Mastery Lessons
Five Lessons. Five Competencies. One Badge Each.
Each lesson teaches a strand through an AI-generated video, hands-on practice, and a mastery check — then awards a digital badge when the student demonstrates competency.
🔁 Every lesson runs in any mode — with or without a teacher
Built for continuity during teacher shortages: use these lessons in school, live online, or fully self-paced. The AI video carries the instruction and the activities self-correct, so no subject expert is required.
Project the lesson on screen or assign it at student devices. A teacher, substitute, or supervising adult presses play; students complete the activity and mastery check. Answer-checking and badge-awarding are automatic — a non-specialist can facilitate.
Share your screen in a live class: watch the AI video together, complete the drag-and-drop and quiz in real time, then discuss the reflection prompt as a group.
Students work independently at home or in a covered classroom: the AI video teaches, activities give instant feedback, the mastery check confirms understanding, and the badge is earned on their own — learning never stops.
