Method | What the student or LMS gets | Best use | Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
Publish to LMS | Updated score in the connected LMS gradebook | When the LMS needs the official score |
|
Email feedback | A direct feedback email that can include richer feedback context than the LMS score push | When students need the feedback itself, not just the score |
|
Secure feedback link | A shareable link to the student feedback view | When you want a direct feedback URL without relying on email |
|
Student tutor | A Feedback / Tutor pivot where the student can ask questions about the returned work | When students need help understanding feedback, fixing missed steps, or practicing a similar problem |
|
PDF / ZIP download | Offline report files | When you need records, handouts, or artifacts outside the product |
|
CSV export | No student-facing artifact; staff get a spreadsheet | When you need records or operational reporting |
|
Decision checklist
- Choose LMS publishing first when the gradebook needs the official score.
- Choose email when the student needs the detailed feedback directly and the roster has valid email addresses.
- Choose a secure link when you want a direct feedback URL without relying on email delivery.
- Use the tutor when the student needs an interactive explanation after opening the feedback link.
- Choose downloads or CSV export when the audience is staff or records management rather than students.
Key points
- Completed means the result is ready inside Classwise, not that the student has already seen it.
- Google Classroom question assignments publish scores only, so use email if you also want students to receive richer feedback.
- Email delivery can be blocked by missing student email addresses or cooldown rules.
- Student tutor is attached to the secure feedback page, not the teacher dashboard. It helps students learn from returned feedback but does not change grades.
- Tutor responses are generated from the student's published feedback, submission context, protected answer key, rubric if available, and teacher instructions. Protected teacher materials are used internally and should not be exposed to students.
- Bold, italic, and underlined teacher feedback carries through to secure feedback links.
- Download actions appear only when the feedback artifact is already available.
