What is Teacher Sync and Free Mode?

Teacher Sync Mode

In Teacher Sync mode, you guide students through the lesson. Their decks follow the slide you select. Students still see their own student controls and activity content; their screens are not identical to the teacher view.

When you turn on Teacher Sync, the classroom shows that teacher-paced mode is active. Students see a notification when you launch a Study Set for the class.

If you launch a Study Set Game for the class, end that launch before moving students to the next activity.

Free Mode

In Free Mode, students can move through the assigned lesson at their own pace. Study Set Games may offer Single Player or Challenge.

Single Player

Students can work through the lesson themselves. You can still monitor their progress in the teacher view.

Challenge

For supported Study Set Games, students can use Challenge from the Study Set menu or Student Gamepad to compete with classmates.

Students can invite a classmate or the class; invited students may accept or decline.

Switching between Teacher Sync and Free Mode

Use the Teacher Sync or Free Mode control in your teacher view to change the classroom pace. Free Mode is the default.
