Principal function(s): Course managementMarking and feedback
Classkick is a platform for creating and delivering digital lessons and sending assignments to students. It also allows teachers to see what students are doing in real time on the platform and provide feedback. Teachers can use different file types, including images, videos, audio, text or drawings to create assignments and share them with students, who get a code to access them. Students can also raise their hand for help, let teachers know they have finished an assignment, or simply provide feedback. ClassKick offers a limited free version and requires an account to create content, but not for participating.
Evaluation: Classkick is a useful tool for teachers to guide students in the learning process, ease communication in online settings, and provide feedback and grading. It also allows them to have an overview of which students need their help and how they are progressing through different assignments. By using different multimedia resources, assignments can be made more interactive and engaging for students. It provides practicality, value, and ease of use, saving time for both teachers and learners.
Cost: Free limited version with registration + paid plans available.
