Learning tasks

Turn on Use Learning Tasks in Settings → Family Settings. That adds Settings → Learning, where you fill in the profiles Spark uses.

The family profile sets which resource types are allowed (video, article, practice plan, sheet music), plus blocked sites and blocked topics. Each child's profile lists interests, goals, current level, and limits like “ten minutes on school nights.”

A few lines per child is enough.

Learning tasks start as a child's proposal. The child describes what they want to learn, and Spark can shape it into a draft with a subject, goal, time estimate, proof checklist, and a few links. The child can use the draft, change it, or ignore it.

It then comes to your Review queue like any other proposal.

Spark only returns links that pass your filters, and at most three per task. Blocked sites never appear. A blocked topic stops Spark from suggesting tasks in that area at all.

You can hide a link from the child on the task's detail page until you've checked it.

Practice doesn't leave a clean counter behind, so the proof checklist does the work. “Record one minute of the song” or “show me the finished dish” gives you something to approve.

Update a child's profile when they move up a level. Old profiles produce old suggestions.
