What's inside
A closer look at Learning Management System
Homework review on a whiteboard
Teachers mark up each submitted page on a whiteboard that saves automatically, then move through a "Mark corrected & next" queue. To review and Missing counters show what needs attention.
- Filter the homework list to work that has items to review or is missing, by course and challenge
- The review list marks each student as New, Submitted, Late, Corrected or Resubmitted
- A details panel shows on-time or late status, the student's note, their files and your feedback
- Assign homework to individual students or a whole class, with priority and a due date
Your terminology, your structure
Courses are built as Level, Challenge and Step, and each term can be renamed system-wide to match how you teach, such as Unit or Module.
- Add a Level or Challenge with a one-field form, or place Challenges directly under the course
- Eight step types: General, Video, Audio, Assessment, Code, Homework, HTML and Attachment
- HTML steps accept zip uploads, with an option to mark them as SCORM packages
- Drag handles reorder Levels, Challenges and Steps at every tier
Points students earn
Completing challenges earns points. Staff add bonus points, and students redeem points for rewards or money off enrollments.
- View and manage a student's points from the menu on their Student Board
- Board cards show the points each challenge is worth
- Families see a loyalty points breakdown with total earned, redeemed and available points
- Earned loyalty points can be spent on purchases in the portal Store
Students work right on the page
Students and parents write directly on homework files on a full-screen whiteboard, type an answer or upload a photo, and resubmit after feedback.
- Students and parents find homework on their Boards and on the separate Homework page
- Progress shows New, Submitted and Corrected, with a Missing flag when work is overdue
- Submitted work locks during review; Unsubmit allows changes until the teacher corrects it
- Teacher feedback appears in the side panel, and parents can leave their own feedback
Student and class boards
Drag-and-drop boards track each student’s challenges, homework and assessments by status. Assign a challenge to the whole class in one click.
- Drag a card into a new column to update its status immediately
- Hover a card to preview points earned, attachments and linked items
- Switch the Student Board between Challenges, Assignments and Assessments tabs
