Written by Honey Jane Santos

What is the Teacher Feedback & Notes feature?

Kognity now allows teachers to provide direct feedback and add private notes on student submissions in Content Pages, including:

  • Activity Sheets

  • Performance Tasks

  • Quizzes

This feature helps teachers support student learning by keeping all feedback and notes directly connected to submissions within the platform.

Teacher Experience

Teachers can now both send feedback to students and add private notes for internal use.

1. Giving feedback to students

Teachers can provide written feedback on each question response.

To give feedback:

a. Open the lesson
b. Click Student submissions and select the student.


c. Navigate to the question and enter feedback in the Feedback field


d. Click Send feedback

Once feedback is sent:

  • The student receives a notification

  • The feedback appears in their submission view

💡 Teachers can save feedback as a draft and send it later.

💡 If multiple teachers are assigned to the same class, the feedback is shared across all teachers in that class.

2. Adding teacher notes

Teachers can also add notes that are not visible to students.

To add a teacher note:

a. Open the student submission

Student submissions


b. Locate the Teacher note section and enter your note.

Teacher notes:

  • Are only visible to teachers

  • Are shared across teachers in the same class

  • Are never shown to students

3. Viewing feedback and notes

Teachers can:

  • View feedback per question

  • Edit or update feedback

  • Re-send feedback if needed

  • Add and review private notes for each submission

All feedback and notes remain linked to the student’s submission.

Student Experience

Students can:

  • View feedback once it has been sent by the teacher

  • Receive a notification when new feedback is available

  • Access feedback directly within their submission

Why we introduced Teacher Feedback & Notes

This feature supports:

  • More personalised feedback for students

  • Better communication within the platform

  • Improved tracking of student progress

  • Reduced need for external tools
