In Gimkit, classes are a helpful tool designed to improve student management. Setting them up comes with many advantages. Here's what you can expect when using them:
- Student names remain suitable during games
- Easy tracking of assignment status
- Access to details from repeated attempts
- Progress saving for unfinished assignments
Let’s take a closer look at each benefit below.
Ensure Suitable Names in Game Sessions
Gimkit does include filters to block lousy language. But some inappropriate words might still go unnoticed. Using Classes, ensure only correct names appear when students play live games.
When a Class is created, each student creates their own Gimkit account. They then use a special invite link to join the Class. After joining, their account name will show up in live games. You can also change how their name appears within your Class if needed.
Instant Join FeatureThis feature allows students to enter live games without needing a join code. They will instantly connect using the name from their Class—quick and smooth!
Monitor Progress on Assignments
Gimkit Classes allow you to monitor which students finished a given task. Linking an Assignment with a Class provides access to a neat report.
You'll see:
Status | Description |
---|---|
Completed | The student has finished the Assignment |
In Progress | The student has started but has not finished |
Not Started | Assignment not yet opened by the student |
This layout lets you easily see who’s doing what without guessing.
View Repeated Attempts and Results
When students complete an Assignment more than once, Classes let you view each try. You’ll get access to complete data showing how often the Assignment was done and how the student performed each time.
To check:
- Go into the Assignment
- Choose the connected Class
- View the results for each student and all their attempts
This lets you understand effort and growth better.
Let Students Continue Where They Left
Another benefit of using Classes is progress saving. If students exit an Assignment before completing it, they won’t lose their work.
They can:
- Pause their task anytime
- Return later to pick up right where they stopped
This is especially useful for students who need more time or who work in multiple sessions.
Feature | Benefit |
---|---|
Pause and Resume | Students can work at their own pace |
Save As You Go | Keeps progress safe between sessions |
