Activities and submissions
Academic management is part of the premium plan. If you can't see it in the menu, check Plans.
These are the three screens of the homework circuit: the teacher publishes an activity, students upload their submission, and the teacher grades it with a gradable concept.
Activities are created by teachers from the app. From the panel you supervise them, approve them, and configure what they're graded with.
Activities
The list shows everything teachers have published for their groups.
The filters at the top narrow by group, teacher, subject and status.
Approving an activity
Just like messages, there's an approval step. While it's pending, the activity doesn't appear in the app.
The side menu shows a counter next to "Activities" with the number awaiting approval, so you can see it without going in.
An activity approved late pushes the deadline for thirty students. Worth checking daily.
The buttons on each row
They let you view the activity, see its submissions and see the marks that were given.
Submissions
This is what students uploaded in response.
You can filter by group and by activity to find a specific submission, and from there see the file handed in and the date it arrived.
Filter by the activity and compare against the group's student list. The difference is who's missing.
Gradable concepts
These are the concepts an activity is graded with: a numeric mark, a descriptive scale —"Achieved / In progress / Not achieved"—, or whatever your school uses.
What you define here is what teachers will be able to choose when grading. So it's worth agreeing on before the year starts.
Closing a concept
Each concept can be marked as closed, after which teachers can no longer change the marks they've entered.
At the end of the period, once marks have been reviewed. It stops a grade changing after the family has already seen it.
The calendar and deadlines
Every activity with a due date automatically generates an event in the group's calendar, so students and families can see it.
That event maintains itself: change the activity's date and the calendar's date changes with it.
They appear there but without edit buttons, deliberately: if they could be changed separately, the calendar date and the activity date would drift apart. To move it, edit the activity.

From activities to report cards
Activities and report cards are two different things. An activity is a specific task with its mark; the report card is the period's grade that goes to the family.
Loading activities doesn't fill in the report card: that's done separately.
