Glossary

The words the app uses, and what they cover exactly. The wording shown varies with your kind of school — the equivalents are given.

School structure

TermDefinition
SchoolYour space in Kiteba: your students, your timetable, your settings. It is sealed off from every other school.
LevelHow far along a student is — Year 7, second year, cycle 2. A student holds a single level. Levels can nest inside one another.
Group (or class)Who the student takes lessons with. A student can belong to several groups. The timetable hangs off the group. Called group in a training centre, class elsewhere.
SubjectWhat gets taught. Used by the timetable, assessments and comments.
StudentThe person enrolled. Called trainee in a training centre. Does not necessarily have an account.

Timetable

TermDefinition
Recurring slotThe rule: "Tuesdays 2 to 3 pm, Mathematics, 7B". It is not a lesson, it is what produces them.
SessionAn actual lesson, on a given date. It is what attendance is taken on and what assessments hang off. Called Lesson in a school, Session in a music school or a training centre.
One-off sessionA session created on its own, with no repetition: catch-up, rehearsal, visiting speaker.
Working daysThe days the school is open. An undeclared day accepts no session.
