Lesson delivery modes

What does this do?

When you launch a lesson you choose how it is delivered. Interactive: pupils join on devices and submit answers. Teacher-led: the lesson is projected and you use classroom checks for understanding — pupils do not need devices, and slides that need a sheet are printed. Hybrid: pupils can take part on devices if they have one, while you lead. AI Teacher-led: chosen pupils work one to one with an AI teacher.

When should I use it?

Pick Interactive when every pupil has a device, Teacher-led when there are none or you want the whole room with you, Hybrid when some pupils have devices, and AI-led for pupils who need to catch up or work independently.

Common mistakes

• Launching to the wrong class — the launch window can pre-select a class, so check it every time
• Expecting pupils to answer on devices in a teacher-led lesson — the slides are projected and answers are gathered in the room
• Expecting a teacher-played audio clip to play on pupils' devices — only your screen has the player
