Apple Releases Schoolwork 2.0 for iPad With All-New Design, Progress Insights, More

Apple has released Schoolwork 2.0 for iPad bringing an all-new design, new handout options, insights into class and student progress, and more.

Schoolwork is an iPad app that helps teachers both save time and maximize each student’s potential. With Schoolwork, it’s easy to share class materials, get students to a specific activity in an app, collaborate with students, and view student progress.

Teachers can easily create and send out a class announcement, a study reminder, or an assignment. They then get progress information on how their students are doing on their assignments, making it easier for them to individualize instruction based on student needs. Students get one central place to see assignments, submit work, and view their own progress.




What's New In This Version:
All New Design
• Easily switch between Handouts and Students views with new tab-based navigation
• New sidebar gives you instant access to current classes, recents, favorites, drafts and archived Handouts with just a tap
• Streamlined options for adding content like app activities, photos, videos, links, and documents during Handout creation
• See which apps have enabled student progress, and view rich activity previews when adding app activities to your Handouts

New Features
• New Handout options including locking Handouts, marking as “viewed”, requesting revisions, returning files
• Insights into overall class and individual student progress including completion rates, time spent, incomplete and re-assigned activities
