After a student is enrolled in a class, they have full access to that subject, meaning students can immediately practice on their own. As a teacher, your only job is to monitor student progress on your classroom dashboard.
TIP: Set an expectation that students answer "x # of questions" a week to provide some direction. This could be done by creating an assignment in onCampus. If you want to use Albert practice questions as assessment. You will need to put all of the questions into an unpublished assignment so student do not have access to the questions.
