More about the home screen
The homescreen is the screen shown right after logging in and from which a user may select a lesson. This area contains the most significant changes:

Getting started in the new interface
 |
Picking up where you left off in your last session or starting a new lesson
- Sign in to enter the home screen
- Click the button highlighted in blue; Start or Resume
|
 |
Picking a different unit or lesson than what is suggested
- From the home screen, click "Show Menu"
- Select a Unit
- Select a Lesson or Exercise
|
Exercise status and scores at a glance
State | Progress Bar | Action |
---|
Not Started Before a learner starts an activity, the progress bar displays the estimated time (just like mobile), and the action button indicates the learner can start the activity. |  |  |
In Progress Once a learner has started an activity, the status above the progress bar changes to "In progress" and the bar fills accordingly:
- Green indicates correct answers
- Red indicates incorrect answers
- Dark Gray indicates skipped questions
- Light Gray indicates questions not seen
Text under the status bar displays the number correct, incorrect, and skipped. The action button indicates the learner can resume the activity. |  |  |
Complete - Passed Once a learner has completed the activity, the status above the progress bar displays their score. If the learner has passed the activity, a green check appears next to the progress bar, and the action changes to "Review." |  |  |
Complete - Not Passed If the learner has completed the activity but did not meet the score threshold, they'll see a red alert icon next to the progress bar. The action button also shows that they may retry the activity. |  |  |
