Student accounts and reworked dashboard tools are new additions
Promethean’s new school edition of ClassFlow now supports blended learning environments, letting schools assign students their own student accounts, which can be accessed from anywhere.
ClassFlow [1] is an online platform for uploading and disseminating multimedia lessons and formative assessments. Data is collected about each student for teacher use. Students can also log on and receive assignments, similar to an LMS.
The student accounts also provide access to a cloud-based storage drive, or “digital backpack,” where students can upload and organize their own learning resources and materials for reference. A new assignment tracker monitors individual student progress by accessing real-time metrics on the status of outstanding assessments and assignments.

The latest release of ClassFlow now offers a new suite of dashboard tools for teachers and students. Features include:
- Class homepage – Teachers can post announcements, send reminders and communicate with individual students outside the classroom. The students can also ask questions as a part of the same comments stream.
- Student dashboard –Enables students to manage time by tracking their daily schedule of activities, lessons, assignments and assessments across all of their classes.
- Teacher dashboard – Enables teachers to get a consolidated view of the most important class information such as lessons delivered, status of assignments and the class’ calendar.
- Teacher calendar – Acts as a launch pad for the teacher’s daily activities. Once scheduled, teachers can deliver their lessons and assignments directly from the calendar.
As part of the latest upgrade, Promethean has also introduced software for Windows or Mac OS that allows teachers to capture and share their screen when displaying content from any website, document or application.
“The latest version of ClassFlow was specifically designed in response to the instructional realities of today,” said Promethean Chief Marketing and Products Officer Scott Cary. “Improving learning outcomes by raising the level of engagement, feedback and collaboration amongst teachers and students shouldn’t be limited to the four walls of a classroom. Through blended learning initiatives, students can connect to learning resources, their teachers and their peers wherever they are, enabling learning to continue beyond school hours.”
