Clear layout
The most commonly used functions are accessible from the simply designed 'Home' screen. The 'Mark Work' button locates recently submitted, unmarked work and displays it on screen for your attention. 'Set Work' gives you the choice of creating your own worksheet or selecting/adapting one from the Schoolshape Resources Library. As soon as students log in, they can see the task you have just set and start doing it immediately. Schoolshape has ensured that every feature is clear and easy to operate, thus allowing the teacher to concentrate solely on his students' learning outcomes.
Differentiation of work facilitated
The Schoolshape Language Laboratory enables students to progress at their own pace. It is easy to set different tasks for different groups or individuals. It is simple to adapt an existing task to suit a particular group or individual. It is quick to set further work for the early finishers whilst slower students are still on the initial task.
Hassle Free
