The start page

The start page collects what is coming up: courses whose retention deadline has been reached, paused sessions and your semester playlists with the point where you continue. This guide shows each card and what its buttons do.

  1. 1

    The start page at a glance

    Step 1 of 7

    After launch, LehrPuls opens the Start page. It only shows cards that have something to say right now — an empty start page means nothing is due. From top to bottom: the retention deadline of a course, paused sessions and the semester playlists. Entries from the bundled samples carry the label Sample.

    Retention deadline reached

    Step 2 of 7

    When a course reaches its retention deadline, an orange card reminds you. Delete now removes the names of the participants after a confirmation; the answers are kept anonymously as statistics. Remind me in 30 days postpones the deadline. You set the deadline itself in the course dialog under Courses & Participants.

    Paused sessions

    Step 3 of 7

    A session you have paused in the live view waits here with its date, the number of participants and the questions done. Resume opens it again — participants join with the same code, and their previous answers are kept. End closes it for good; its answers are then in Analytics.

    Semester playlists: where to continue

    Step 4 of 7

    Each semester playlist is listed with the line up next — the section where the next class begins. Open jumps into the playlist and opens the start dialog for exactly that point right away. The archive icon puts away a playlist you no longer need; a click on Undo brings it back.

    Open leads to the start dialog

    Step 5 of 7

    After Open the playlist is shown, and the start dialog for the next section is already open: choose the join mode, the connection and the course, then start. What happens next is shown in the guide Running a session.

    A new version is available

    Step 6 of 7

    When a new version is released, the start page announces it at the very top. Go to download page opens lehrpuls.com in the browser; your data is kept when you update. Hide hides the notice until the next program start. How often LehrPuls checks is set under Settings → Updates.

    Getting started on first launch

    Step 7 of 7

    On the very first launch, a short Getting started guide explains the way from the topic via the playlist to the session. It appears only once; under Settings → Getting started you can open it again at any time.
