Getting started¶
What a learner does, in the order they meet it.
1. Sign in¶
There is no registration form and no PedsHub password. Sign in hands you to
sso.pedshub.com, which asks for your address and emails you a code; typing it
there brings you back signed in. An administrator issues the invitation from
the sign-in service itself.
Your name, address, passkey and second factor are all managed there, not here. See Signing in.
2. Say what you are studying for¶
Settings → Studying for (/settings?s=study) picks one of the exams the
site has been given.
It is not a label. The choice changes four things:
- which views of an article you are shown — an exam may restrict article
variants to
short,clinicalor any subset, and the server filters the sections before they reach you - how an adaptive session is weighted — the exam's blueprint weights scale each topic's priority
- what recommendations think is relevant — the same weights are the
relevanceterm - which of your past attempts count towards the ranking
Material linked to no exam at all stays visible whatever you pick. You can change it whenever you like; nothing is recomputed destructively.
3. The dashboard¶
/ is four things and deliberately not more:
| Block | Is |
|---|---|
| The search bar | Search the library, or ask AI Mode. Ctrl+K opens it from anywhere. |
| Ready for you | A session already planned for you — topics, counts, length. How it is built. |
| Continue | Whatever you left half-finished. |
| Where you stand | One ring: your most recent answer to each question you have answered. |
With no answers behind it the ring is replaced by three doors — read first,
follow a plan, ask a question — rather than a shelf of dashes. The trend chart,
the completion tiles and the focus-area table are all on
/sessions and stay there, so there is one place to read each
figure rather than two that can disagree.
4. Where everything lives¶
The menu, in its own order:
| Menu | Address | Is |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard | / |
The above. |
| AI Mode | /ai |
The library-grounded chat. |
| Sessions | /sessions |
Every sitting, and the analysis across all of them. |
| Qbank | /question-bank |
Browse the bank by topic and tag, and build a session from what you find. |
| Collections | /collections |
Your shelves of articles and figures. |
| Study plans | /study-plans |
Assigned routes through the material. |
| Reading | /articles |
The article library. |
| Cards | /flashcards |
Decks and the daily queue. |
Under your name: Settings and Help. Educators additionally see Questions, Images and Editorial; those are editorial surfaces and a learner never sees them.
/study/new is not in the menu — you reach the session
builder from the Qbank or from the dashboard.
5. Sit something¶
Two ways in, and they are different acts:
- Ready for you, or any session from the builder, in study or exam mode.
- Today's cards at
/flashcards/study— everything due across every shared deck, plus up to 20 new ones.
What the session itself offers you — the rail, the lab table, the calculator, notes, the attending tip — is In a session. What happens afterwards is After a session.
6. Keep your own marks¶
Four separate things, easy to confuse:
| You want | Use | Where it shows up |
|---|---|---|
| To meet this question again | ★ Favourite (or B in a session) | The builder's state=bookmarked filter |
| To come back and read this article | Collections | /collections |
| To write something down about one question | The ✎ Notes panel in the session | Only you ever see it |
| To write something down about one article section | The section note on the article | Only you ever see it |
A question is marked; an article is shelved. The split is deliberate: you come back and read an article, and you come back and sit a question.
7. Tell somebody it is wrong¶
Every question carries ⚑ Give feedback behind the ⋯ menu in a session, and every article has a feedback panel. It is a private report to whoever maintains that material — not a comment thread — and you can read the reply. See Feedback for what happens to it.
