WEBVTT - Circles explained — Mandarin Temple guide

00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:04.390
Hi, I’m Jason, Mandarin Temple’s AI tutor.

2
00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:07.728
A circle is your class on Mandarin Temple.

3
00:00:07.768 --> 00:00:11.750
Here’s how to start one, shown on
a demonstration teacher’s account.

4
00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:15.196
All your circles are on one page.

5
00:00:15.236 --> 00:00:19.870
Each card shows what kind it is, its level, and who’s in it.

6
00:00:20.833 --> 00:00:23.673
Select New circle for a short form.

7
00:00:23.713 --> 00:00:29.343
For a class you teach, choose a Learning
Circle, the kind built for teaching.

8
00:00:29.900 --> 00:00:35.131
It’s private by default, with a roster,
assignments and a shared timeline.

9
00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:39.370
A Community Circle is an open topic space instead.

10
00:00:39.933 --> 00:00:46.203
Give it a name and, if you like, an HSK
level and a sentence about what it’s for.

11
00:00:46.767 --> 00:00:50.567
Private means invite-only and out of the directory.

12
00:00:50.607 --> 00:00:53.597
You can make it unlisted or public instead.

13
00:00:54.133 --> 00:00:59.283
Creating a circle costs fifty credits,
and the form says who pays:

14
00:00:59.333 --> 00:01:03.523
a school’s class uses the school’s balance first.

15
00:01:05.267 --> 00:01:10.977
Here’s one already running: its members,
and a timeline of the circle’s milestones.

16
00:01:11.433 --> 00:01:18.583
And because it’s a Learning Circle, it opens straight into
the Learning Lab, where you follow each learner’s progress.

17
00:01:19.933 --> 00:01:25.509
That’s a circle: one place for your class,
its homework and its progress.

18
00:01:25.549 --> 00:01:28.603
Next, bring your learners in.
