Course Activities

Navigation

If your school purchased access to Horizon Course Activities, a tab will show up on your left navigation bar. Clicking here will take you to a landing page with all of the classes you are assigned to as a Primary or Secondary Teacher. Activities are assigned at the class level, and viewable via the Course Activities button for the class you wish to assign an activity to.

Course Activities Content

Teachers/Admins will be directed to a landing page that houses all of the Horizon created lessons and activities. Every course section houses corresponding lessons. Students will only be able to view lessons that have been assigned by their coursework teacher. Each lesson provides an overview of estimated Instructional Time and Independent Lesson Time, assisting teachers in the coursework planning process. ‍ Independent Lessons include instructional text and activities for students to gain a deep understanding of the topic area. Once students complete assigned activities, Teachers/Admins are able to view an Item Analysis report.

Most course lessons also have a corresponding Practice Set of questions available for students to gain more experience with the lesson's content area. Once students complete assigned practice sets, Teachers/Admins are able to view an Item Analysis report.

Each lesson comes with a corresponding Google Slides Presentation, which can either be reviewed with the assistance of an instructor or navigated independently by the student.

Each lesson also comes along with a Support Video, which provides a detailed overview of each slide in the Google Slide Presentation by a master Horizon Education instructor.
