Automated BrainPOP Assignment Coverage Check

Every Monday, WebRun signs in to BrainPOP, checks each class for assignments with a due date in the coming week, notes which topics have not been covered yet, opens a Trello card per class with a gap, and sends the summary to WhatsApp.

In short

How do I check every class has work assigned for next week?

Every Monday WebRun signs in to BrainPOP and checks each class you teach for work assigned in the coming week, along with the topics not yet covered. WebRun opens a Trello card for every class with a gap and sends the list to WhatsApp, so no class starts the week empty.

  • No class starts the week with nothing assigned
  • Uncovered topics are named while there is still term left
  • Gaps arrive as owned Trello cards, not a mental note

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it assign work to students by itself?

No. WebRun reports which classes have nothing scheduled and which topics are uncovered. Creating and releasing an assignment stays with the teacher.

Does it contact students or parents?

No. The only message it sends is to your internal staff WhatsApp group. Students and parents are never contacted, and no student names leave your account.

Can it cover several teachers at once?

Yes. Point it at a shared account and it checks every class on it, then groups the Trello cards and the WhatsApp summary by teacher.

Put this on autopilot.
