Three jobs that eat a teacher's week, each beside the part of the app that takes it on. 1. Marking a class's essays by hand takes the evenings that planning should have had. ### AI suggests, you decide Essays arrive with an AI suggestion: a score, a CEFR level and how sure it is, with what went well and what to work on. Nothing is recorded until you approve or change it, and a changed mark says so. A suggestion, not a grade 2. Building fresh, level-appropriate tests from scratch is slow, repetitive work that rarely scales. ### Tests without a blank page Start from scratch or from the coursebook you teach, then set the level, the categories and the question types. You preview, edit and approve every question before the test is saved. Three ways to start 3. Without one place that shows a student's work course by course, finding out why someone is stuck means guessing. ### See where a student is stuck 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. Course by course In the teacher app ## A lesson's work, in one app. Build the test, assign it, read the class: the screens teachers use today, shown with a sample school. - Test - Assign - Report ### No blank page.

Nine of the eleven question types are marked against the answer key the moment a student submits, with no AI involved. Essays arrive as a labelled suggestion — a score, a CEFR level, how sure it is and why — and nothing is recorded until you approve or change it. - **question types marked the moment a student submits**: 9 of 11 - **ways to start a test, one of them your coursebook**: 3 - **the CEFR levels a test can target, in eight stages**: A1–C2 Reports in the Carna teacher app: the essay grading queue, and Essay Writing gradings after a teacher's decision. Names, reasoning and scores are samples. FAQ ## Common questions. Straight answers for the teacher who will use it, and for whoever brings it into the school. ### Does Carna work alongside my existing coursebook? Yes. Test Generation can start from the book and the units you teach, and your school can send us its units to be turned into interactive, auto-graded lessons; nothing goes live until your team approves it. ### Is Carna designed for school use, or can private tutors use it too? Carna for Schools is licensed to institutions, so a teacher gets it through their school. Private tutors and individual learners can join the early-access list for Carna's individual tutor, and we will write when it opens. ### Does the AI give the final grade? No. Nine of the eleven question types are marked against the answer key the moment a student submits, with no AI involved. Essays arrive as a labelled AI suggestion, and nothing is recorded until you approve or change it. Reports show each student's latest attempt, not a final mark. ### How much training does it take to get started? Assigning is one window: pick a module, choose the class or a few students, set the due date and the attempts, and one action assigns and publishes it.
