Short answer

How do I see who hasn't turned in work?

Your AI pulls the list of assignments and their current statuses from your courses. It can then tell you exactly which students are missing work or which submissions are late. You get a clear list of names and missing tasks immediately.

The results you get.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes classroom data into these specific outcomes.

The AI moves from scanning your courses to inspecting specific student entries.

  1. Find assignments
