The Study Plan organizes a student's online course into a sequence of diagnostics, lessons, and practice. The Study Plan can be manually aligned to a defined scope and sequence, or it can be set to adaptive, providing a personalized learning path for individual students.
What You'll See in a Study Plan
A student's Study Plan contains three main elements:
-
Test Navigation
Students can use the test navigation at the top of the screen to switch between tests and subtests. -
Progress Bar
The progress bar tracks the percentage of the plan completed by the student. As students complete diagnostics, lessons, and practice, the bar will fill up. -
Quick Start or Resume
Students can use Start or Resume located just below the progress bar to jump back into the next lesson in their plan. -
The Study Plan Table
The main part of the screen is the Study Plan Table. This table lists a sequence of every diagnostic, lesson, and practice set in the student's plan.- The status icon on the far left of the table indicates if a lesson is complete, in-progress, not started, or locked (if order is locked).
- The table shows name, type, and completion date for each lesson or diagnostic.
- The actions on the far right of the table allow students to start, resume, review, or reset (if allowed).
How to Use a Study Plan
- Access the Study Plan for a Course — Go to Study Plan and choose a course.
- Complete the Diagnostic (Adaptive) — If the plan is adaptive, complete the opening diagnostic to populate the study plan with lessons and practice.
- Start or Resume a Lesson — Use Start or Resume in the top right of the Study Plan to open the current lesson. If the plan allows going out of order, you can start or resume any lesson using the action on the far right of the table.
Best Practices
- The first lesson or diagnostic in a Study Plan can be started from the Student Dashboard.
- Even if a plan allows going out of order, it's a good idea to complete the lessons in order if the plan is adaptive.
Summary
The Study Plan guides students through a sequenced path of diagnostics, lessons, and practice—either manually set or adaptively personalized. Students can track progress, start or resume activities, and access lessons directly from the Study Plan table.
