2. Device Free Mode
We recognise the challenges some schools face with limited device availability or the need to reduce screen time. That's why we've introduced Device Free Mode! You'll notice a new button next to the present mode in the coming week. Simply click it, and you're set to teach without requiring laptops or tablets. To ensure lessons delivered in device-free mode will still be tracked on your progress dashboard, we've even started measuring how long a class spends on a lesson.
3. Lesson Hiding and Unhiding
Our new Lesson Hiding and Unhiding feature lets admin users customise which lessons are visible to teachers and students. With this feature, you can ensure teachers and students see only the content you want them to see right now. This means you can hide lessons already completed by most classes or only reveal lessons you want to be done this term! Importantly, when you hide a lesson from view, it will remain on your progress dashboard.
As always, we're here if you have questions or need any help with these new updates. Reach out anytime; we love hearing from you.
Happy teaching,
The Wellio Team
