📘 What Is the Student Submissions Tab?
The Student Submissions Tab is a new feature built into the Kognity textbook that gives teachers a clear, organized view of student submissions, all from within the book itself.
Previously, teachers had to navigate separate dashboards to find this information. Now, it’s placed exactly where you would expect to find it: alongside the activities students complete.
This update helps you quickly understand how your students are engaging with specific tasks, saving you time and streamlining your workflow.
🔍 How the Student Submissions Tab Works
The Submissions Tab is available in every section of the book that includes a student-facing activity. These include:
Content pages
Driving question boards
Activity sheets
Quizzes
Performance tasks
Reflection questions
All sections stack vertically, so you can scroll through them without switching pages. Each section shows which students have submitted work and gives access to the full submission details.
✅ Completion Status
For content pages and driving questions, you’ll see a list of students and a visual indicator showing whether they’ve marked the section as “Done.”
📋 Quizzes and Activity Sheets
In these sections, you’ll see:
Each student’s individual responses
An indicator showing whether auto-graded answers are correct
Note: There is no grading feature here, only response visibility.
🏆 Performance Tasks
You’ll have access to:
Student answers to each task question
The associated rubric and mark scheme
The ability to assign scores and send feedback directly
💬 Reflection Questions
For these submissions, you can:
View each student’s reflection
Leave written feedback
Add private teacher notes
Flag responses for later review (flags are private to you)
🎯 Why Use the Student Submissions Tab?
Teachers visit the Submissions Tab to:
View detailed responses for a specific learning activity
Grade Performance Tasks
Leave feedback on Reflection Questions
Review answers for Quizzes and Activity Sheets
It provides a clear, contextual snapshot of student learning, right in the book section where that learning took place.
