Lesson Studio & StudyGo books
The studio runs steadily; the work moved to publishing, and to quality.
A short one. Not much changed in the studio itself. The books went live in the By the book channel, the first teacher feedback came in, and today we pilot a high-fidelity Nectar lesson. Image credit: Minh Đức / Unsplash

By the book is live
426 lessons from 14 books, one lesson per paragraph, on production.
In the channel
Biologie: 143 (BvJ 4/5 havo, Nectar 4/5 havo)
Geschiedenis: 118 (Memo 1–3, Feniks 1)
Aardrijkskunde: 165 (buiteNLand 1–3, De Geo 1–3)
How it looks
Every folder has a cover and a description; the book cards use the publisher covers.
The lessons live in the channel only, and stay out of search on purpose.
Biology went first on 5 October, history on 6 October, geography on 8 October. History and geography each got their own look (Museum and Hoogtelijnen), picked from five style directions rendered in one lesson.

First feedback: mixed
One biology teacher (Biologie voor jou), scores out of 5.
What landed
Fits the method: 4/5
Subject content: 3/5
Lesson structure: 3/5
No factual errors, terms or level problems
Would share with colleagues, "with reservations"
What didn't
Too much text, too little interaction and media.
More terms explained
Explainer videos
Links to Binas
More practice with exam questions
One response so far, so a signal, not a verdict. The form stays open.

Today: a high-fidelity Nectar pilot
The feedback asked for more visuals. Today's pilot tries the real book's.
So far
Lessons echo a method's palette, type and layout, built from StudyGo's content.
No images, logos or text from the publisher.
The pilot
A Nectar 4 havo lesson built from the real book PDF: its banner, panels and figures.
Is it visibly better, and worth it?
Using the book's own look and figures goes past our house rule of echoing a method's style without its assets, so this is a deliberate test of that rule, not a new default. Whether we may use it is a question for StudyGo.

Studio: small but steady
Desktop app
0.2.5 → 0.2.8.
Push
Sends subject, school type, level and age; keeps what it published per LessonUp environment.
Lesson DSL
Emoji polls, a fill-in-the-blank's answer area, the font size of an mcq's answers.
Checking
Warns when a slide still shows a template placeholder.
Speed
Stays quick with hundreds of lessons in the workfolder.
The per-environment mapping means a lesson pushed to team-c and to production keeps both ids, so a re-push updates the right one.

Next
Still to come: teachers review the lessons, DSL and studio go into PRs.
Done since last time
StudyGo API: pulls now go per stream, so a summary belongs to one book
StudyGo content team: feedback sent for the biology and geography books
Next up
Decide on the Nectar pilot
More feedback from teachers
Act on it: less text, more interaction and media
The stream_id was on hold last time; a stream is a level (havo, vwo, …) and is stable, so pulls now pass it.
