Classwork Overview

Created by Louis Cooksley, Modified on Tue, 16 Jun at 10:15 AM by Louis Cooksley

The Classwork section lets teachers receive, review, and manage pupil work submitted digitally. Pupils can upload photos or files of their work using a **QR code** displayed by the teacher — no pupil account or login is required. Submitted work appears in the Classwork feed for teachers to review and approve. 

## The Classwork page 

 

When you open Classwork, you see a tile-based feed of recent submissions. The page has two views you can toggle between using the buttons at the top: 

 

**Classwork** — the submission feed, showing work uploaded by pupils 

**Students** — a pupil thumbnail grid; tap any pupil to see their individual classwork 

 

### Buttons and controls

## Filtering and searching 

 

### Tabs (Classwork view) 

A tab bar below the buttons lets you filter by registration group: 

 

**Pending** — shows only submissions awaiting review 

**All** — shows all submissions across your groups 

- Individual class tabs (e.g. Year 3, Year 4) — filter to a specific group 

 

### Label filter 

**Filter by label** dropdown lets you filter submissions by custom labels you have created. Use the settings icon next to the dropdown to manage your labels. 

 

### Advanced Search 

Tap **Advanced Search** to expand a search panel with filters for: 

**Student Name** — comma-separated names 

**Title** — search by submission title 

**Labels** — filter by label name 

**Group** — filter by class name 

**Date / Date range** — filter by submission date 


## Loading older submissions 

 The Classwork feed doesn't load all submissions at once. Use the buttons at the bottom of the feed to load more: 

 

ButtonWhat it loads
Load Previous 30 Days
Extends the feed back by 30 days
Load Current Term
Loads all submissions for the current school term
Load Previous Term
Loads all submissions for the previous term
Load Date Range
Opens a date picker to load a custom date range or select a specific term 


## Reviewing a submission 

 Each submission tile shows the pupil name, class, and a preview of the uploaded work. Below each tile is an approval button showing the current status — tap it to approve or change the status. The statuses cycle between **Pending****Approved**, and other states depending on your workflow. 

 

Tap the tile itself to open the full submission detail view, where you can: 

- View all uploaded images or files 

- Add labels 

- Add the submission to a student's record 

- Download the work 


## Managing QR codes 

 QR codes let pupils submit work without logging in. Navigate to **Manage QR codes** (or tap the **Manage QR codes** button) to reach `/#/classwork/manage-qr-codes`. 

 

The QR code management page shows two types of QR code: 

 

### Classwork Upload QR Codes 

QR codes that allow pupils to upload their classwork directly. Features include: 

**Group QR codes** — one code per registration group for general class submissions 

**Individual student QR codes** — a unique code per pupil, linking uploads to their account 

**Expiry date management** — set codes to expire after a certain date 

**PDF generation** — print QR codes as PDFs to display in the classroom 

 

### Classwork Attachments QR Codes 

QR codes that provide direct access to specific classwork files or attachments you have uploaded. Features include: 

**Direct file downloads** — pupils scan and immediately access a file (e.g. a worksheet or resource) 

**Selective attachment access** — link to specific pieces of work rather than a general upload form 

**Download tracking** — see how many times the QR code has been scanned 

**Expiry date management** — set codes to expire 

 

### Using an Upload QR code in class 

1. Go to **Manage QR codes** → **Classwork Upload QR Codes**. 

2. Select the QR code for the relevant class. 

3. Display it on your screen, whiteboard, or print it. 

4. Pupils scan the code with any camera app and upload a photo of their work. 

5. Submissions appear in your Classwork feed immediately, marked as **Pending**. 

 

## Tips 

- QR codes can be displayed on a projector or interactive whiteboard — you don't need to print them. 

- Work submitted via a group QR code is linked to the class, not an individual pupil — ask pupils to write their name on the work before photographing it, or use individual student QR codes to link submissions directly. 

- The **Tile size** slider in the header adjusts how large the submission thumbnails appear. 

- If you have admin or head teacher permissions, use **See All Groups** to view submissions across the whole school. 

- Submissions can be bulk-downloaded using multi-select mode — useful for sharing portfolios or end-of-term records.
