⭐From In-Class Tasks to After-Class Homework: A Complete HiTeach Assignment Workflow

HiTeach connects real-time in-class task collection with asynchronous homework
One HiTeach teaching environment supports instant classroom collection and keeps learning moving before and after class.
Distributing worksheets, collecting student work, assigning speaking practice, and reviewing homework are everyday teaching routines. HiTeach provides a complete workflow for different learning rhythms: use Task Works for real-time collection during class, and use the HiTeach Contact Book to publish homework, assessments, and learning information for students to complete asynchronously.

One Platform, Two Learning Rhythms

SYNCHRONOUS IN CLASSHiTeach Task Works + Web IRS

Send image, audio, or file tasks during the lesson. Students submit immediately, while the teacher monitors progress and moves directly into display, feedback, scoring, or peer review.

ASYNCHRONOUS BEFORE OR AFTER CLASSHiTeach Contact Book + hiteach.cc

Schedule messages, homework, and assessments for a selected class and date. Students use their access codes to view and complete activities, while families can follow course-related updates.

These workflows complement one another. A teacher can publish preview materials through the Contact Book, collect evidence with Task Works during class, and assign corrections or extended practice afterward. One activity becomes a continuous learning cycle.

Asynchronous Learning: Extend Teaching with the HiTeach Contact Book

For everyday learning before and after class, the HiTeach Contact Book is the recommended starting point. From the HiTeach side panel, teachers can open Cloud / Contact Book, select a course and date, and add text, links, images, assessments, or homework. They can schedule the next learning step without leaving the familiar HiTeach environment to sign in to a separate browser-based administration page.

1Teacher schedules a task

Select the class and date, then add instructions, a link, an image, homework, or an assessment.

2Student views the activity

Students use individual access codes at hiteach.cc to see today's messages and learning tasks.

3Student submits work

Open the homework page, review the requirements and deadline, then enter content or upload files.

4Feedback drives learning

Results and teacher feedback become the basis for revision, review, and extended practice.

Familiar Access for Teachers, Students, and Families

  • Teachers: Publish and update Contact Book content directly from HiTeach, keeping preparation, instruction, and follow-up connected.
  • Students: Use the individual access code in the course roster to enter hiteach.cc without memorizing another complex account and password.
  • Families: After connecting the student's access code, parents or guardians can view Contact Book information related to that learner.

For assignments that require more detailed scheduling, attachment-format rules, online annotation, scores, written feedback, or class-wide result exports, the existing IES + AClass ONE workflow remains available. Teachers can choose the most efficient entry point for the complexity of the activity rather than being limited to one method.

Synchronous Learning: See Every Submission as the Lesson Unfolds

For work that students need to complete and discuss during class, teachers can use Task Works in HiTeach Professional Edition. A task may begin with a whiteboard page, PowerPoint slide, web page, or prepared HiTeach page. The teacher then chooses an image, audio, or file task and sends it to students through Web IRS.

Students complete the task and tap Send. The collection window on the teacher's screen immediately shows who has submitted and displays the work received. Teachers no longer need to check every desk or wait until after class to discover which students need support.

HiTeach Task Works sends classroom tasks and displays real-time submission status

Images, Audio, and Files Reveal Different Kinds of Learning

  • Image tasks: Collect photos of paper worksheets, handwritten solutions, drawings, hands-on products, or learning-process evidence.
  • Audio tasks: Support reading aloud, speaking practice, language expression, performance, reflection, or oral explanations.
  • File tasks: Gather documents, presentations, and other completed digital work in one classroom collection window.

Once work is collected, the teacher can select representative examples for display, comparison, and feedback, then continue with scoring, voting, or peer review. Student submissions are not merely stored; they become immediate resources for whole-class learning.

Export Classroom Data and Student Work Before Closing HiTeach

To preserve the collected work, export classroom data and student submissions before ending the lesson, or after ending it but before starting the next lesson. HiTeach exports the classroom data file and a ZIP archive of student work, helping teachers review, organize, and back up submissions by task and student number.

Turn Assignment Management into Continuous Learning Design

A complete assignment system does more than publish and collect work. It helps teachers gather learning evidence at the right moment and use it to determine what happens next. HiTeach connects synchronous and asynchronous workflows for practical scenarios such as:

  • Pre-class preparation: Publish a video, reading, link, or short assessment through the Contact Book before students arrive.
  • In-class diagnosis: Collect a worksheet, solution photo, oral response, or digital file and quickly identify differences in understanding.
  • Learning from student work: Select submissions for comparison, feedback, scoring, or peer review so students can refine their thinking.
  • After-class consolidation: Use the Contact Book to assign corrections, additional practice, or extension tasks based on classroom evidence.
Respond in real time during class. Keep learning moving afterward. Whether teachers collect work synchronously in the classroom or extend an activity before and after class, HiTeach connects assignment, submission, review, feedback, and archiving in one coherent learning workflow.
