Courses

A course holds the lessons of a level. For a class in the mosque it can stay empty at first: the course only has to exist and belong to its level.

Create a course

1. Open Courses and tap New course.
2. Enter the Course title, for example the name of the level.
3. Tap Create. The course opens on Course Details.
4. Open Publishing and, under Level, choose the level this course belongs to, then tap Save.

Import a course from the Library

1. Open Library in the menu.
2. Open a course and look through its lessons.
3. Tap Import to my mekteb. Mektebi makes a copy for your mosque as a draft.
4. In the copy, open Publishing, choose the Level and tap Save.

Your mosque and its teachers decide what is taught. Check an imported course before you use it.

Who may change a course

Every muallim and admin of your mosque can open and read every course. Only the course's own muallims and the mosque's admins can change it, record its grades and set its knowledge checks. A muallim who creates a course, copies one with Clone or imports one from the Library becomes one of its muallims.

To add a muallim to a course:

1. Open the course and tap the Muallims tab.
2. Under Add muallim, choose the muallim.

Only an admin or one of the course's muallims can add someone.

Record grades

1. Open the course, tap More and choose Grades. Muallims also find this button on the course card in their Dashboard.
2. Check the school year at the top: grades belong to one school year.
3. Tap a learner's field under a category, for example Midterm or Final.
4. Under Grade, enter a grade from 1 to 6 in half steps, for example 4.5 (6 is the best grade). You can add a Remark (optional).
5. Tap Save. The learner and their parents get a message.

Only the course's own muallims and the mosque's admins can open the grades: they are about children, so other staff don't see them. To record grades, an admin also needs a muallim profile in the mosque; the grade sheet links to Members, where you add the role.

Knowledge checks

A knowledge check is a short quiz on a lesson, a chapter or the whole course.

1. Open the course, tap More and choose Knowledge Checks.
2. Tap Add knowledge check.
3. Under Attach to, choose the lesson, chapter or course. Under When, choose Before or After.
4. Add the questions, set the options below if you need them, and tap Save.

• Required: learners must pass the check to go on. A Before check locks its lesson, chapter or course until it is passed; an After check locks what comes next. While a required check is not passed, the course is not completed and there is no certificate. Answers that wait for your grading lock nothing: they only hold back completion until you grade them.
• Time limit: 1 to 180 minutes, with a countdown. When time is up, the answers are handed in; later answers are not accepted.
• Attempts: how many times a learner may take the check while they haven't passed it. A learner who failed with no attempt left appears under Out of attempts on this page; tap Give another try to give them one more. They get a message.

Written and recorded answers wait for you in Knowledge-check review on your Dashboard. Give points and feedback for each answer, then tap Release grade. The learner then sees the result of each question with your feedback.
