I received a notification in vimbot, does this mean that the student wants to start a marathon

Notifications in the vimbote notify you when the student has completed 6 or more classes, and therefore he/she is potentially ready to go through a marathon. You can offer her/him this activity and tell in detail about the marathon and its benefits.

Students receive similar notifications with information about the marathon, and if they decide to take part in it, they will definitely tell you about this in the lesson / write in your usual channel of communication (skype, facebook, telegram, etc.)
