The teacher can print a report card for each student and/or review his/her Learning Route visually. The Home Version, of course, does not include this feature; only School Version has it. As for students having difficulty understanding a concept they are automatically provided with additional questions structured to assist them in their problem area. Students who have little or no difficulty may complete the module in fewer steps. Each student's experience with the program will be different but the ultimate learning outcome will be the same. At last, some smart designers have understood the education/teacher needs. Bob
