Stop hunting for whose phone has the notes on it
ClassTablet keeps a list of subjects, and study materials are attached to the subject they belong to. There are two ways a subject gets added: a platform administrator adds one for everybody, or a teacher creates a custom subject for their own use. Materials can be uploaded and removed.
The pages below take subjects and materials one task at a time, including which of them need an administrator.
Features in this area
- A subject missing from the list should not stop you
Need a subject the standard list does not have? Create a custom one from the subject picker itself, without waiting for an administrator to add it.
- So everyone picks the same subject by the same name
A platform administrator adds subjects to the shared list that everybody picks from. The request is refused outright for anyone who is not one.
- Keep last year's papers away from this year's batch
Take notes or question papers that have gone stale out of a subject's list. Deleting one outright is a separate action, kept for administrators.
- Keep the notes in one place, not on six phones
Notes, question papers and other files are attached to a subject from the platform's own subject library. A file uploaded before is not stored a second time.
- Stop the same subject being spelled five ways
Assignments, quizzes and marking sessions take their subject from a list rather than from free text, covering the shared catalogue and your own subjects.
Frequently asked questions
Can any teacher add a new subject?
Adding a subject for everyone is an administrator's job. A teacher can create a custom subject for their own use without waiting for one.
Can students get at the materials?
Materials are attached to the subject they belong to, so they stay in one place instead of scattering, and it stays clear which file belongs where.
What if the same file is uploaded twice?
A file that has been uploaded before is matched and the existing one is returned instead of being stored again, so duplicates do not pile up.
