Known Issues

RoboKind is in the process of releasing some new lesson content and customers may notice that we have begun to update our lesson module structure and lesson lists around this change, for example the Group Lesson Preview module is being deprecated and merged with introductory lessons, and the RoboQuiz assessment lessons are being split out from the other introductory lessons.

If you see a brand new lesson that is not working just yet, please stand by for exciting announcements in the very near future.
