Inside a course
Opening a course gives you its own space, coloured like the course itself, with seven tabs and an Overview that summarises the whole thing in one screen.
Opening a course from My Courses takes you to that course's own space. Everything about it lives here, split across seven tabs, and the whole page takes on the course's colour so you always know which one you are in.

The course header
The header stays with you on every tab, so it is worth reading once.
| Part | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| All courses | Back to the list. It does not go back to the tab you came from |
| Title and code | The course name, then its catalog code in a grey chip |
| Difficulty pill | Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced, when your school set one |
| Status badge | In progress, Upcoming, Recently ended or Completed |
| Line underneath | Your program, your class and your intake, separated by dots |
| Circles of initials | The teachers on this course. Four are shown, then a +n circle. Hover any of them for the name |
| Bottom row | A Week {current} of {total} bar while the course runs, or a Starts {date} pill while it is still ahead |
A course with no status badge is not broken
The badge is left off a running course when the app cannot verify the course's window from its scheduled lectures. It would rather show nothing than claim a status it cannot stand behind. The same rule removes the week bar, so a running course can legitimately show neither.
The teachers listed here are the ones assigned to the course as a whole. A single lecture can have a different teacher, and that one is named on the lecture itself.
Overview
The Overview tab summarises the course in one screen. On a wide window it is a main column beside a narrower rail; on a phone everything folds into one column, ordered by what matters most.
| Card | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Up next | The single next thing in this course, and nothing else |
| This week | The same seven-day strip as Home, narrowed to this course |
| Assignments | The coursework still open here |
| Attendance, Latest grade, Progress | Three sections of one card, the course at a glance |
| Recent materials | The five newest files shared with the course |
| Announcements and Discussion | Previews of the course's own two feeds |
Cards with nothing in them are left out rather than shown empty, so a course that has only just started is a short page rather than a wall of blanks. The attendance card is the exception: it always appears, because "attendance is not being tracked" is itself worth telling you.
Up next shows one thing
The card picks a single line, in this order:
A lecture you can join
Live now once it has started, Starting soon in the fifteen minutes before, with a Join button for an online lecture or Go to lecture for one in a room.
The next lecture
Next lecture and how far off it is.
The closest deadline
How many assignments are due, and when the soonest one is.
The start date
Starts {date}, for a course that has not begun.
Up next can disappear while you are looking at it
When a live lecture ends, the card removes itself rather than sitting there offering a button that no longer works. Overview does not reload on its own, so this is the one card that can vanish without you doing anything. Nothing is wrong, and the lecture moves to Past on the Lectures tab.
The course at a glance
Attendance, your latest grade and your progress share one card, divided into sections by hairlines. Only the first section is always there.
Attendance comes in two shapes, and which one you get is set by your school for the whole institution, not per course.
A ring showing your present rate as a percentage, beside counts of Present, Late and Absent, and the hours you have missed when hours are recorded. The ring is green from 80% up, amber from 60%, red below that.
If nobody has taken attendance in this course, the section says Attendance not tracked instead of showing you a 0%.
Latest grade appears only once a teacher has shared one, and shows the mark against its scale with a View all link into the Grades tab. Progress appears only for a course built out of structured content, and its button reads Start, Continue or Review depending on how far in you are.
The other six tabs
| Tab | What it is | Where it is documented |
|---|---|---|
| Lectures | Every lecture of the course, past and future, with its materials, assignments and replay | Lectures |
| Materials | Every file shared with the course or with a lecture you attended | Course materials |
| Grades | The marks your teachers have shared | Assignments and grades |
| Assignments | What you owe, what you handed in, what you missed | Assignments and grades |
| Announcements | This course's announcement feed | Announcements |
| Forum | This course's discussion | Forum |
Structured course content is not in this version yet
You may see Course content referred to elsewhere, and the Progress card links to it. The page exists but shows only a "Coming soon" message, and it is not one of the seven tabs. Lessons built from text, video and activities are still in the classic version of EasyClass. Everything else on this page is fully available here.
Troubleshooting
Each tab shows only what has been shared with you. A teacher who has prepared materials or filled in a gradebook without publishing leaves the tab empty on your side. Grades in particular appear only once shared, and a file attached to a lecture you were not on never appears at all.
A course page belongs to one course taught to one class. If your classmate is in a different class, their link points at their course, not yours, and it will tell you the page is not available rather than admitting it exists. Open the same subject from your own My Courses instead.
That is deliberate. Each course carries its own colour, set by your school, and the header, the tab strip and every accent inside the tabs take it. It is the fastest way to notice you are in the wrong course.
They count different things. Home summarises attendance across every course you are enrolled in; this card counts only this course. A course where nobody takes attendance contributes nothing to either.

My Courses
My Courses lists every course you are enrolled in, grouped by program and class, and filtered by status. Here is how to read it and how to narrow it down.
Lectures
The Lectures tab is every lecture of a course, past and future. Each one opens onto its own page with the files handed out, your attendance and the replay if there is one.
