Current Unit / Lesson / Activity #

When you open a class, Pulse will automatically open to your current unit, lesson, and activity, based on your progress.

The units drop down in the upper left automatically selects your current unit, but you can use the drop down to browse other units. You can always return to your current unit and lesson by clicking on the map icon to the right of the drop down:

If you’re already browsing the current unit & lesson, the map icon will be grayed out..

Your current activity is indicated by a blue map pin icon:

What defines the current activity? #

Pulse shows you what you should be working on next based on the first activity matching any of these rules:

  • Your teacher has marked the activity as needing revision.
  • Your teacher has marked the activity as a “must-do”.
  • You’ve completed all previous “must-do” activities.

Pulse doesn’t prevent you from working on activities out of order, but it always suggests what it thinks you should be working on next.
