Carna writes a test from the topic you teach and marks it the moment students submit.

Tests written from the coursebook unit you teach

Reports in Carna: the class average, what has been handed in, and every course's average score beside the class's score distribution. Carna School London is a sample school; the names and scores are demo data.

COURSEBOOKS ON SMARTBOARD

The books your school already uses.

Smartboard holds 53 interactive coursebooks. A teacher opens one on the classroom board, students open the same book on their own screens, and your school chooses which classes get each one.

HOW IT WORKS

Start from the page you already teach.

Set a test up yourself, build it from the coursebook and units you teach, or align it to the MEB (Maarif) learning outcomes for the class you pick. Carna writes the questions, you approve them, and the marks fill the class picture. Which paths a teacher sees is your school's setting.

  1. The page you teach

    Pick your coursebook and the unit. Carna starts from there.

  2. Carna writes the test

    You edit, replace or approve every question.

  3. Marked on submit

    Against your answer key. Essays wait for a teacher.

  4. The class you see

    Who to look at first: not started, overdue, low score.

From the first question to the last score.

Build the test from the page you teach, assign it with the rules you want, watch students solve it, and open any one of them in full.

Test Generation in Carna, on the Custom Test path. Carna School London is a sample school; the grammar rules and settings are demo data.

Deadlines that hold.

Choose the module, the whole class or just a few students, the due date and the attempts. One action assigns and publishes it, and late work is refused unless you allow it.

  • Whole class or named students
  • A due window and an attempt cap
  • Late work refused unless you allow it

Section by section, with an answer sheet.

Students open the work their teacher assigned and answer it section by section, with their own rail still in view. The answer sheet lists every question and says what is left before they finish.

  • The passage, then its questions
  • An answer sheet, one cell per question

One student, in full.

Open one student: their average against the class, what they handed in, how many tries it took and what came in late, course by course. Every score is the latest attempt, so nothing here is a final mark.

  • Average against the class
  • Submitted, attempts and late work
  • Course by course, with late work marked

MARKING

Marked the moment they submit.

Learn, practice, review: marking is what closes that loop, and it happens on submission, not on a teacher's evening. Essays and speaking, which have no answer key, come back to a person.

  • NINE QUESTION TYPES

    Every question type, marked on submission.

    Nine of Carna's eleven question types are marked against the answer key the moment a student submits, with no teacher and no AI involved. Pick an answer to see the mark.

  • THE DECISION

    AI suggests. Your teacher decides.

    Essays and speaking have no answer key. An AI grade arrives as a suggestion, labelled that way, with a CEFR band, a score, how sure the model is and why. Nothing becomes a student's mark until a teacher decides.

    Reports in Carna: the essay grading queue, and Essay Writing gradings after a teacher's decision. Names, reasoning and scores are samples.

A listening test, with a voice per speaker
Choose Listening when you generate a test. Carna writes a short talk or dialogue, gives each speaker a voice of their own, and writes the questions to go with it.
One voice per speaker, every turn
It remembers what it wrote
Carna keeps the last 120 questions it wrote for you for 90 days, and turns away new ones that are too close to them. Generate the same topic again and the new test steers clear of the old one.
Kept per teacher
Saved as they go
Answers save as students work and come back when they sign in again, on the same device or another one. Each student's work stays their own, even on a shared lab computer.
On the device and on the account

Speaking

Carna speaks, listens, and then waits.

In a speaking task Carna takes its turn, hears the student's, and comes back with a CEFR band and a score, as a suggestion. A generated listening dialogue gives each speaker a voice of their own.

  • Carna speaks its line, then listens
  • A CEFR band and a score come back as a suggestion
  • A teacher decides the grade

EVERYONE'S SHARE

Everyone sees their own share.

A teacher opens the class and the students to look at first. A student opens the work that is due. A parent follows one student with a code that student makes. Your school decides who arrives in which class.

A student's own screen in Carna: the work their teacher assigned, soonest first, each course with its level, its skills and its due date. Carna School London is a sample school; the student, the courses and the dates are demo data.

A student creates a pairing code in Settings. The code is a sample.
The parent portal: one student's progress, and nothing about the rest of the class. The name and numbers are samples.
  • Each person arrives in the right class

    Matched on the exact email address

    Your school's pre-approved list holds student and teacher email addresses, each with a class. When someone on the list first signs in to Carna, including with Google, they join that class, with no code to hand out. Each entry is used once, and an unused one can be revoked.

    • Someone can be taken off the roster or concluded at the end of a term, then brought back later.
  • No email needed

    Email or username, one sign-in box

    Students can sign in with a username instead of an email, typed into the same box. When students are imported, the usernames and passwords your school already uses can come with them, and Carna creates only the ones left blank.

    • Anyone can see their trusted devices and recent sign-ins, and sign out everywhere.
    • Your school keeps a record of every batch of accounts it issued — who was added, how, by whom and when — and can download it. No password is kept in it.

WHERE TO GO NEXT

One engine. Two surfaces.

A school and a company use the same Carna underneath: the same test generation, the same marking, the same eight skills.
