TL;DR; Summary by Kiril

We've started working on restructuring levels A1, A2 and 1.0 with a few restructured lessons there. The old ones were too large. We've also published a and completed a few lessons for Learn At home - These are the Turtle, Motorcycle and Comet.

A big improvement on the part of the platform is the ability to see where in which course and in which lesson is a given material and tutorial used. We've almost finalized Groups-1.0 and it is possible to administer your groups through the fllcasts platform.
