Live learning intelligence for classroom time
See learning while it is still happening.
While students work on a task, HandsUp shows you who has started and who has gone quiet — and, as answers are checked or marked, who is stuck and who is ready for more. You decide what to do next, during the lesson.
The problem
Teachers are asked to differentiate in real time, but most information arrives after the lesson.
Teaching contains hundreds of moments where a teacher must decide who understands, who does not, and what to do next. Most information about learning arrives after the moment has passed.
Struggle is easy to miss
Students get stuck quietly, mid-task, where it is hard to see across a class.
Help arrives late
Help often comes after the test, not during the lesson.
Thirty students, one teacher
Reading every student by eye is hard to sustain.
The moment passes
The record usually arrives once the chance to act has gone.
How HandsUp works
From the task to your next move, during the lesson.
Six steps, all available today. The teacher decides at every step.
1 · Prepare
Set up your class and type the questions for a task. Add an expected answer and marking notes if you like.
2 · Students join
Students open HandsUp in a web browser, enter your class or lesson code, and choose their name. No student account or password.
3 · See the lesson unfold
Your live view refreshes automatically during the lesson. It shows who has started and who has gone quiet. As answers are checked or marked, it also shows who is stuck and who is ready for more.
4 · See a suggested next step
For each student, HandsUp suggests a possible next move — like a check-in, a worked example or an extension task — and explains why, in plain classroom language. Suggestions come from HandsUp's rules-based learning model, not AI.
5 · You decide
Nothing reaches a student until you send it.
6 · Look back
HandsUp keeps a record of the support each student received. Afterward, you can mark answers and note whether a response appears to have helped.
Scope
Built for the live lesson.
HandsUp works alongside the systems your school already uses. It does not replace your learning management system, gradebook or student information system. It is not an AI tutor and does not teach on its own. And it is built for the live lesson, not for reporting on students after the fact.
You stay in charge
Teachers make the decisions.
HandsUp suggests. You decide. Nothing reaches a student unless a teacher chooses to send it, and every suggestion shows the evidence behind it. HandsUp does not grade students on its own, label them, or monitor them outside the task.
You choose what is sent
Teachers decide what support is sent and when.
Every suggestion shows its reasons
HandsUp shows why a suggestion from its rules-based learning model appeared, in classroom language.
Visibility, not surveillance
What HandsUp shows supports teaching decisions in the lesson — it is not monitoring.
Professional judgment matters. HandsUp provides a clear view and suggested next steps; teachers remain responsible for teaching decisions.
Who it is for
Earlier understanding, better-informed responses.
Teachers
See who needs help while there is still time to help — and differentiate in the moment.
Schools
Pilot HandsUp with a few teachers, a grade level or a whole school. Each school has its own HandsUp account for staff and classes.
Districts
A district may discuss introducing HandsUp into selected schools, with teachers using it in their classrooms.
