Homework & teachingUpdated 17 Oct 20261 min read

When you ask students to hand in homework, they upload their work from the app. This article shows you how to see what came in, mark it, and send work back if it needs to be done again.

Before you start

  • Students can only hand in work if you ticked Ask students to hand the work in when you gave the homework. See the article Give homework to a class.
  • Students or parents need an EduHost login to upload work.
  • Students send a photo or a PDF, and they can add a note for the teacher.

Steps

  1. Open Homework from the sidebar. Teachers can also tap Check homework on their dashboard.
  2. Open the homework you want to check.
  3. Use the tabs to see Everyone, Handed in, Not yet or Marked.
  4. Open a student's work and look at the file they sent.
  5. If you set Marks out of for this homework, type the marks.
  6. Click Mark checked.

Send work back for a redo

  1. Open the student's work.
  2. Click Send back.
  3. Write what to fix in Feedback for the family (optional).
  4. Click Send back for a redo.

The student can then send the work again, and it shows up for you to check once more.

Good to know

  • If you see Set by another teacher, only that teacher or the office can mark it.
  • Work sent after the due date is marked late. Students can only send late work if you ticked Accept it after the due date.
  • Families see the status in their app: sent, checked by the teacher, or redo asked. They also see the marks you gave.
