Archived courses are older versions of Time4Learning’s curriculum that have been replaced by newer, updated content, like the Cinema Series. Once you switch your student to the new course, old courses will be archived. While they’ll no longer be available, families can still access the archived scope and sequence for reference.
As long as your account remains open, course progress will still be available in Custom Reports.
Yes! Lessons can be skipped in the student dashboard or omitted in the Activity Planner. You’re truly in control of your students’ learning path.
It’s simple! Students no longer have to access two dashboards. Whether navigating through the Activity Planner or just the My Courses option, they can simply select the activity card and dive right into the next lesson!
The best part is that once a student completes an activity, they will immediately see their score and completion details!
Absolutely! Lessons are designed to work smoothly on most mobile devices so that learning can happen anywhere.
Yes, plus so much more! One of the benefits of the new Middle School and High School courses are the amazing array of new submission types. This includes text annotation, on-screen essay submission, graphic organizers, and more.
Each question in your child's online course will display a point value next to it—this tells you how much that particular question is worth toward the overall assignment score. As your child answers the questions, their score is calculated based on how many points they earned out of the total possible points.
Manual changes aren’t available, but students can retake assessments, and the lowest score can be dropped on their Custom Report. It’s all about growth and mastery!
As soon as a student uploads their work, our advanced system jumps into action and grades it instantly - no waiting required!
Totally normal. You’ve entered “The Learning Zone.” Just remind them to blink occasionally so their eyes don’t file a complaint.
It sounds like your student fell into a learning rabbit hole! Side effects include unexpected bursts of curiosity, binge-learning marathons, and a sudden desire to explain quantum physics at breakfast. Don’t worry—it’s harmless and mostly brilliant!
Not at all. That’s just “active participation.” Bonus points if they use a buzzer.
Applaud their dedication—and maybe get them a tiny graduation cap. Either way, we hope your student enjoys their new study buddy.
You don’t. You simply accept that the course has become their favorite show. Just wait until they start quoting it at dinner.
