How to Set Half‑Term Homework the Easy Way
1. Pick the Pods or topics you want students to revisit
Choose the content that will help your learners stay sharp over the break — whether that’s revision, consolidation, or preparation for next term.
2. Build your assignment in seconds
Use the Assignment Builder to instantly generate questions. The Assignment Creator drafts curriculum‑aligned questions for you, so you don’t have to spend time writing them yourself.
3. Let the Marking Assistant lighten the load
When students submit their work, the Marking Assistant reviews their responses and provides suggested marks and feedback. You simply check and confirm the suggestions before they’re released.
This means:
No marking pile waiting for you after half term
Instant feedback ready to approve
More time for planning, rest, or doing the things you enjoy
