Problem
Educators spend significant time creating, delivering, and grading paper‑based or static digital worksheets, which limits timely feedback and hampers the ability to monitor student progress in real time.
Solution
BookWidgets is a cloud‑based authoring platform that lets teachers design interactive exercises and auto‑graded assignments in minutes using a library of over 35 question types. The system grades most responses automatically and provides instant, customizable feedback to learners. A built‑in reporting dashboard aggregates results, enabling teachers to identify knowledge gaps and deliver personalized comments. Live Widgets extend this capability by streaming student activity as it happens, so instructors can intervene instantly. The platform integrates with major LMSs (Google Classroom, Canvas, Moodle, Microsoft Teams for Education, Schoology, etc.) and syncs grades directly to the institution’s gradebook. Together, these features reduce grading workload, increase student engagement, and support data‑driven instruction.
