Short lessons, real labs, work that's actually checked
Each course is broken into short lessons, and every lesson ends with a knowledge check so you can tell right away whether it landed. Courses also include quizzes and a final, plus one or more labs you must pass. Where a course calls for written work, you upload an assignment instead of taking a quiz.
The virtual lab
In your browser
Lab benches run in your browser. You enter values — measurements, component specifications, test conditions — and the bench calculates the result from what you typed, the way a real instrument or worksheet would.
Graded, not self-reported
You get instant right-or-wrong feedback with an explanation, so you know immediately why an answer was correct or not. The lab is graded on our side, not something you mark off yourself — a passed lab reflects work that was actually checked against the expected result.
Feedback on your written work
When a course calls for written work, you upload your assignment and a member of our staff reviews it directly — it isn't auto-graded. It comes back with comments and a score, both visible in your portal, and you'll get an email notification when the grade is posted.
We aim to return graded assignments within a few working days, though this can vary with course load.
