What can teachers actually do with sayit's classroom console?

sayit's classroom console gives a teacher a join code students use to enroll, a way to assign specific passages or cue cards as homework, and a gradebook that fills itself automatically as students actually complete those takes — turning daily pronunciation homework into something a teacher can assign and review without marking every recording by hand.

30-second version: An institute is provisioned as an organization; teachers get join codes their students use to enroll, assign passages or cue cards to the class, and watch a gradebook populate itself as students record and get scored. Parents can get weekly progress mail. Certificates can be issued. The whole plane runs on the same scoring engine as the regular app — a teacher isn't grading anything by ear, they're reading results the engine already produced.

How do students actually join a class?

Through a join code — students enter a code their teacher provides to enroll in a class, rather than needing to be individually set up one by one. That keeps onboarding a class of thirty roughly as fast as onboarding one student, which matters for a feature meant to reduce a teacher's workload, not add administrative overhead to it.

What does "assigning a passage" actually mean for the student?

A teacher picks a passage or a cue card and assigns it to the class; students then see it as something to complete, read it aloud, and get it scored the same way any take in the app is scored — per word, with the full accuracy and fluency breakdown. The assignment mechanism is really just pointing students at specific practice material and tracking who's done it, on top of the same engine that scores every other take in sayit.

How does the gradebook fill itself in?

Directly from the scored results of assigned work — there's no separate grading step where a teacher listens to recordings and assigns marks by hand. As students complete an assignment, their scores populate the gradebook automatically, which is precisely what makes daily spoken homework practical for a teacher to assign at all: without automatic scoring, checking thirty students' pronunciation homework by ear every day simply isn't something most teachers have time for.

What do parents see?

Weekly progress mail, when the feature is enabled for a class — a periodic summary rather than something parents have to log in and check for themselves. That keeps the loop visible to more than just the teacher and student without requiring anyone to actively go looking for it.

Is any of this the same scoring engine as the regular app, or a separate teacher-facing system?

The same engine. Every score in the gradebook comes from the identical phoneme-level pipeline that scores any take in sayit — the classroom console is a management and reporting layer on top of that engine, not a parallel or simplified scoring system built specifically for classrooms.

What's in the classroom console, at a glance

Is this different from the API institutes can integrate directly?

Yes — the classroom console is a ready-to-use interface institutes can start with immediately; a more direct API integration is a separate path for institutes that want to build their own interface around sayit's scoring rather than using the built-in one.

If you're evaluating sayit for a school or language centre, the classroom console is the fastest way to see the loop end to end: a join code, an assigned passage, and a gradebook that fills itself in as students actually practice.
