Offline Lessons

With Teamie android app, you can access and read your lessons offline, i.e, even without any internet connection!

When you go offline with Teamie Android app, the lesson data will be downloaded to your phone's internal memory. Any progress you make while you are offline are stored locally. Next time, when you will come online and access that lesson, the changes will be synchronized with the online lessons.

  • Logging out of the Teamie Android app will remove any downloaded lessons. Although, updating the app from the Play Store will not remove your downloaded lessons.
  • If the content security mode is enabled on your Teamie site, then the offline lessons setting will be disabled. This means that you will not see the option to make a lesson available offline. Moreover, you will not see the option of 'Offline lessons' under the MORE menu option.

SCORM lessons cannot be downloaded for offline use.

    If you find a chair, sit on it. Chairs function as game save files. Note that the game does not save automatically. It only saves when you travel to a different level or sit down in a chair. Keep this in mind as you prepare to exit the game. flagle
