From lesson plans to a reliable lesson history

Keep planned, completed and cancelled lessons distinct so each learner’s history stays useful.

Record the plan first, the outcome afterwards

A lesson appearing in the calendar does not prove it happened. Treat the plan and its outcome as separate information. The plan tells you who you will work with and when; the lesson record describes what actually happened.

Suppose you schedule a Tuesday lesson from 17:00 to 17:45. Mark the outcome as completed after teaching it. If it moves to another time, update the plan instead of leaving the original slot as completed. If the lesson will not happen, use its cancellation state. This keeps calendar gaps separate from delivered lessons.

Keep the learner, day and time together

Choose the correct learner before creating the plan. Check the date and both start and end times together: different days can share the same lesson time. When working with a weekly schedule, check the dates covered by the week, not just the weekday names.

After changing a time, check both the calendar and the information you share with the learner. If a record belongs to a different person, changing its title alone will not fix the learner context.

  • Before the lesson: learner, date, time and topic.
  • After the lesson: actual outcome and a short note for next time.
  • At the end of the week: unresolved outcomes and changed times.

Adding a past lesson later

Leaving today’s date on a lesson that happened yesterday makes both the history and period summaries misleading. Enter the real date and time of a past lesson. The time you create a record is not necessarily the time the lesson happened.

A brief note is enough: “Reviewed fraction comparison; practise word problems next time.” Avoid unnecessary private information or sensitive assessments about the learner. The purpose is to preserve useful context for the next session.

An incorrect entry is different from a cancellation

A duplicate created by mistake is not the same as a real lesson that was planned but will not happen. Use deletion for an incorrect entry and cancellation for a genuine plan that has been called off. Check the learner and date before deleting, and review any associated payment or notes.

Before adding the same lesson again, look for it in the learner’s history. Checking by person and date reduces confusion between lessons with similar titles.

Using this approach in Rehberlix

Use the lesson-planning action on the home screen to create a plan. For a lesson that has already taken place, use the action for recording a completed lesson. Open the relevant learner’s details to review history, or the records and payments section from the quick menu. Available actions depend on your selected role and purpose.

A reminder does not mean a lesson has been completed. Check app and device notification permissions separately, and review your daily schedule rather than relying on a single reminder.
