A more convenient way for teachers to control content

We’ve made it easier for Tassomai teachers to manage the content for whole year groups with a few simple clicks. No more going in and out of every class!

One of Tassomai’s great features has always been its ability to tailor the content that students practise to their teacher’s plan or schemes of work. For example staff will often restrict daily Tassomai practice to a topic or two in anticipation of an end of topic test; likewise new areas of a course can be switched on incrementally to coincide with teaching through the year.

Historically this setting has been controlled at the class level, with the aim being that managing content would be the responsibility of each class teacher and, in turn, this requirement would mean shared workload between colleagues and a more department-wide involvement in the weekly management of Tassomai.

However, we have had many requests to allow department heads to have oversight of content settings across entire year groups—and the ability to make wholesale changes—since frequently they were having to do this class by class on behalf of their colleagues.

A timesaver for teachers and department leaders

Our new feature allows simple and seamless management of class content across entire year groups.

Any teacher with the relevant edit rights will now be able to see at a glance which classes have which content and, at a stroke, override any current settings to focus students’ work into particular areas or to switch new material on through the year. Based on feedback, we know this will make life easier for many of our department leaders who value Tassomai so much as an impactful homework, but who find this management to be a drain on their time.

You should be able to see this window by logging in to your account and clicking on ‘Manage School’ at the top of your sidebar. Simply select a year group and a subject and you should be able to see expandable tables showing all topics and classes. You can then change settings for any individual class at topic or more fine-grained level, or make changes that apply to all the classes in single clicks. Once you’re happy with what you’ve selected you simply need to save changes and they take immediate effect.

If you cannot see the all-important ‘Manage School’ button, please speak to a member of our team so that we can enable that control for you. Likewise for any help or advice you may need, please get in touch!
