Monitor student workload and progress in seconds – New assignment search tool

courtneyfarrow

Cloud Design Box’s new Student Assignment Search gives you the power to monitor and search for the assignments that students have been across all their classes.  

With Microsoft Teams, teachers can only view assignment information for the students in their own classes. This isn’t useful if you’re a senior leader, registration group teacher, head of year or SEND support staff who typically need to see the progress and check in with a wider group of students.  

Cloud Design Box’s Student Assignment Search allows you to search for any student and view their assignments. 



Who will love our Student Assignment Search? 

Any member of staff who needs to check in with student workload, progress and wellbeing, even if you don’t teach that student.  

For example:  

  • Senior leadership team (SLT)  
  • Registration or form group teacher 
  • Head of year  
  • SEND support staff 

See a list of current/past assignments of any student, regardless of if they’re in your class or not. Simply type their name into the search bar.  

View all current assignments across all subjects including

  • The class name and teacher 
  • Created date 
  • Due date 
  • Status of the assignment (Not started, Submitted, Marked, Overdue)  
  • Any teacher instructions and attached learning resources 

View all past assignments across all subjects, including: 

  • The class name and teacher 
  • Created date 
  • Due date 
  • Status of the assignment (Not started, Submitted, Marked, Overdue)  
  • Any teacher instructions and attached learning resources 
  • Any work or attachments the student submitted for the assignment  
  • Any feedback or grades the teacher gave the assignment  

Start a conversation with the teacher who set the assignment 

You can tap Chat or Send email to contact the teacher who set the selected assignment.  

Why use Student Assignment Search for Microsoft Teams?
