Online student progress tracking, so everyone is on the same page

The paper logbook stays in the glovebox. Everything else — what you taught, what was covered, what still needs work — lives in the platform, and your student can check it from their phone whenever they want.

The problem with paper

A paper logbook is a snapshot of one lesson taken at a time. It does not show a student where they are in the twelve-lesson EDT syllabus at a glance. It does not show them which modules are still ahead. It does not show their mum, who is funding all this, what value she is getting for the money. And it does not show you, on the morning of a lesson, where this student is and what would be most useful to cover next.

Digital progress fills in that picture. Every lesson you teach gets tagged against a programme — EDT, IBT, or one of your own programmes — and the modules within that programme tick off as you cover them. Both you and the student see the same view.

How programmes work

A programme is an ordered list of modules with a name and a description. EDT and IBT are programme templates that YourADI ships out of the box; you can use them as-is or customise the module list to match how you actually teach. School owners and solo instructors can also create their own programmes from scratch (a pre-test refresher, an advanced manoeuvres course, a motorway-confidence series — whatever you want).

Each module inside a programme carries:

  • A name and a description of what is covered.
  • An order number, so modules tick off in a sensible sequence.
  • A completion date when the module is finished.
  • A pass / needs-retry flag, so you can mark a module as covered but not yet competent.

What your students see

From their portal, students see every programme they are enrolled in, the modules inside it, what is ticked off, and an overall percentage progress. They can also see the individual lessons that contributed to each module, and any notes you added.

The portal works on a phone. Most students check it on the way to their lesson, or in the kitchen the night after. They do not need to install anything.

What you see

From the dashboard, you see the same view per-student. When you open a student's record you can see their active programmes, their lesson history against each one, your own notes, and a quick way to mark off modules as they are covered.

How to set it up

  1. Open Settings → Programmes and review the default EDT and IBT programme templates. Edit the module list to match how you actually teach, or leave them as the default if you teach to the standard syllabus.
  2. After each lesson, open the student's record from the dashboard, mark off the modules you covered, and tick the pass or needs-retry flag depending on how the student got on. Add notes to the lesson while it's fresh.
  3. When you sign the paper logbook, the same picture is already on the dashboard in front of you. The student then sees their progress refresh in their portal.

Common questions

Do I have to use the platform's programmes?

No. Progress tracking is optional, on a per-lesson basis. If you prefer to keep everything in the paper logbook, nothing forces you to tag lessons against a programme. Most instructors find the visibility worth the few extra taps.

Can I run custom programmes alongside EDT and IBT?

Yes. EDT and IBT are templates; you can also create your own programmes for the parts of your teaching that go beyond the standard syllabus.

What if a student is doing both EDT and IBT?

A student can be enrolled in multiple programmes at the same time. Their portal shows progress across all of them.
