Learning on Mobile¶
The full learning loop runs natively on the phone: lessons, spaced review, and the final exam. Progress you make on mobile is the same progress the web app shows, because both apps write to the same account.
For the conceptual model behind all of this, see Working Through Lessons.
The four tabs¶
The whole loop sits on the bottom tab bar: Chat (where the app opens), Lessons, Review, and Exam.
The Lessons tab shows:
- A status line when you're current, with a progress bar counting finished lessons.
- The contents shelf, grouped by the topic each article explains: the topic's name, then its articles. Anything not anchored to a topic sits below under General. Each lesson row carries a progress ring that fills as you master its material and shows a check once the lesson is finished.
Working through a lesson¶
Open a lesson from the contents shelf, or from the Practice this banner at the top of an article whose exercises you haven't finished. One exercise at a time:
- Selection exercises shape the control to the answer: one pick replaces, several behave as checkboxes, an ordered answer numbers your picks.
- Written exercises give you a text box and a character budget. Your words stay exactly where you typed them if the grader can't reach a verdict — submit again in a moment.
- Look it up unfolds the passage the exercise was written from. A lesson is an open-book test; looking costs nothing and is not recorded.
- After you commit, the correction card shows the verdict, how it was graded, and — when you missed — the right answer or one that would have passed. A missed exercise comes back reworded at the same position until you land it.
Finishing a lesson shows what you have mastered, item by item, with each item's review schedule.
Review¶
When items fall due, the Review tab shows their count as a badge and opening it draws a session. Review is closed-book: no source panel, because recall is the thing being checked. Each answer moves that item on its own schedule, and the session ends with what it moved. When nothing is due, the tab says when your next item comes back.
The final exam¶
The exam is one conversation drawn across everything the Audience taught you, played against a counterpart over a bounded number of turns, graded once at the end. The Exam tab is where you sit it once every lesson is finished, return to one under way, or finish grading one that ended. The settled summary shows what held up, what fell down — due for review immediately — and what the conversation never reached.
Chat¶
The Chat tab is a thread: answers come from your organization's sources, with their sources folded behind an N sources row underneath — tap it to see them, and tap a source to see the facts it contributed. Follow-ups stay in the conversation. A question the sources cannot answer is recorded for the Audience's owners, and once it has an answer you're notified — tapping the notification reopens chat and asks the question again, so the answer is right there.
An empty thread lists Frequently asked — this Audience's ten most-asked answered questions, with how many times each has been asked. Tapping one drops the question and its recorded answer into the thread on the spot, no waiting and no credits, and the conversation carries on from there. An answer served from a question somebody asked before is labelled with the question it was matched to, so you can rephrase if that is not what you meant. If an answer looks out of date or wrong, Flag as outdated beneath it records which facts it was built on.
The Ask field at the bottom of each article stays single-shot: ask, read the answer in a sheet, get back to reading.
