The live view is the heart of LearnWorkly. As soon as you assign an activity to a class, you see every student’s work on one screen: typed answers when they are saved, and drawings stroke by stroke while the student is still writing.

| Part | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Counters | Online, Submitted (or Answers when you lead one by one), To grade and Average score. |

| Gradebook | A table with one row per student and one column per question, plus the total. |

Student-paced or one by one
You can switch the pace during the lesson with Student-paced and One by one above the cards. In One by one, a bar shows Everyone sees: and the open question, with Previous and Next buttons. Students only see that question and move with you; before you open one they see a waiting message. A Practice assignment always stays self-paced.
Signs to look out for on a student’s card
- A status under the name: Working, Submitted, Submitted late, a countdown such as “4:12 left” for timed work, or Time ran out.
- A green dot on the avatar when the student is online right now.
- A new badge when the student has replied to your feedback.
- A score badge, or To grade when the answer needs your marking.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to refresh the page to see new answers?
No. Answers, submissions, replies and students joining all appear on their own. Drawings update while the student is drawing.
Can I reopen the live view later?
Yes. Every assignment is listed on the Assignments page and on the class page under Assigned to this class. Open it to see the same live view.
Can I change the settings after assigning?
Yes. Press Settings at the top of the live view to change the due date, time limit, attempts, when scores are shown and the other options.
