This document describes a tablet app called "Handouts" that aims to digitize classroom workflows by enabling the creation, distribution, annotation, collection, grading, tracking, and sharing of educational materials. It discusses how Handouts addresses the inefficiencies of physical paper handouts and allows teachers and students to access and complete assignments digitally. Metrics are provided on the growing adoption of Handouts in schools across the US since its launch in July.
6. HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
Today, schools spend considerable time delivering and
extracting information from tablets via email, Dropbox or
Google drive. It’s an extremely inefficient and frustrating
process.
Today there’s no single product that delivers a real
solution.
‘Handouts’ can solve all this.
7. THE SOLUTION: ‘HANDOUTS’ ON TABLETS
‘Handouts’ is a student/teacher workflow platform
for tablet classrooms. It addresses the creation,
distribution, collection, grading, organizing and
sharing of worksheets, printables, homework,
quizzes and assignments.
