Formative is a platform that lets teachers see the responses of a whole
class at one time—even open-response and hand-drawn responses. Teachers create
assessments from scratch right in the Formative platform, or upload an existing
PDF or Word document and build a quiz from there. Students access the
assessments by entering a class code on their own devices. Then, as students take the assessments, the teacher can look at his or her own device and see what each student is writing simultaneously; each student’s work appears in its own little square and fills up in real time.
