Start here: what Praktikal is for
Praktikal keeps the whole path of a lesson in one place: the materials you make, the lessons you build from them, the sessions you run with a class and the answers that come back.
Four things you do here
Praktikal is built around four steps of a teacher's work, and each has its own place in the sidebar.
Your materials. Everything you create, upload or take from others is kept in My materials. Folders keep one topic together.
Lessons. A lesson is an arrangement of materials: slides, worksheets and questions in the order the class will meet them. Adding a worksheet to a lesson does not copy it. The worksheet stays in My materials and can sit in other lessons too.
Running it. From a lesson, Present runs it with a class, either live or as an assignment students complete in their own time.
What comes back. Answers arrive while students work. Choice questions are checked automatically; written answers wait for you in Grading.
Your first lesson, start to finish
Open My materials. If you already have worksheets on a topic, click New folder, name it, then use Select and File to… to put them in it.
Click Create new and choose Lesson. The lesson opens with one empty module; click the title to name it.
Hover inside the module and click the +. The Repository tab finds worksheets you already have; New makes a fresh one.
Put the items in the order the lesson runs: drag them by their handle, or use the arrows on it.
Click Present to set up a session, for example as an assignment with a time window, or Present now to start straight away. Students join with the code the session shows.
During the session, open Results on a question to watch the answers arrive.
Afterwards, open Grading in the sidebar. Read the written answers, give points and a comment, then click Finish Grading to publish the results to students.
Tips
Build a material once and reuse it. A worksheet placed in two lessons is one worksheet, so a correction reaches both. When you edit it, Praktikal asks whether to Change everywhere or Change here only.
Keep one topic per folder. Folders are yours alone, and one material can sit in several of them.
Try the whole path with something small first: one module and two worksheets are enough.
Each step has its own guide in this help section, with a short video.
