Set and collect assignments without a WhatsApp group
In ClassTablet a teacher writes an assignment in a classroom, adds instructions, files, a rubric and a due date, then publishes it. Students get a notification in the app and submit by typing, sharing a link or uploading a file of up to 25 MB. Anything handed in after the due date is marked as late.
Creating an assignment and a student handing it in each have their own page below. They cover what you can do in the app today, nothing more.
Features in this area
- Two minutes spoken beats two lines typed
Record a voice note straight from the submission screen, or upload an audio file you made earlier. Students hear it once the grade is published.
- The confirmation says what goes before it goes
Remove an assignment created by mistake from the editor's menu. The confirmation says plainly that the submissions go too and it cannot be undone.
- Reuse the assignment instead of retyping it
An assignment written for one batch does not have to be typed again. Duplicate it from the menu and ClassTablet opens the copy's own editor.
- Fix one note without redoing the marking
Got the label wrong? Change just the label. Said the wrong thing? Delete that note instead. The other notes on the submission are untouched.
- No scrolling back through messages for the instructions
The submit page carries the assignment's title, teacher, due date and full instructions, along with the rubric and any files the teacher attached.
- Move to the next student without going back to a list
The submissions page loads the assignment and all of its submissions together, so a teacher moves from one student to the next without returning to a list.
- The list says what is still to be handed in
The classroom's assessment list holds assignments and quizzes together, filtered by all, upcoming, needs review, draft, submitted or graded.
- Write an assignment, add a rubric, publish in one click
Write the instructions, attach files, set a rubric with marks per criterion and a due date. Publish and the class is notified, and you can still edit it later.
- Students hand in assignments straight from the app
Students hand in assignments from a phone or computer by uploading a PDF or Word file, typing or sharing a link. They see a due-date countdown and the teacher.
- Grade against the rubric, with no save button to remember
Open one submission, score each rubric criterion, set the overall mark and write feedback. Everything saves itself a moment after you stop typing.
