Formative

The platform allows educators to build assignments containing a range of question types, including multiple choice, short answer, show-your-work drawing responses, and audio or video submissions. Teachers can upload existing documents such as PDFs or worksheets and convert them into interactive digital activities, or import content from sources including Google Docs and other educational tools.

As students complete tasks, their responses appear on the teacher's dashboard live, enabling adjustments to instruction based on observed understanding. Formative includes features for automatic grading of objective questions, manual marking with written or audio feedback, and analytics that track individual and class performance over time.

The system supports integration with learning management systems and single sign-on providers commonly used in schools, including Google Classroom and Microsoft platforms. It is typically used in primary, secondary, and higher education settings for in-class checks for understanding, homework, quizzes, and standards-aligned assessments, with options for both free and paid subscription tiers aimed at individual teachers, schools, and districts.
