A New and Innovative Education Platform





One of the newest technologies to keep an eye on in 2015 is a creative
education platform called ForClass. Teachers and professors are already
extremely busy and find it increasingly difficult to prepare for class.
ForClass is a platform geared towards easing the difficulties in
preparing for classes while engaging students.



ForClass  enables teachers to assign questions to students for homework.
These questions may be a guided reading, pop quiz, or a list of key
concepts. As students answer these questions, teachers get an
understanding of how each question is answered. This enables teachers
to structure their lecture on the areas were students struggled.
Further, ForClass gives teachers the statistical breakdown of how each
student did on the assignment. Therefore, teachers can see where
individual students are having difficulties and offer them help. This
provides an easier education for each student individually. Over the
course of a semester, ForClass can track a student’s progress, thereby
enabling teachers to determine each student’s reasoning in answering
questions.



One of the most important benefits of ForClass is how simple it is for
the user. Teachers are able to quickly and effortlessly post questions
and assignments for students to complete. The class results of each
question for each individual student show up in real time for the
teacher, in a simple format. Plus, teachers have an archive of all of
their students’ responses at their fingertips. Students have also
described  ForClass as a straightforward platform that encourages them
to become more engaged in class. Students can log on and view each
assignment for each class and answer each question at their own pace.
As ForClass is web-based, any student with a laptop, tablet, or even a
smart phone with a wireless connection can complete their assignments
from almost anywhere.



ForClass also affords the opportunity for teachers to use this
innovative platform in a creative manner. Teachers can use ForClass to
assign take home quizzes or post lecture questions to see which topics
 confuse students. Plus, teachers can come up with their own creative
ways to implement the software in their classrooms that fit their
students needs best.



 Overall, ForClass has additional benefits by being a  low cost or in
some cases a free program for teachers and students. Plus, it is easy
to use for both teachers and students.In addition,  its ability to
enable students to critically think and have fun with class instruction
is a great benefit. Most of all, ForClass keeps students actively
engaged in class material and also benefits teachers by having a clear
understanding of their student’s grasp of the material. It is clear
that ForClass is an excellent addition to any classroom as it is easy to
implement into classrooms where students can utilize technology to
improve the quality of their education.
