On Nurture, students can reflect on and submit their work to improve student outcomes and save time for teachers. Students do not type their assessments directly into Nurture, rather they complete their work as a typed or handwritten submission and add it as an attachment.

Students can type their work by submitting a Word Doc, PDF or PowerPoint. Students can also write their work by hand and take an image of their work for submission. In this way, our Nurture Assistant can read and analyse the student's work. They also use the 'notes' section to provide a comment for their teacher and rate their confidence in their work using the emoji tool.

Below, we will detail how students submit work on Nurture.
