individual students, or groups of students as needed.
Click here to find out more about and releasing and hiding Lessons to you students.
