⏯️ Pausing and Saving Simulations

Updated this week

🧠 Can I Pause an Immersive Practicum Lab and Come Back Later?

Yes, you can exit a Genius Academy experience and resume progress at any time. Upon resuming your experience, you can opt to start over from the beginning, or pick up where you left off.

⚠️ Important: How to Save Your Progress

When you’re ready to finish an experience, make sure you fully exit by clicking the ❌ (X) in the top corner of the window. This step is what actually saves your progress.

🔄 Refreshing the page will not save your work.

If you only refresh, your progress could be lost. To be safe, always close the experience window completely before moving on.

🧭 How Can I Tell How Long an Experience Is?

Each experience is made up of multiple submissions (individual parts of your response journey). The total number of submissions can vary—some experiences are as short as 2 submissions, while others may have up to 15, depending on the learning goals.

Once you launch an experience, you'll see a progress indicator in the bottom left corner of the screen. This will show you how many submissions there are in total and where you are in the flow. For example:

  • 2/9 means you're on submission 2 of 9

  • 1/5 means you’ve just started a 5-part experience

This is the best way to estimate how far along you are and how much time you may need.

✅ Before Starting, We Recommend:

  • Finding a quiet, uninterrupted space

  • Setting aside at least one hour to complete the full experience

  • Making sure your internet connection is stable
