This interactive guide works best with JavaScript turned on. Here is the text version (41 flows, 350 steps).
1. Your day at a glance
- Your dashboard — Sign in on your phone. The green banner has My classes and Messages; just below, Today lists today’s classes and any not marked yet, each with its button.
- My earnings — The My earnings card shows your balance and what is waiting to be released. Tap Details for the full picture.
2. Qalam, your helper
- Qalam sits in the corner — The pencil in the bottom corner of every screen is Qalam, your helper (bottom left in Urdu). A small red dot means it has a tip for you.
- Tap Qalam — Tap it. A tip for this screen waits at the top. Below are three big buttons: What is this page?, Show me how to… and Find a task.
- What is this page? — What is this page? tells you in a few plain words what the screen is for and the one thing to do on it.
- Show me how to… — Show me how to… lists the jobs for this screen. Choose one — here, marking a class. Qalam rings the button to press and says what to do. Stop ends it.
- Find a task — Find a task: type one word, in English or Urdu — attendance, pay, homework. Tap a result and Qalam shows you the way, or opens the page.
- Quiet, voice and hiding — Only when I tap you keeps Qalam quiet until you tap it. Read aloud plays the office’s recordings. Hide Qalam tucks it away; tap the eraser to bring it back.
3. Easy view
- Today first — When the office turns on Easy view, your home page starts with Today: every class of today, and earlier classes not marked yet, in big writing.
- One big button — Each class has one big button. From 30 minutes before the start it says Join; before that, the row says when it opens. After the class it says Mark.
- Six big tiles — Below are six big tiles: My classes, Students’ work, Lesson files, Messages, My pay and Help. A number shows what is waiting. Help opens Qalam.
- More — More — a tile, and a button on the bottom bar — lists everything else, each with a line saying what it is for. Sign out is at the end.
- The class page — Tap Mark on a class. The choices are big, with a line each — Held: the class took place. Fill in the notes and press Save class.
- The office decides — Only the office can switch Easy view on or off. My profile shows whether it is on. Everything works the same — the screens are just bigger and simpler.

- Open the class — Tap Mark on the class.
- How did the class go? — Choose Held, Student did not come, Student cancelled or I cancelled. Held and "student did not come" both count as taught — a student's absence never cuts your pay. A class you cancel does not earn.
- What you covered — Write what was covered, a short progress note (the student and parents see it) and any homework.
- Saved — earnings released — Tap Save class. The class moves to Recently marked, and your share for it is added to your balance.
5. Attendance and monthly remarks

- Change a mark — and say why — Know better than the Live room? Tap another mark — for example Present for a student who followed by phone. When your mark differs from the Live room, write a short reason. Excused always needs one.
- Save the class — Choose Held at the top and tap Save class. You can change marks for 3 days after the class; after that the office can.

- Saved — Tap Save remarks. You can change a remark until the cards go out.
6. See my attendance report

- Review and share — Tap Review & share. The editor shows the video, a timeline with small pictures of the class, and tools above it.
- Cut the waiting at the start — Long silences are found for you. Under Suggestions, Remove it cuts the minutes before the class really started. The red part on the timeline is removed — drag its ends to adjust, or press Undo.
- Name your chapters — The moment you bookmarked in class is waiting for a name. Tap the pencil and type what that part of the class is about. Students see the chapters as a list and can jump to any of them.
- Links, files and notes at the right moment — Play to a moment, then tap Link, File or Note: a worksheet, a website or a correction. It pops up for students at that moment of the video, and stays in the list of links and files.
- Check the captions and the translation — What you said is written down — and translated into English or Urdu — by one of the institute’s helper computers, usually within a few hours of the class. Students can turn the captions on in either language, read the transcript and search it. Tap a line or its translation to correct it — words underlined in orange were hard to hear. Anything you remove or mute never appears for students.
