Series: your own ordered list of lessons
A series is your own list of lessons, in the order you want to learn them. It is for a free account, the Public college, and an AI assistant builds it with you. Your series are what My learning, the second item on the bar, shows first, with your lessons below them. A ring beside each series shows how far through it you are, and each series and lesson says about how long is left.
Only you can see your series. No teacher is shown it and nothing is added up about it.
Making a series
Open My learning and type what you want to learn in the box at the top, such as "I want to learn SQL". The AI assistant opens on the right, finds lessons in the Library and suggests a series with a reason for each lesson. Nothing is saved until you press Keep. Before you do, you can ask it to add a lesson or take one out, and it changes the suggestion.
You can also change a series you already have by asking, for example "add a lesson on joins to my SQL series", or "delete my SQL series". Each change is shown first and happens only when you press Keep.
A series page still lets you add lessons by hand, and Series in its address is the same list, for when the AI is switched off or your questions for the day are used up.
To follow a whole module, press Add to My learning on its card in the Library, or above its list of lessons. Every lesson in it is added and they become one series named after the module, in the module’s own order, without the teacher guide. Pressing it again opens the same series and adds any lesson it was missing, rather than making a second one.
Changing the order
Each lesson has an Up and a Down button, so the order can be changed from the keyboard as well as the mouse. Take out removes a lesson from the series only: it stays in your lessons.
You can change the title and the goal at any time on the same page.
Your Home page
Home lists your lessons beside Recent builds: the code files, container lab, VM and deployments you made most recently, newest first, each with what it is and a link to where it opens. Nobody sets you modules or tasks, so Home does not list any.
If you take a lesson off your lessons
A lesson you no longer hold stays in the series, shown as one you do not have, with a link to find it again in the Library. A series is never emptied by taking a lesson off your lessons somewhere else.
Deleting a series
Delete series is on its page and asks first, and the assistant asks first too. Only the list is deleted: every lesson stays in your lessons. A deleted series goes to Deleted items, where you can put it back, and is kept until you delete it there for good.
What it costs, and how to try it
A school or college has its first 365 days free, for up to 50 students and with no card, and everything on this page is part of it. After that the price is per student a year, with staff free and labs, virtual machines and AI included on a fair-use basis. The pricing page has the figure in your currency and a calculator.
Questions people ask
- Can a series hold a lesson I do not have?
- Not yet. Add the lesson to your lessons from the Library first, then add it to the series. The assistant does both for you when you keep its suggestion.
- How many series can I make?
- Up to 50 series, each with up to 100 lessons.
- Can the assistant make or change a series for me?
- Yes, that is how a series is made. Ask on My learning, in the Library or on Home, such as "I want to learn databases". It suggests a series of lessons with a reason for each, and nothing is saved until you press Keep, which also adds any lessons you do not have yet. Undo takes it back. You can ask it to change or delete a series you have, too, and it asks you first.
