Course Curriculum View

Once you’ve logged in to a school, click My Courses and then click a course to be taken to its course curriculum.

In the course sidebar, you can view the following information:

Course Progress: This progress bar displays the percentage of the course that you have completed.

Class Curriculum: This displays all of the sections and lectures in the course.

Your Instructor: This provides descriptions/bios of the individual(s) teaching the course.

Navigating Through Lectures

There are several ways you can navigate through a course.

One way to start viewing a lecture is to click on the Start next lecture button at the top of the course curriculum. This will take you to the next uncompleted lecture in the course.

Alternatively, you can click the Start button next to each individual lecture to view them.

If a section of your course is marked with a lock icon, then you must complete all lecture content (e.g. a video or quiz) in sequential order, before progressing to these lectures.

If you do not complete a lecture video, then you’ll be unable to progress to the next lecture until you watch the entirety of the video.

If you do not achieve a passing grade on a quiz within a set number of retakes, then you will not be able to progress to the next lecture. Your school owner will receive an email notification indicating that you are not able to progress through the course and will have the option to reset your quiz score. If the school owner resets your quiz score, then you will receive an email notification indicating that you can retake the quiz.

Marking Your Course Progress

As you progress through lectures, click on the Complete and Continue button to mark the lecture as complete and move on to the next lecture in the course.

Afterwards, you’ll see a checkmark next to the completed lecture and your course progress percentage will increase. Incomplete lectures are denoted with an empty or a partially filled-in circle. Completed lectures are denoted with a checkmark. You can view individual lecture progress and course progress in the course sidebar here.

It’s important to note a few things as you mark your progress through a course:

Lectures will only be marked as complete if the Complete and continue button is clicked. If you navigate through the course by selecting individual lectures in the course sidebar, then the lectures will not be marked as complete.
Course progress cannot be reset, but you can still access lectures even if they are marked as complete. To do, click on the individual lecture in the course sidebar.
If you want to reset your course progress, you can contact your school owner and request that your existing account is deleted and then manually add/enroll you back in the course. This effectively “resets” your course progress.

Adjusting Lecture Video Settings

You can adjust the settings for lecture videos in your course by clicking on the gear icon:

Autoplay: When toggled, the first video lectures will automatically begin playing when you enter the lecture.
Autocomplete: When toggled, lectures will automatically be marked as complete when you finish the last video in the lecture.
Player: This allows you to select the type video player (HTML 5 or Flash) that you want to use while viewing lecture videos.
Speed: This allows you to select the speed at which you want the lecture videos to play.

Downloading Lecture Content

In some cases, you may have the option to download content directly from Teachable, depending on how the school owner has set up their course. If content is downloadable, it will be denoted with a paperclip symbol. Click on the download link to download the content.

Depending on your browser settings, the file will either download directly to your computer, or a new browser tab will open, where you can download the file to your computer.
