Lena Agent, rubrics and Lena for Schools
The agent arrives in a teacher’s day, grading moves to rubrics with a comment on every criterion, and the school app lands beside them.
Meet Lena Agent
Tell it what you need — turning an outline into a full course, drafting a quiz, answering a question about a class — and it gets to work. Chats stay organised, and each morning it says what needs you. Ask it to grade a class against your rubric and it marks the clear ones, flags the ones it is unsure of, and sends nothing to a student until you have looked.
Grading with rubrics
Build a rubric for an assignment, or reuse one you have made before, then grade each submission one criterion at a time with a comment on each. Lena works out the score. Marks and points take a decimal now, so 7.5 and 2.25 are grades.
Choosing when results land
Grades stay as drafts until you release them, and when you do, every student gets theirs at once. A quiz or an exam releases its grades and its right answers when you say so, or on its own as it closes.
Lena for Schools
A school in one place: its students, its teachers, its admins and the structure under them. Bring in a class from a spreadsheet, follow the guide in the menu to your first teacher and your first student, and give every admin the access they need and nothing more. A training centre or an independent practice runs the same way a university does.
For students
An assignment with a rubric shows what your teacher is looking for, and once you are graded, how you did on each part with their comments. Course files and your own work — PDFs, Word documents, images, video — open on the page rather than downloading.
