===Main Screen===
 +
 
 +
[[Image:Student_main.png]]
 +
 
 +
This is the main screen as seen by a student. Notice that the Laboratory subject is not visible. Also the school button in the top right of the header has been replaced by an xo symbol. This button in a deployment will show the student a record of his achievements and act as a portfolio in the context of the Learn activity.

=== Milestone Ladder===
 +
 
 +

 +
 
 +
In the student view, a click on a classroom subject in the main screen shows the milestone ladder. At the start of the term, the first milestone has a yellow cap showing that this is the current milestone. A completed milestone has a green cap. Notice the second milestone has a blue cap. The Learn activity automatically downloads one or more milestones for the student automatically.
 +
 
 +
The deployment sets a quota and a minimum number of milestones. When a milestone is completed, if the next milestone and those after it that are shown with a blue cap are less than the miniumum, the next milestone in the ladder is loaded. If this exceeds the quota, the first milestone already completed is removed from the XO (and the cap shows as light green (chartreuse). This system allows automatic management of the XO store.

=== Activity Ladder===
 +
 
 +
[[Image:Student_activity_ladder.png]]
 +
 
 +
The activity ladder works in a similar way. A completed activity is shown with a green flag. The current activity is shown with a yellow flag. The activities to be done are shown in blue. The Learn activity downloads milestones and so all activities in the current milestone are on the XO.

 +
===Activity===
 +
 
 +

 +
 
 +
The activity view is unchanged; however, notice that the on the right-side of the header, the student does not have an edit button. Instead the student has a check mark button. WHen the student finishes an activity, he or she clicks on this button to continue to the next activity. This button runs a script which records the results from the activity in the Journal (an object shown with the Learn icon and a title of 'Attempt'.
 +
 
 +
In a deployment, the Journal is backed up to the school server. These objects are stored in a log folder and the information is later moved to a database. It is then made available to teachers and to the student when requested.
 +
 
 +
===Independent Study===
 +
 
 +
Many teachers organize their classes so that all students are working on the same lesson. In these classrooms,
 +
the Learn activities are worked on in class for a specific period of time (e.g. for 20 minutes in a 45 minute period). Learn supports a course being designated for independent study mode (as described above), but this is optional. When a course is not in the independent study mode, the milestone and activity ladders work exactly as they do in the staff mode. However, the activity screen still shows a check mark button and the results of the activity can be recorded in the Journal.
