SchoolSpeak Homework resource allows teachers to post homework of any types like projects, tests or special events online in a few seconds using shortcuts. After teachers finish entering homework for one subject/class, they can quickly switch to another class.
Students also can submit homework online; teachers have to set up a location for students to submit homework. Students can submit a wide range of file types; students have to organize the homework in one or more files and upload it to SchoolSpeak. Online submission for students can be enabled or disabled for each assignment published on SchoolSpeak. By default, online submission is disabled and teachers need to enable online submission in the Homework Add/Edit page. Teachers can view student submission online and download homework uploaded by students.
