02Teach
Keep learning organised.
Describe courses by subject, topics, level and curriculum. Existing batches keep the published course version they started with.
03Run your classes
Teach every batch.
Bring instructors and learners together. Manage class schedules, attendance, deadlines and progress in one place.
- Batches with their own instructor, dates and weekly timetable, a meeting link and a reminder email for each class, cancelled classes and time off, and the timetable exported to a calendar.
- Registers by hand or from a Zoom or Teams report, printable session registers, and off-the-job hours against each learner’s plan.
04Recorded answers
Hear every student between lessons.
Learners record in the browser on a phone or laptop, for music, language and speaking classes, and you reply with a recording of your own.
A letter, a comment and a reply
Grade each take with a letter or a rubric and a comment, and reply by singing or playing it back. Each take is graded on its own, and you can compare it with the one before.
05Assess
Assess understanding.
Combine different question types, set assignments and use marking rubrics. Automatic scores and teacher feedback stay with each learner’s attempt.
Use multiple-choice, short-answer, numerical, fill-in-the-blank, matching, ordering and written-response questions. Written responses go to a teacher for marking. Assignments accept text, links, files, recordings and code, and every batch has a gradebook.
06Add coding when you need it
Grade code against your own tests, as learners hand in.
Turn on runnable code, notebooks and programming assessments for computing courses, on the Training plans. General subjects use the same course and batch structure.
- Hidden tests
- Mark any test hidden. Its input and expected output never reach the browser, so learners cannot write code that only passes the tests they can see.
- Points per test
- Give each test its own points. An answer that passes some tests earns those points, so partial work gets partial credit.
Python 3 · Java · C · C++ (C++17 or C++20) · JavaScript (Node.js) · TypeScript · C# · Go · Kotlin · PHP · Ruby · Rust
07AI hints
AI hints that teach without giving the answer.
A learner stuck on an error or a failed test can ask for a hint: an explanation of what went wrong, or a nudge towards the fix, with no block of code before the third level. Hints are off until you turn them on, never appear in exams, and your staff can read every one.
08Academic integrity
Know how every coding answer was written.
The Skill Site keeps each change a learner makes to a quiz answer, so staff can replay how it was written and see what was pasted in. A similarity check pairs answers that look alike once names, comments and spacing are set aside. Hidden tests and exam time kept by the server do the rest.
An answer that appears all at once from a paste looks very different from one built up over twenty minutes of edits and test runs. The replay shows which, without asking the learner.
09My Courses
Give learners a clear next step.
My Courses shows batch progress and upcoming assignments. Learners open lessons, submit work and review feedback from their own account.
