This is to be used along with EP All-in-One Homeschool. It allows you to choose your own courses and mark off lessons as you complete them. You'll also be able to do things like check in from your phone. Check the Updates page for what's new.
Click on the arrow button to open your lesson. You can also always click on the lesson number link to find your lesson or see the other lessons in the course. The box color changed once you open your lesson. Click on Needs Work if you are finished. It will give the marks for checking your work. Then move on to the next course. Later, when your work is checked. The course will dim out when you mark it complete. Here are screen shots of the process.
If you have all your course lessons marked complete, a checkmark will appear at the top of the page. Click on that to move the day number forward and reset the page for the next day. If you are wanting to make the day complete but not all assignments are complete, go to the Settings page (Parents link), and click on the checkmark by the day number at the top of the page. Here are screen shots of the process.
PE/Health, music, art, computer, and thinking are once-a-week courses (levels 1 - 8). They will appear on the parent's setting page, but they will automatically appear once a week on the student page. If the student does not complete the assignment, it will not show up the next day. It will show up the next time that course is assigned in the once-a-week schedule. The incomplete assignment will still be there waiting. If you really want them to show up every day, then remove them from the Settings page and click on the Extras page link under all the courses. You can add these courses there and they will show up every day to use as you choose. Music appears on days ending in 1 or 6. Computer appears on days ending in 2 and 7. Art appears on days ending in 3 and 8. Thinking appears on days ending in 4 and 9. PE/Health appears on days ending in 5 and 0. This is just how it was originally designed on the site. Here are screen shots of the process.
You can choose between a dark and light background on the student page by clicking Turn On/Off the Lights on the Settings page in the top left corner.
If you want to allow your child to complete more than one lesson a day for a course, click "Show Did More" in the top left corner of the Settings page. They can go to the lesson link and continue to scroll down and complete as many as they want. When you check, after you click the checkmark to show that lesson number was completed, it will ask if the next lesson number is complete. Click the check if it is, and so on. Just stop when you get to an incomplete lesson.
If it's not your lesson page, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on Switch Students. Click on the button with your name and color.
On the Settings page, the course boxes on the page say "Move Up" and "Move Down" in the bottom left corner. Click those to move that course up one or down one spot. You can keep clicking that to get them in the order you choose for that one student. The extras courses can't be reordered. They will still appear at the bottom of the course list on the student's page.
Start by clicking to set the level and theme. Then make any adjustments to the courses by using the previous and next buttons or the X in the corner to remove it from the student page. If you aren't starting at Day 1, enter the number of the first lesson you want to appear on the student page. There is a box to enter it. There is no enter button. It will save it automatically as you click on something else on the page. Unused courses appear at the bottom of the list. Electives are down there. The include mostly high school courses, but I added "Practice" and "Chores" onto the list in case you wanted to add that to your child's daily checklist. If you need more electives, click on the link to the Extras page at the bottom of the courses. That will give you more choices for electives or for doubling up on courses (not neeeded, just for those who want that). Not all courses listed will show up on the Student page. Once-a-week courses show up once a week. If there is no Spanish, for instance, for that level, it will not show on the Student page. Here are screen shots of the process.
Click Edit Student to change the name. It is under the Students heading on the Settings page. Click Add student add another student. It will start as "Student 2", and then you will type in the name to edit it. When you click save, you'll see the student's name by the day number.
The Preview will show you all of that student's assignments for that day. You can switch between students on the page, but you can't switch between days. It just shows their current assignments.
Click Remove Student to delete them. It will require a second click to confirm you want that specific student and their info deleted. It cannot be restored.

Under the day number on the Settings page, you can add or subtract points by typing the amount in the box and then clicking the plus or minus sign. The program automatically adds points for each assignment completed. That's typically 700 points a day. If you want, you can allow them to use their points for rewards of your design. Just subtract off the points they are spending.

On the Settings page under all the listed courses, you can find a link to the Extras page. That page starts blank, but you can add a second math or any other course you want to double up on, or add extra electives. If you wanted the once-a-week course to show up every day, you can add it from here, but it is the same course of 36 lessons, and you'll want to remove it from the main Settings page. These are the same courses, just "extra". These will all show up on the same Student page as the other courses.
When you are finished for the year, you can get reset by either using the Set Level and Theme button or by clicking Next under any course heading.
