TL;DR: You can upload photos and documents as evidence to prove your student has finished their work and mastered new skills.
Tracking growth is a big part of the LearnSpark experience. When your student does great work away from the computer—like a science project or a drawing—you want to make sure it counts toward their official records.
LearnSpark lets you Import Evidence Documents to show the progress in a student's Mastery Profile. This tells the full story of their learning journey and makes it easy to match their work to curriculum goals.
How to Upload Evidence
You can add evidence to a specific finished lesson or directly to a student's profile. Just follow these steps:
Go to the Students tab and click on a profile, or open a finished Lesson.
Find the Evidence section and click the Add Evidence button.
Choose the file from your computer or phone. You can use photos, PDFs, or even short videos.
Click Save to attach the file to that student's record. That's it—you're all set!
💡 Good to know: When you upload a file, SparkAI can look at it to see which curriculum goals it meets. It then updates your student's mastery profile automatically!
Using Evidence for Reports
If you need to show proof of learning to others, these documents are very helpful. In the Performance & Compliance section, you can make reports that include these files.
The system organizes everything by date and skill. This makes reviews much faster and helps you stay organized without the stress.
⚠️ Heads up: Make sure your photos are clear and easy to read. If a photo is blurry, it might be hard for others to see the great work your student has done.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do uploads use my SparkAI credits?
Uploading a file is free. SparkAI only uses credits if you ask it to analyze the document to update a Mastery Profile or check for learning gaps.
What if I upload the wrong file?
Don't worry! You can click the "edit" or "remove" icon next to any file to delete it or change it at any time.
Is my evidence secure?
Yes. We take privacy very seriously. Your documents are only seen by you and the people you invite to help with your homeschooling.
How many files should I upload?
There is no limit, but it is best to pick the 2 or 3 best pieces of work for each goal. This keeps the student's profile neat and easy to read.
