Mission Control

Signed in, the platform stops being a library and starts being yours: what you are learning, what you have saved, the careers you are chasing, and what happened in the world today that connects to any of it.

What would be on it

Six modules, each of which has to earn its place by saving a student a decision rather than by filling a dashboard.

  • Continue

    Where you left off

    The lesson you stopped mid-way through, with the chapter around it, so resuming takes one click rather than a search.

  • Next

    What to learn next

    Recommendations drawn from the prerequisite graph the courses already carry — not from what other people watched.

  • Saved

    Careers you are chasing

    Built. A shortlist of profiles with the routes in, so a fourteen-year-old can compare an apprenticeship against a degree side by side. Sign in and it appears at the top of this page.

  • Today

    What happened in the world

    Discover, filtered to the fields you actually follow, with the connection to what you are studying made explicit.

  • Progress

    What you have finished

    Chapters completed and concepts covered. Deliberately not a streak, a score or a badge — this is a record, not a game.

  • Classroom

    For teachers

    A cohort view for a teacher running Mach 9 material in lessons, with the same records at class level.

Static mock Every string in that panel is hard-coded. There is no account behind it, nothing is being tracked, and the progress bar is a fixed width.

What has to exist first

In order. None of these can be built before the one above it, which is why personalisation is last rather than first.
