Topics

Folders and Topics

A Folder holds Topics: Chemistry holds Atoms, Bonds and Reactions. That's all the levels there are. Ask Mesh to lay one out, “Turn my syllabus into Topics, one per week”, or add your own with Add Folder and Add Topic in the Topics panel.

Only you delete a Topic. Its lessons and what Memory holds under it go with it, but its notes and files stay in the Workspace. Deleting a Folder deletes its Topics too, so drag any you want to keep into another Folder first.

Teach me

Every Folder and Topic has one teaching button. Teach me starts it: on a Folder, Mesh asks a couple of questions and plans its Topics; on a Topic, Mesh writes its lessons and begins. Continue goes on from the next lesson, and Stop switches you to Assistant mode with your place kept. Teach me and Continue turn on Tutor mode and open Mesh's chat.

A Topic's page

Tap a Topic to open its page. Its lessons run down it in order, each with a line on what it's for, ticked green once done; tap one to read its notes and the drawings Mesh made for it. The last lesson, Check yourself, is the Topic's Practice quiz.

Mesh writes the lessons. To change, add or remove one, ask: “Add a lesson on inverse functions”.

Material

A Topic's Material lists everything its lessons use, plus anything you or Mesh add: notes, Library items, images, videos, Practice sets and Board flags. Adding an item doesn't move or copy it, so one item can sit in several Topics. Open Material from the bar at the foot of a Topic's page; Add finds more in the Workspace.

From an item's side, its header says which Topics it's in, and Add to Topic adds it to another.

Learning

Learning in the top bar names the Topic Mesh is teaching you now; tap it to go there. Mesh moves it as the lessons move, or when you say “Let's work on Quadratics”. In Tutor mode, new notes, files, pictures, videos, quizzes and flags join that Topic on their own; in Assistant mode, nothing joins a Topic unless you ask.
