Student guide
How to book, pay for and follow your lessons on a teacher's Aula site.
Your teacher or school has its own Aula site. You use it to book lessons, join them, message your teacher, do homework and practise vocabulary. This guide is the same for every site.
Create your account
Open your teacher's site
Use the address your teacher sent you, for example ana.aula.sferarc.com. The Help link in the footer opens this guide; a teacher on the Pro plan can remove it along with the Aula footer, in which case ask your teacher for the link.
Create an account
Choose Sign in in the header, then Create an account. You need a name, an email address and a password. If the page offers Continue with Google or Continue with Apple, you can use that account instead. On a site with its own domain, signing in this way passes through the site's address under aula.sferarc.com and asks you to Continue to the site's domain, so you choose where your account signs in. The account works on your teacher's site. Teachers you book with can see your name, email, time zone, lessons, homework, vocabulary, progress, credits and plans, and the site's owners and admins can see every student. Messages stay between you and your teacher unless one of you reports one; the site's owners and admins, and possibly Aula, then see a copy.
Book a lesson
Open a teacher's profile or lesson and choose a time. See Booking a lesson.
Your student area
After you sign in, My lessons in the header opens your student area. It has these sections:
Lessons
Upcoming and past lessons, and the join button.
Homework
What to do and what you handed in.
Vocabulary
Words to practise, with spaced repetition.
Progress
Your lessons, homework and vocabulary in one place.
Credits
Packages and monthly plans.
Messages
Write to your teacher.
Home, the first section, brings them together for the learner you are acting as: lessons and class meetings from now to the end of the seventh day after today, the next one marked, each with its room and centre or the word Online; homework still to hand in, soonest due first; how many messages you have not read; and how many lessons you attended and missed, with the latest three. When you act as yourself, it also shows this month's class fees and your direct debit, as the family home does. A parent switched to a child sees only that child's week and homework, never the fees.
