Send a tutorial video to a student

A student is never sent the tutorial itself — they are sent its video, which they download and watch. There are two ways to send one, and they end in the same place: the student's list of assignments. If you want to put a question in front of a student, make it an exercise instead.

It can only go to a student who has accepted your invitation. Until then the list of people to send to says You have no students who have accepted the invitation. — see connecting with your students.

First, the video

A tutorial without a video cannot be sent. Make one with Export video — in the studio, or on the tutorial's row in the Library. The video stays with the tutorial for as long as the tutorial exists; exporting again replaces it, and a student who downloads after that gets the new one.

From your list of tutorials

  1. Open the Teach tab and find the tutorial in the Library, or press Saved tutorials on the tutorials card, which opens the same list on your own tutorials. The Search field and the Label Filter Matrix narrow a long list.
  2. Press Send to student on its row and choose the student. If it has no video yet, the app says Export the video first and offers Export video instead.

The app says Video sent to the student. when it has gone.

From the student

The other way round, when you are looking at one student rather than at your tutorials: open their progress page from the Teach tab under Students and press Send a video. Every tutorial of yours is listed; one without a video says No video yet — export it first and cannot be chosen. Here you can add:

Send sends it. The same screen also has Assign drill for puzzles rather than a video.

A homework can carry a video too: add A tutorial video to it. The homework can be written before the video exists, but it cannot be sent until it does.

What the student sees, and what you see

It appears on their Home tab under Set for me, and in their own My Assignments screen, with Overdue marked if the day has passed. They press Download video. Once the whole file has reached them it counts as done: you are told, and the assignment's review says when it was downloaded, or Not downloaded yet. Whether they watched it nobody can know.

Taking one back

On the student's page, Withdraw assignment removes it. It asks first — Withdraw assignment? — because it takes with it whatever the student has already done on it.
