Classroom

The Classroom is your personal view of your teaching world -- the subjects you teach, the students in them, and the observations you make over time. It is your reference system, not a gradebook, LMS, or attendance tracker.

The real power of Classroom is how it connects to AI. When you generate feedback or report cards, Mossie pulls from the notes you have accumulated about each student. The more you observe, the more personalized the output.

What Classroom is NOT

Before diving in, a quick clarification:

  • Not a gradebook -- Use your school's system for grades and official marks
  • Not an LMS -- Mossie does not replace Google Classroom, Canvas, or similar systems
  • Not an attendance system -- Use your school's system for attendance
  • Not a parent portal -- Parents do not have access to Mossie

Classroom is YOUR personal reference. It is independent of school systems.

Subjects

Create subjects to organize your teaching:

  1. Go to Classroom (via the sidebar on web, or bottom navigation on mobile)
  2. Tap Add Subject
  3. Enter a subject name (e.g., "Year 5 Maths", "Grade 8 English")
  4. Optionally add a grade level and description

Each subject can have its own set of students. You can create as many subjects as you need.

Tip

Use descriptive names that include the grade or class. "Year 5 Maths - Period 2" is more useful than just "Maths" when you teach multiple classes.

Students

Add students to your subjects so you can log observations and generate personalized content.

Adding Students Manually

  1. Open a subject
  2. Tap Add Student
  3. Enter a student name or identifier

Importing from CSV

For larger classes, import students from a CSV file:

  1. Open a subject
  2. Tap the import option
  3. Select a CSV file with student names (one name per row)
  4. Review the import and confirm

Using Anonymous Identifiers

You do not need to use real names. Mossie works with any identifier you choose:

  • "Student A", "Student B"
  • "Blue Group", "Red Group"
  • Nicknames, initials, or codes

This is your choice -- Mossie does not require student PII.

Students in Multiple Subjects

A student can belong to more than one subject. When you add a student who already exists in another subject, Mossie links them so all notes and observations are consolidated under one profile.

Archiving Students

When a student leaves your class or the school year ends:

  1. Open the student's profile
  2. Tap Archive
  3. The student's data is preserved but moved out of your active view

Archived students can be restored later if needed.

Performance Notes

Performance notes are the core of the Classroom feature. They are observations you log about individual students over time.

Note Categories

Each note has a category:

Category Use for
General Any observation that does not fit the other categories
Behavior Behavioral observations, positive or concerning
Academic Academic progress, skill development, assessment results
Participation Engagement in class activities and discussions
Engagement Motivation, interest, effort levels
Other Anything else you want to record

Creating Notes Manually

  1. Open a student's profile
  2. Tap Add Note
  3. Select a category
  4. Type your observation
  5. Save

Notes are time-stamped automatically.

Creating Notes via Voice Capture

Use Quick Capture on your Home screen or your Apple Watch:

"Emma showed great improvement in her reading comprehension today"

Mossie automatically:

  1. Transcribes the recording
  2. Detects "Emma" and matches her to your student roster
  3. Identifies "reading comprehension" and links to the relevant subject
  4. Creates a performance note under Emma's profile

This is the fastest way to log observations during a busy school day. See the Voice Capture guide for more details.

Viewing Note History

Open any student's profile to see their full note history, organized chronologically. Filter by category or date range to find specific observations.

How Classroom Powers AI Generation

The notes you accumulate about students directly feed into Mossie's AI assistants:

Individual Feedback

When you generate feedback for a student:

  1. Open the student's profile
  2. Tap Generate Feedback
  3. Select a time period (this week, this term, custom range)
  4. Choose a tone (supportive, neutral, balanced)
  5. Mossie pulls all relevant notes from that period and drafts personalized feedback

The output references actual observations you have made, not generic statements.

Bulk Report Cards

Generate report card comments for an entire class at once:

  1. Open a subject
  2. Tap Report Cards
  3. Select the reporting period
  4. Mossie generates individualized comments for every student in the class, drawing from each student's accumulated notes
  5. Review and edit each comment before copying to your school's report card system

The more notes you have logged, the more specific and useful the generated comments will be.

Other AI Features

Your student data and notes also provide context for:

  • Newsletter -- Can reference class activities and highlights
  • Parent Communication -- Individual messages can reference a student's recent observations
  • Custom Assistants -- Your custom assistants can pull from performance notes as a context source

Tips

  • Log notes regularly -- Even brief observations ("Emma participated well in group work today") build up over time into a detailed picture
  • Use Voice Capture -- It is faster than typing, especially during class
  • Be specific -- "Strong multiplication skills, struggles with word problems" is more useful than "doing OK in maths"
  • Use categories consistently -- Makes it easier to filter and find notes later
  • Start with key students -- If logging every student feels overwhelming, focus on the students who need the most attention first
