FAQ

Frequently asked questions for schools and teachers.

What does Edova replace?

Usually the course platform, the marks spreadsheet and the emails you send parents about marks. Courses, assignments, marking, the gradebook and parent access sit in one place, so nothing gets copied between tools.

How long does setup take?

We’ll help you set up your workspace after the demo. You can then invite staff and enrol classes from a list.

Can I start without involving my school?

Yes. Book a demo and we set up a workspace for you; no one at your school needs to approve it.

Does the AI decide my students’ grades?

No. AI suggests a grade and provides a short comment for each answer based on your rubric. You read the draft, change whatever you disagree with, and nothing reaches a student until you publish it. The draft gives you a head start. You decide the grade.

What does it mark the work against?

Your own rubric. When you set an assignment, you say what a good answer looks like and how many marks each part is worth: the same information you’d give students anyway. The drafts follow your standards.

How is our school’s data kept separate?

Each school’s workspace uses a separate database, and its database password is encrypted at rest. Your courses, submissions and marks are never stored alongside another school’s.

What can teaching assistants do?

Teaching assistants can perform only the actions you permit. You decide per course what an assistant can do, and you can take marking away on a single assignment, such as the final exam. Every step a paper moves through is recorded with who moved it.

What do parents see?

Parents can view their own child’s published grades, submitted work status and grade trends — but nothing else. They can look but not touch: they can’t see other students or interfere with coursework.

What happens if our wallet runs out?

Nothing stops. Students can continue submitting work, and teachers can continue their usual grading activities. Work waiting for its suggested grades starts again by itself once you top up or next month’s allowance arrives. An empty wallet doesn’t stop students from learning or submitting work.

Can we get our data out?

Yes. The gradebook exports to CSV, students can download their own marks as a CSV transcript, and anyone can ask for their account to be deleted from their profile.
