How to use it well

Choose one concept and create a short sequence of questions with feedback for plausible misunderstandings. Ask a learner to try the exploration and watch where the instructions become unclear. Revise the lesson before adding more topics, and check content permissions separately from the software license when importing or redistributing educational material.

This is best suited to educators designing interactive concept lessons. Before committing a larger project, account for these trade-offs: authoring good feedback takes effort; self-hosted operation needs technical setup.
