🚀 What’s New in IMMERSE

We’ve rolled out a major update designed to give you a clearer path to fluency, streamline your progress tracking, and improve your overall learning experience. Let’s dive into what’s new!

🧭 Introducing the New Learning Path

We’ve completely reimagined how your progress is tracked and displayed. Say goodbye to the old point system, stamps, and units—and hello to a more intuitive, theme-based learning journey.

🗺️ A Clearer Path to Fluency

You’ll now see a new Learning Path tab in your Homeroom. This tab shows your progress through a linear sequence of AI Powered self-paced lessons and integrated live classes, making it easier to understand where you are and what’s next.

Self-paced Lessons are grouped by theme.
Live classes associated with your theme will be presented on the Learning Path (and schedule) for those who have access to them.
Prep material for each live Class is still available on the Class Card.

The new system replaces the previous Units, Points, and Stamps approach for a cleaner, more meaningful learning experience.

🔁 See What Changed

Here's a quick look at how things have evolved with the new Learning Path.

Learning Structure
- Before: Units were listed in open menus without clear progression.
- Now: A linear path guides you through themed self-paced lessons and related live classes, helping you track progress easily.
Live Class Access
- Before: Live classes were buried in unit menus and separate schedules.
- Now: Live classes appear directly alongside related self-paced lessons in your Learning Path.
Progress Tracking
- Before: Progress used a point system with varying values.
- Now: Progress is tracked by:
  - Number of self-paced lessons completed
  - Number of live classes taken
  - [Corporate Only] Total hours attended in the past 30 days
Assessments
- Before: A simple form-based survey with minimal feedback.
- Now: Redesigned in-app assessments feature an AI avatar and integrated speaking practice.
Gamified Features
- Before: Users earned stamps and badges for completing units.
- Now: These features have been retired in favor of a streamlined view of real progress.

💭 How will my previous progress show in this new model?

Don’t worry. If you've taken a live class before this update that matches a new Self-Paced Lesson, that lesson will be [marked complete with a blue check] and count toward your overall level progress.

🧑‍🎓 Standalone Self-Paced Lessons

Our new self-paced lessons are here! These include:

Intro – Learn the focus of the lesson
Listen – Hear native-like usage
Practice – Try it yourself
Apply – Interact with an AI tutor to use what you learned

🎓 Self-Paced Lessons are designed for flexible, independent learning at your pace.

📈 Updated Progress Tracking

We’ve redesigned the Home tab in Homeroom to show separate metrics:

Self-Paced Lesson Progress: tracked as a percentage through your current level.
Live Classes Attended: total of all classes from any level in the past 30 days.
Learning Hours: total time in the app (Corporate Learners only).

💭 Why can’t I see my Learning Hours?

For Business learners, you’ll see all three metrics. Non-business learners will see lesson progress and live class attendance only.
