Manage lessons

Kolibri Lessons offer you the possibility to prepare smaller selections of available learning resources and assign them to learners on a temporary basis. You can select resources from multiple channels, and copy the created lessons to other classes or groups as needed.

To view, create or delete lessons, as well as assign them to learners, use the Lessons sub-tab in the Plan tab of your Coach dashboard. Default view displays the list of all lessons created for the selected class, the number of resources they contain, groups they are assigned to, and their status indicator.

Note

To manage Lessons in Kolibri classes and groups, you must sign in as coach, admin or super admin.



Captions for the video are available in English, French, Swahili, Arabic, Hindi, Marathi and Brazilian Portuguese.
