When someone creates a school in Lena, they choose what kind of school it is: University, K-12 or Other (training centres, tutoring and anything else). Lena then uses that kind of school’s words everywhere, for everyone at the school. You can’t change the kind later.

​
The words

Some examples of how they read together:
  • University: “Introduction to Psychology” (PSY 101), Department of Psychology, Faculty of Social Sciences, 100 Level, first semester, taught by a lecturer.
  • K-12: “Mathematics”, JSS 2 in arm A (written “JSS 2A”), second term, taught by a teacher.
  • Other: a program such as Data Analysis, inside a cohort for this year’s intake, split into groups, taught by an instructor.

​
Words that don’t change

Assignments, quizzes, exams, grades, discussions, announcements, study materials and the calendar have the same names everywhere. So do the roles on a course (Owner, Teacher, Assistant, Student assistant) and the roles at a school (Superadmin, Academic admin, Non-academic admin). On a course, Teacher is the role of anyone who teaches it, whatever the school calls them.
This site uses the university words: course, lecturer, faculty, department, level and semester. If your school is K-12 or another kind, read them as your own words from the table above. Pages point out the differences where they matter.
