Calendar
As a teacher or administrator, you can view assignment, deadlines, exams, and entire class calendars by year, group (such as Basketball or Drama Club), or by individual class. Students also get a real-time view of their term as calendar items are synced as soon as they are added by their instructors.
Messages
Communicate with teachers and students within cohort years, classes, and groups. Provide individual student feedback on tasks, which is also visible to their parents to track progress throughout the term.
Remote Learning
Teachers can schedule virtual class time with our built-on Zoom integration or other video conferencing tools. Any online lesson will appear in students’ calendars, as well as their class stream. Additionally, our built-in Presentation Mode allows teachers to present and screen-share learning materials during online lessons, directly from the Class Stream.
Portfolio
Students gradually build a digital portfolio over time as they submit coursework into their classes for individual tasks and assessments. All submitted work is automatically grouped into subjects with learning goals linked to specific, school-created attributes. All portfolio can be exported as PDFs.
Assessment & Reporting
Tailored for the unique need of independent schools, our systems provide customizable gradebooks, built-in assessment and annotation tools, as well as integrations with Google Docs for coursework submission and TurnItIn for plagiarism prevention.

For students, this provides one-click access to their GDocs editor with the coursework template pre-loaded, and automatically saves the submitted GDoc to their portfolio with all marks and annotations preserved for future reference.
Our Turnitin integration allows student coursework to be automatically submitted through Turnitin prior to grading in order to improve student writing, empower original thinking, and prevent plagiarism. Access all Feedback Studio features directly from within AtlasNext.
