More than a submission box

A whole unit of work, in one assignment

A Synap assignment isn’t just an upload box. It’s an ordered set of tasks — readings, videos and notes, quizzes and surveys, written answers and file submissions — that a learner works through to a deadline.

Auto-marked quizzes are scored instantly, and submissions are marked by your team — so a single assignment can mix things that mark themselves with work that needs a human eye.

Explore authoring & question types

  • Mixed-media content

    Combine readings, videos, notes and embeds into one task.

  • Quizzes & surveys

    Auto-marked questions and surveys inside the assignment.

  • File & project uploads

    Upload a document, or zip and submit a whole project.

  • Written answers

    Text-entry responses for essays and short-form work.

Deadlines & groups

Set the window, track the progress

Give each assignment a start and end date and a deadline, and set different deadlines for different groups of learners. Grant extra time where it’s needed, per candidate.

As learners work through the tasks, you can see their progress and completion — so you always know where a cohort is up to.

  • Start, end & deadline dates

    Control exactly when an assignment opens, closes and is due.

  • Per-group deadlines

    Different cohorts can have different deadlines on the same task.

  • Extra time

    Grant extended time to individual candidates who need it.

  • Progress & completion

    Track how far each learner has got through the assignment.

Marking & feedback

Mark, moderate and certify

Mark submissions consistently with detailed rubrics and multiple marker roles — provisional, moderating, back-reading and auditing — with resolution rules that turn several markers’ scores into a defensible final mark.

Release feedback and mark schemes to learners when you’re ready, and issue a verifiable certificate on successful completion.

What our customers say

  • The platform structure (library items placed into collections) makes multiple course variations very easy, saving significant amounts of time. Easily the best learning platform I have worked with or interacted with as a student.
