Overview

Teachers actively engage with students by assigning tasks and monitoring their progress. Each child receives a unique identifier and is placed within either a predefined system course or a custom course crafted by the teacher. All activities are meticulously documented in reports accessible to teachers.

Furthermore, educators have the ability to create personalized cards tailored to individual student needs, integrating customized sounds into system or teacher-generated courses. Within the course structure, children interact with multiple cards, listening to descriptions and recording their responses for teacher review.

The application provides flexibility for teachers to reset a child's progress, ensuring a tailored and adaptive learning experience for each student.
