Pedagogy
Educational Quality
Learning Goals

The pedagogical analysis covers how the product supports learning of the identified skills. The student’s role is assessed by four contrary pair parameters, which are selected to cover the most essential aspects on the use of the product.

Passive
Active
Classtime offers interactions that give the teacher a freedom to design several options on how to learn. This way Classtime adapts to teachers' activities and needs. In order to progress the user is required to acquire and use new information. The different types of questions and settings allow the user to control the amount of engagement the pupils have to give to achieve the goals.
Rehearse
Construct
When used efficiently, Classtime features allow quite constructive learning experience, where the prior skills or knowledge needs to be used in conjunction with new. There are several ways for adding content and several interaction options, so the teacher can create tasks where the students can apply the knowledge they get. Rating one’s learning experience is a good reflection moment.
Linear
Non-linear/Creative
The answer-table on the teacher-screen is good enough for comparing the student's answers and their progress. The downloadable results are good, if you want them archived or printed out. The lesson progress can be scheduled accurately, and each session can be designed to have a clear start and finish. The solution provides accurately predictable learning outcomes: If the user thinks through his lesson and his questions, the outcome of the learners is highly predictable.
Individual
Collaborative
When playing individually, the user's progress depends only on the user's own action. The collaborative challenges also make the learners work together and compete against other users, and they are a fun way of creating a challenge. When playing individually, the user can act and progress autonomously and set their personal learning targets.

The following are the high educational quality aspects in this product.

The solution is very motivational and easy to understand. Students like to work together in a group-challenge, as they become each important to a part of a group-task.
The results of a lesson are extensive and detailed. The teacher can compare the learning progress of each pupil very easy with the peer-group.
Sharing and searching good question sets in Classtime is easy and helps the teacher in designing their lessons.

The supported learning goals are identified by matching the product with several relevant curricula descriptions on this subject area. The soft skills are definitions of learning goals most relevant for the 21st century. They are formed by taking a reference from different definitions of 21st century skills and Finnish curriculum.
