How to use the studio

A walk through the study page, the session builder, the timer, the journal and the atlas, in the order a new reader meets them.

Start with one study

Open a study from the curriculum on the home page. The picture is a live model: drag it to turn it, use the camera buttons for the three-quarter, front, side and overhead views, and focus it to rotate with the arrow keys. Under the picture, Play runs the four second loop, the numbered buttons jump to one authored position each, and the slider scrubs by hand. The cue on the picture follows the loop; switch it off if it is in the way.

To the right, the movement notes give four phases and a Watch for note for the action on screen. Below them, the study's own section lists its phases, three common faults, why it matters, a drill prescription and its scope. Every phase in that list is a button: it moves the model to that beat and position, so the words and the picture stay together.

Build a session

Press Add to my session on any study and it becomes a block in the builder, with work, rest and repeats you can change. The starting plans are the same thing already filled in; load one and edit it. Save a plan and it appears under your saved sessions. Print session card gives a sheet for the mat.

The three four-week progressions lay out three or four sessions a week using the starting plans. Open one, print the sheet, and tick the days as they are done. They are schedules of the solo work only.

Run the timer

Start this session opens the player. Space pauses and resumes. The model plays the block's movements in turn, the ring fills through the round, and a bell marks each change. Switching away pauses the clock and says so; writing a note mid round pauses it too. Keep the tab visible. At the end, the journal gets an entry with the minutes counted.

Keep the journal

The journal takes a title, a date, minutes, an effort rating and a note. A study or a running session can write into it with one button. Export it as CSV, or export a complete backup from Settings, which includes plans and favourites and carries a checksum so a damaged file is refused.

Use the atlas

The atlas is five positions with one question each and a solo study attached to each. It is a map of learning relationships, not of physical transitions. Take the question to class; write the answer down.

For the honest boundary of all of this, read what this app is not. For the words, the glossary.
