Modules

Start here — create a Module on the class home, then build and assign activities inside it.

Where to start

Before you make a single activity, create at least one Module on the class home. Lab, Workroom, Playground, and Revision all live inside a Module — not on a flat class list.

A typical path looks like this: create a Module on the class home → open it → use Lab to build Echo, Spark, or Flux (and other apps) → assign so tasks appear in Workroom → students practise privately in Playground when needed → use Revision to recap the Module → optionally save the whole Module to My Pool for next year.

What Modules are for

A Module is a shared topic shelf for your class — for example “Term 1 — Narrative”, “OLNA English”, or “Photosynthesis week”. Teachers and students see the same Module list on the class home.

When you open a Module, a strip across the top takes you to four places. Workroom holds class-assigned tasks. Lab is where you create new activities for this topic. Playground is where students keep private practice scoped to this Module. Revision builds one Echo quiz from everything in the Module — class tasks plus Playground practice.

Surface	Who uses it	What it is for
Workroom	Everyone	Published class tasks for this Module
Lab	Teachers (Student Lab for students)	Create activities that land in Workroom or Playground
Playground	Students	Private practice packs tied to this Module
Revision	Everyone	A private Echo recap built from this Module’s tasks

Creating and organising Modules

On the class home, choose Create Module and walk through the wizard.
Give the Module a clear name. You can optionally set start and finish teaching dates.
Open the Module — you land on Workroom. Use the strip to reach Lab, Playground, or Revision.
Your next step is Lab: create your first activity inside this Module (see the Lab guide).
To rename or delete, use the class home (the creator or staff can do this). Deleting a Module removes the shelf; tasks stay in the class but are no longer grouped there.

Teachers usually create Modules; students can too (for example in homeschool settings). Skipping this step is the most common setup mistake — activities need a Module to land in.
