Homework and assignments

Set it once. Everyone knows what's due.

Homework comes from the lesson plan, assignments stand on their own, and every student sees one list of what's due today, this week and later.

How it works

Three steps, start to finish.

  1. 1

    Set the work

    Add homework to a lesson or a standalone assignment to a course, with a due date, marks and the files students need.

  2. 2

    Students hand in

    Text, PDFs up to 32 MB, or a ZIP for projects. ZIPs are checked before they're accepted: at most 500 files, no unsafe paths, no zip bombs.

  3. 3

    Mark and send back

    AI suggests a mark and feedback against your marking scheme; you change what you want and release. Students and parents see the result.

What you get with homework and assignments.

  • One due list

    Students see today, this week and later in one place, across every course.

  • Safe uploads

    PDFs to 32 MB; ZIPs checked for size, file count and unsafe paths before they're stored.

  • AI marking help

    Suggested marks and feedback with reasons, reviewed by the teacher. See AI marking.

  • Tied to the plan

    Homework belongs to a lesson, so the lesson plan and the work stay together.

  • Plagiarism check

    Answers can be compared student to student after a deadline with the plagiarism checker.

  • Parents in the loop

    Parents see what's due and what came back in the parent portal.

Questions about homework and assignments

What can students upload?

Text answers, PDFs up to 32 MB, images up to 16 MB, and ZIP files up to 32 MB (at most 500 files and 100 MB unpacked).

Does AI give the final mark?

No. AI suggests a mark and feedback; the teacher reviews, changes what they want and releases.

Is homework different from an assignment?

Yes. Homework belongs to a lesson plan; an assignment stands on its own in a course. Both show in the student's due list.

Can a teacher see only their own batches?

Yes. A teacher linked to batches sees only those students in marking lists.
