The lesson player
The activity types in a lesson, how answers are saved, and what retaking does.
A lesson is a sequence of activities, shown one at a time, with the list down the left so you can see where you are. Activities marked Optional can be skipped.

Quiz
Answer one question at a time. Submit checks each answer before you move on.

Flash cards

Simulation
The simulation opens inside the lesson. Choose how to play, then complete it.
Spark

Results
Your score for the lesson.
Getting through it
The button at the bottom right is always the next step: Submit, then Next, then Finish on the last activity. Your answers are saved as you go, so you can close the lesson and come back; it reopens where you left off.
Some lessons hold you at a scored activity until you reach a minimum score. The player tells you what you got and what you need, and gives you Try again. After the allowed number of tries, Continue appears as well.
Simulations
On a simulation activity you have a few ways to play it:
In VR: you receive a pincode to enter on your VR device.
On the web: the simulation launches in your current tab.
On desktop: if you have the HyperSkill Desktop application installed, you can launch it there.
Finishing and retaking
The results screen shows right answers out of questions asked. Open response and flash cards are not counted, and the screen says so when a lesson mixes them with quizzes.
Retake lesson starts the lesson again as a new attempt.
Feedback
Every activity has a Feedback button at the bottom. Tell us what is working or confusing; it reaches the SimInsights team.
