This menu is only visible to staff members. This is the English course menu. There are three courses: sje421, sje521, and sje621. While not required, it is convenient to use a code in naming courses.

In student mode, the students go directly from the main screen to the next screen - the milestone ladder. Within KLS, Learn downloads milestones automatically so that the student has on his laptop enough work for about three weeks before a connection to the school server is required. Staff may need to access any milestone in any course and so need this screen.

The last milestone has two activities. The first activity launches the Jukebox activity to show a Khan Academy video. The second milestone provides exercises related to the video. KLS includes an extensive collection of videos and exercises from the Khan Academy which are relevant to typical primary school mathematics courses.

===Uploading Milestones===
The buttons (edit and up arrow) on the right of the header are used in creating lessons. Learn downloads milestones as a single zipped file. Learn also provides for modified milestones to be uploaded to the school server.
If the up arrow is clicked in a milestone (activity ladder), the milestone will be packed and uploaded to the schoolserver. For learn-50, this can also be done using a USB flash drive in lieu of the school server. Mount a flash drive with a folder 'kls' at the root level. Learn will use this folder for uploads and downloads. For example, a milestone could be created with several activities (e.g. in Laboratory) and then uploaded by the up-arrow. The flash drive could be unmounted and moved to another laptop. On that laptop the milestone can be downloaded (click on the milestone which now has a light blue cap).
Note that Learn has only been tested and is only supported on OLPC laptops at present. Learn is best used with a recent build of the software (e.g. 11.2).
