Stop the same subject being spelled five ways
When an assignment, a quiz or a marking session is created, its subject is chosen from a list rather than typed in by hand. The list carries the shared catalogue of subjects together with any the institution has added for itself.
How it is done today
Left as free text, one subject ends up stored under ten spellings. One teacher writes Physics, another writes physics and a third writes it in Bengali. Later, pulling results or questions together by subject no longer gathers them into one place.
How it works
- 1
Start creating the work
Creating a new assignment, quiz or marking session brings up a subject field, and that field opens a list to choose from.
- 2
Choose from the list
The common subjects are already in place, so the list is never empty on the first day and there is always something to pick.
- 3
See your own subjects too
Any subject the institution has added for itself appears in the same list, rather than being kept somewhere separate to look up.
- 4
Retired subjects stay out
Subjects that are no longer in use are not offered, so an old subject cannot be picked for this year's work by mistake.

Frequently asked questions
Is the list empty for a brand new institution?
No. The common subjects are written in the first time the list is read, so even on day one a teacher is not looking at an empty dropdown.
Does retiring a subject delete it?
It is not deleted, only taken out of the picker. Work already created against that subject keeps its record intact rather than losing it.
Can other institutions see subjects we added?
The list is resolved for whoever is looking at it and their institution, so a subject added for your own use does not turn up in somebody else's picker.
