Can’t find the same screen? Check that you are in the right account and have selected the right learner or lesson. On a small screen, open the navigation menu to see the page names. Read any access or availability message before continuing.
Manual task or digital exercise?
Use a manual task for work such as a passage from a piece. Use a digital exercise when the available Theory & Aural activity suits your goal. Preview reused templates to check their difficulty.
Save for later
If Save as a draft is offered, you can stop there and return later. Drafts and saved templates are not assigned work.
After the learner has tried the task, use Review student progress to decide what to practise next.
