Custom Lessons

Overview

Custom lessons let you go beyond Memorization, Revision, and Attached. Design your own lesson types — Tajwīd evaluations, fluency tests, vocabulary drills — with whatever fields you need.

When to use a custom lesson

• You evaluate a skill that doesn't fit the standard types (e.g., articulation, makharij).
• You want to track a structured curriculum unit.
• You want a recurring quiz or assessment with consistent fields.

Designing a custom lesson

1. Open "Custom Lessons → New lesson"

2. Name and describe

   Give it a clear name (e.g., "Tajwīd evaluation") and a short description so other teachers in your organization understand the intent.

3. Add fields

   Common field types:

   • Number — for counts, scores, or durations.
   • Text — short notes (e.g. surah name).
   • Long text — paragraphs of feedback.
   • Dropdown — pick from a fixed list (e.g., grade A/B/C/D).
   • Checkbox — pass/fail or yes/no.
   • Date — schedule fields.

   Mark fields as required when you really need them.

4. Decide visibility

   Who can use this lesson type?

   • Just me — only you, the creator.
   • My class(es) — teachers of those classes.
   • Whole organization — every teacher.

5. Save

   The lesson type appears as a new option when recording.

Recording a custom lesson session

Once a custom lesson is published, it shows up alongside Memorization / Revision / Attached when you record. The flow is identical — pick the lesson, fill in fields, save.

Analyzing custom lesson data

Numeric fields you create are automatically charted on the analysis page (per-student and per-class). Non-numeric fields (text, notes) appear in the record list but aren't charted.

Editing or archiving a lesson type

• Edit — you can rename or add new optional fields. Removing a field that already has data is blocked to protect history.
• Archive — hides it from new record dropdowns without deleting any historical data.
