02 · Assign

Put work in front of the class, with rules that hold.

A module, a generated test or practice from the library: you choose what the class gets, and who gets it.

One action, and the class has its work.

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

  • The whole class or specific students
  • A due window and an attempt cap
  • Late submissions off unless you allow them

03 · Mark & review

AI suggests a grade. You decide.

For essays, Carna proposes a score, a CEFR level and how sure it is, with the reasoning open: what went well, what to work on. Nothing is recorded until a teacher approves or changes it.

  • A suggestion, not a grade, until you approve it
  • The reasoning open: what went well, what to work on
  • "Changed by teacher" on every mark you overrode

05 · The learner's side

The same homework, from the student's side.

Students open Carna to everything their teacher assigned, soonest due first, and pick up where they stopped. A quiz is solved section by section with an answer sheet; a book is read aloud with the word being read lit up.

  • Everything assigned, in order

Announcements, and the people around a student.

QUESTIONS

Questions teachers and heads ask.

Short answers; the screen that shows each one is in the chapters above.

Does the AI give final grades?

No. For essays, Carna proposes a score, a CEFR level and how sure it is, with the reasoning open. Nothing is recorded until a teacher approves or changes it, and the gradings table shows when a teacher changed a mark.

Is Test Generation ready to use?

It is in beta. You set the level, the categories and the question types, start from scratch, from your coursebook or from the MEB curriculum, and you preview, edit and approve every question before it is saved.

Can a teacher refuse late work?

Yes. When you assign a module you choose the class or the students, the due window, the number of attempts and whether late submissions are allowed. One action assigns and publishes it.

What do parents see?

A parent enters the pairing code their child creates in Settings and sees that one student: assigned and completed work, attempts, the average result and notifications. Nothing about the rest of the class.

Is the data on this page real?

The screens are the Carna app for schools and businesses, shown with a sample school, Carna School London, and demo students. The names, dates and scores are samples; the features are the shipped product, and anything in beta says so.
