Many Teachers spend hours upon hours making curriculum materials, supplements, tests… the list is long. After organizing and creating what they need, they may grapple with the copy machine or Google Classroom or their school’s LMS in an attempt to distribute PDFs or Google Docs, Slides, and Forms.
Once distributed, how do their students fill in their answers? And when will the overworked Teacher get the materials graded with feedback and returned to the students?
Classwork was created to solve this problem. Any curriculum materials can be uploaded into the platform and quickly converted for interactive digital delivery with autograding. Students see their scores as they work, striving for improvement. Teachers get formative data at the moment of learning, not days later. The copier gets a much needed rest.
Considered best in class by many, Classwork is an essential part of any classroom because it is so versatile, easy to use, and cost-effective.
