What taking a course looks like

These screens are the real app, running the Getting Started with RobOS course that ships with it.

1

Read a lesson

Each lesson opens with a one-line summary, then the lesson itself: short sections, tables and code where they help. The lesson list on the left shows what is done, what you have started and how long each one takes.

  • Move between lessons with the arrow keys
  • A ring shows how far through the course you are
A lesson titled What RobOS is, and what it is not, with a summary, headings, a numbered list and the lesson list with progress on the left
2

Do the lab, not just the reading

Lab steps are things to actually do on your computer: open an app, change a setting, check a file. Tick each one off when it is done. The counter shows how many are left.

  • Steps can include commands and file paths
  • Your ticks are saved, so you can come back tomorrow
The Hands-on lab panel with two of three steps ticked, above the Check your understanding quiz
3

Answer, then learn why

Pick an answer and press Check answer. A right answer shows the explanation. A wrong one asks you to look again, and after a second miss it shows the answer and the reason. Answers are shuffled, so the right one is not always first.

  • Your quiz score counts first-try answers only
  • A lesson is done when every lab step and question is
Quiz questions: one answered correctly with an explanation, one answered wrongly with a Not quite message
4

Finish and get your certificate

When every lesson is done, you get a summary of the course and a certificate with your name, the date, your first-try quiz score and a certificate ID. Save it as a PDF. When the knowledge graph is available, the certificate is also recorded there.

  • Type the name you want on the certificate
  • Courses marked as reference material do not issue one
