Your evidence

Opening a lesson records exposure. Reaching its last step records lesson completion. First-try answers and independent practice are separate records. Guided work, answers after feedback, later recall and self-review are recorded separately. Counts may overlap. These are practice records, not verified mastery or an exam score.

Plans, evidence and saved lesson positions stay in this browser on this device. Writing and recordings are not stored here. Clearing browser data removes these records; signing in does not sync them. A matching saved position lets you resume, including on a later day; daily practice answers still start fresh.

Share practice evidence

If you choose to share, this separate file contains unit identifiers, content versions, activity types, objective identifiers and times. It excludes your goals, answers, drafts, recordings and account details. The teacher's local review tool can read it; the private plan download above is for your own backup.
