Individual written work
Written assignment
Describe what to write, set a deadline, and let every student write their own answer - private, versioned, graded with your feedback.
What is Written assignment?
You describe the task - the topic, the expected length, the criteria - in a full rich-text editor, or insert an article you already keep in your wiki. Then you open a session for a group: it gets a join code, a QR code and, if you want one, a deadline every student sees.
Students open the link on any device, read the task and write in the same kind of editor you used: headings, lists, pictures, autosave, version history. Each answer is visible only to you. When a student sends it in, you read it, comment it and hand back a grade with feedback - and they see it on their screen the moment you save.
How it works
From task to graded answer
Features
Key capabilities
A real writing surface
Students write in a rich editor with autosave and version history, not in a bare form field - and can come back to their draft until they send it.
Private answers
Every text is visible to the teacher alone. Students never see one another's work, so nobody writes for the audience.
A deadline students see
Set the date once - every student sees it while writing, and answers sent after it are flagged as late on both sides.
The history of the text
Version history shows how each answer grew - useful for feedback, and a natural conversation starter about the writing process.
Feedback and margin notes
Grade in any scale you use and write feedback the student sees; keep your own margin notes pinned to specific sentences.
Reusable with every group
One task, many sessions: run the same assignment with the next group without mixing the two groups' answers.
Step by step
How it works
Describe the task
Write it in the wiki editor or insert an article you already have; the assignment keeps its own copy.
Open a session
Share the join code or QR with the group and set the deadline if you want one.
Students write and send
Each student writes their own answer in a private editor and sends it in when done.
Review and grade
Read every text, add feedback and a grade - each student sees only their own review.
