# Learner User Manual

Who is a “learner”?

Anyone who uses KA Lite primarily for learning. Learner accounts will track individual progress through videos and exercises, and learners will only be allowed to view their own data.

## Accessing KA Lite

There are two ways KA Lite can be used:

1. Set up on a network with one main server, having machines connect to this server. If this is the setup chosen, installation is not necessary on a learner’s computer, as it can be accessible through a web browser with the IP address of the server. Simply copy and paste the server’s IP address into your web browser any time you’d like to access KA Lite. If you are unsure what the address is, please contact your administrator.
2. Installed for single user, on one machine. If you are not accessing KA Lite through a network or wish to run KA Lite on your own computer, please follow the KA Lite Installation Guides first before proceeding with this user manual. Once you have done so, copy and paste the URL given during the installation process into a web browser to access KA Lite (it should be http://127.0.0.1:8008).

## Navigating through Content

To begin engaging with the Khan Academy videos and exercises, first make sure you are logged into KA Lite. Upon log in, you should see a green menu on the left that lists the content. If you do not see this green menu, please start by clicking on the “Learn” tab on the home page.

Start by selecting the subject you’d like to explore. This will expand the side menu, displaying subtopics within that subject.

The icons to the left of the menu selections describe whether or not it is a video, an exercise, or a menu that can be further expanded:

> - icons designate that the selection can be further expanded into subtopics
> - icons designate that the selection is an exercise for that topic.
> - icons designate that the selection is a video for that topic.

Once you have found the video or exercise that you’d like to engage with, simply click on that selection.

### Content Recommendation

The content recommendations based off of your current progress are on the homepage and becomes visible after you have made some progress on at least one exercise. After you have made any form of progress, this is the first page you should see after logging in. If at any point you would like to get to your homepage, please click on the KA Lite logo in the top left hand corner.

The homepage now provides you with three cards:

Resume: This card allows you to navigate to the last exercise you were on. This includes both videos and written exercises.

Next Steps: This card allows you to navigate to excercises you have begun; you can also to navigate to the over-arching topic to which that exercise belongs to.

Explore: This card recommends content for you based on topics you have completed and begun. This card also recommends random content from our collection of topics to encourage learning from multiple fields.

### Content Rating

You can leave feedback on each content item. When you are logged in, you’ll find a rating box below each content item. You can rate each content item on Quality and Difficulty on a 1 to 5 scale by clicking on the star icons. 1 represents the lowest rating, and 5 represents the highest rating. You can alter the ratings at any time by clicking on a different star icon.

After rating Quality and Difficulty you’ll be able to leave any comments you wish. Simply click on the text box labeled Your Comments and type away! You can edit your comments freely.

At this time, you are only able to view your own ratings.

Coaches can export the ratings of all users in csv format.

## How to Practice Exercises

First, please log into KA Lite. Then, navigate to the topic that you’d like to practice exercises for.

To answer a question, enter the answer in the box on the top right of the module, or select the bubble next to the answer choice in the exercise panel. Once you have decided on your answer, click “Check Answer”.

After answering a question, the exercise module will not advance to the next question until you click the “Next Question...” button on the right hand side of the module.

The bar on the top right will display your progress as you go through the exercises. After 8 correct answers out of the last 10 answered, your points for the exercise will be added to our total and you will have mastered the exercise. If you get an answer wrong or ask for a hint, you will be unable to earn points from that question until it is presented again.

Hint

If you are stuck on a problem, you can ask for a hint by clickin on the “Show hints” button! Use your hints wisely, for there are a limited number of them for every section.

### Saved Progress

If at any point during an exercise you wish to watch a video to refresh your memory, feel free to navigate to the video by expanding the green tab which will bring up the content menu. Your progress for that exercise will be saved and you will not lose your work.

2. Then, click on your name in the top right of the page.
3. It will then show a drop-down menu, from which you can click on “My Progress”.
