# What students see in RootWright LMS

Students learn in the course player. It opens from **Continue Learning** on the course page, or from their dashboard. This page follows a student through a course, using a demo student account.

## 1. The course page

An enrolled student sees **Continue Learning** in the price box on the course page.

*Enrolled students see Continue Learning in place of the enroll action.*

## 2. The course player

The course player has a sidebar and a main area.

*The course overview: lessons complete, Start course and the module list.*

* **Sidebar.** Lists the modules with a count of complete lessons, and each lesson with its icon.
* **Progress card.** Shows "N of M lessons complete" and a percentage.
* **Start course** opens the first lesson.
* **My grades** in the top bar shows the student's results.
* **Write a Review** appears under the course description.

## 3. A lesson

*A lesson. The module expands to show each lesson, and the current lesson is highlighted.*

Each lesson shows its title, its type badge and its content. Under the content are:

* **Your notes**, a private note for the lesson.
* **My recall questions**, the recall items for the course.
* **Previous lesson** and **Next lesson** buttons.
* **Mark complete** at the top right. See [Lesson completion](/learning/lesson-completion) for the open issue with this button on the 1.0.0 build.

## 4. Quizzes

Quizzes open as their own lesson. Students answer each question and submit. Results follow the feedback setting in the quiz. See [Create a quiz](/quizzes/create-a-quiz).

## 5. Grades and certificates

**My grades** lists the student's scores. Certificates appear in the student's account when they are issued. See [Certificates](/certificates/student-certificates).
