Setting homework and lesson summaries

You set homework and lesson summaries in the app. Students and parents see them straight away and get a notification.

Where to find it

The Class tab → Homework.

Who can do this

Teachers, for their own classes.

Step by step: setting homework

1. Tap New Homework (or New Lesson Summary for a summary of the lesson).
2. Choose who it is for: Entire class (for all students in the class) or individual (for specific students) and tap Select Students.
3. Enter a title and description, or choose a template through Templates. You can also link memorisation items.
4. The due date defaults to one week ahead; if it falls in a holiday, the app warns you.
5. Add photos or documents if needed and turn on Auto-complete after due date if you want.
6. Save.

Step by step: progress per student

1. Open an assignment and tap Manage student statuses.
2. Set the status per student and add a remark if needed. You also see whether a student has prepared.
3. You can have AI feedback drafted for a student; check it before you use it.

Step by step: asking for a voice recording

1. When you set an assignment, turn on Audio submission. Parents and independent students can then hand in a recording of at most 5 minutes. You can also do this for homework for one student from that student's profile.
2. It is not possible for a lesson summary.
3. If you don't see Audio submission, your organisation has not turned the function on. An administrator does that in the administration portal.

Step by step: listening to and reviewing recordings

1. The assignment card shows, for example, Recordings: 3 · new: 1. Tap it for the list. For each student you see New, Listened, Expired or Deleted, and possibly Late or Reviewed.
2. Tap a student and play the recording. The 1× button switches to 0,5×, the arrow goes back 10 seconds, and a tap on the bar jumps to a point. As soon as you play it, the recording counts as listened to and the parent can no longer replace it; just opening it does not count.
3. Write Written feedback and tap Save feedback.
4. To say something out loud, tap Record spoken feedback (max. 2 min.) and then Send feedback.
5. Delete recording deletes the recording straight away; the fact that it was handed in stays visible.

The parent or student gets a notification when you give feedback. At the top of the list is Delete after review: when it is on, a recording you have played is deleted as soon as you save the feedback. That choice applies to all your classes.

I can't see it / it doesn't work

• I don't see Recordings on the card. Audio submission is not on for this assignment, or it is a lesson summary.
• A recording does not play. It has expired or been deleted; it then says Expired or Deleted.
• A student does not see the homework. Check that you chose the right class and that the student is among the selected students.

Frequently asked questions

Can I give homework to one student? Yes, choose individual and select that student.

Can I reuse an assignment? Yes, through Templates.

Do I get a notification for a new recording? Yes, if you created the assignment. If you have not listened to a recording yet, you also get a reminder a day before it expires.

How long does a recording stay? 1 to 7 days after sending, as your organisation has set it. After that it is deleted automatically, as is your spoken feedback; your written feedback stays.

Who can play the recordings? Only teachers of the class, also in the administration portal under Education → Homework. The board only sees the status.
