OptiLearn

If you're signed in as a parent — that is, your account in OptiCRM is a parent contact rather than a student — the OptiLearn mobile app shows you a different layout designed around your child's progress, not your own coursework. This page covers what's different and how to get around.

How the app knows you're a parent

When you sign in, the app reads your account type from your session. Parent contacts (those linked to one or more children in OptiCRM) automatically see parent mode. There's no toggle to switch between parent and student views — your account type decides.

If your account is somehow set up incorrectly, contact your school's admin office to fix it in OptiCRM. The mobile app will pick up the change next time you sign in.

In parent mode, the bottom nav has four tabs:

Home — overview of your linked children with quick stats
Children — per-child detail screens
Alerts — your notifications (graded work, missed classes, low grades, weekly digests)
Me — profile, language, settings, sign out

Compare this with the student layout (Home / Learn / Reviews / Me) — same idea, different focus.

Home screen

The Home screen shows a summary card for each child linked to your account:

Child's name, photo, class and section
Quick stats: enrolled course count, current streak, points
A button to open the child's full detail screen

If you have only one child, the Home screen jumps straight to their detail.

Per-child detail

Tap a child to see their full at-a-glance dashboard:

Enrolled courses with progress bars
Recent grades (last 10 graded assignments)
Upcoming assignments with due dates
Live class attendance for the current month — attended, missed, attendance %
Certificates earned
Gamification — current streak, total points, badges

Everything is read-only. You can see what your child is doing but you can't enroll them in courses, take quizzes for them, or submit work on their behalf — those are student actions.

Alerts

The Alerts tab is your notification inbox. The kinds of notifications parents receive include:

Child graded — your child's assignment was graded by an instructor
Child missed a live class — your child was absent from a scheduled live class
Low grade alert — your child's average in a course has fallen below the passing threshold
Weekly progress digest — a weekly email summarising every child's progress

You can manage which of these you receive (and how) under Me → Settings → Notifications — see Parent notifications for the full list.

Me tab

The same as the student app's Me tab, just with parent-specific sections:

Profile — your name, email, phone (read-only on phone / email; admin-managed)
Children linked — read-only list of the children attached to your account
Language — switch between English and हिन्दी
Settings → Notifications — preferences page
Sign out

What you can't do as a parent

By design, parent mode is read-only. You cannot:

Enroll your child in a course
Take a lesson, quiz, or assignment for them
Post in course discussions
Submit assignments on their behalf
Add or remove children from your account (only your school admin can do that in OptiCRM)
See other parents' children

The intent is observability, not interference. If you need to take an action — say, request your child be enrolled in a specific course — talk to your school's admin office.

Note

Children can't see what their parent sees, and vice-versa. Each side has their own login, their own dashboard, and their own notifications. Parent and child accounts are separate.

Tips

Check Alerts daily during exam season. Low-grade and missed-class notifications are most useful when you act on them quickly.
Use the weekly digest as your default if you find daily alerts overwhelming.
Switch language to हिन्दी if you're more comfortable reading in Hindi — every parent screen is fully translated.
Verify children linkages once a year. If your school adds a new child to your account or removes one, you should see the change reflected the next time you sign in.
