Two tabs/windows open in Sophia - RizP - 07-27-2020
Just wondering if anyone has had experience with this. You can watch videos on one tab and answer questions on another tab.
BUT.... I have noticed that answering questions in one tab doesn't sync with questions on the other tab. Is this a problem? Could finding out the answer in one tab then then clicking the correct answer in another tab be considered as breaking their "student honor code"?
I'm just trying to get a feel for if it is okay.

I haven't noticed the issue you're describing, so I can't comment on that.
I don't wish to hold myself out as an expert on Sophia's Honor Code. But they do make it very clear that the Challenges and Milestones are open book. With that in mind, it's difficult to imagine how using multiple windows to view the course materials while answering questions would be a violation of the Honor Code.

Yeah, I think the Honor Code is more directed at having other people do the work for you, since it's not proctored.

I'm confused about under what circumstances you'd be doing this. The videos are meant to be watched with each challenge. You have to complete all challenges to be able to take a Milestone. You cannot watch videos about, say, unit 1 while also taking milestone 1 unless you've already completed the challenges. In which case, you've probably already watched the videos at least once.
Since the milestones are open-book, for Statistics I've been watching the videos during the challenges and then using the PDF to refresh/look up terms during the milestone. There just isn't enough time during a milestone to be able to rewatch all the videos in the hopes of finding answers.
