What's new in Kognity for Cambridge IGCSE™
This school year, Kognity does more of the heavy lifting. We’ve been busy adding features and updates across the platform: more realistic exam practice, quicker feedback, and a clearer picture for school leaders. Here’s what’s new, and how it helps you and your students.
Exam practice is now fully interactive
Students can now submit their test practice questions on the platform, and you can view every submission, grade it, and give feedback in one place. Questions are easy to find and quick to assign, so putting them in front of your class only takes a couple of clicks. Kognity makes exam prep a natural process for your students, so they can arrive in exam season confident and ready.
Autoscoring: cut grading time, keep control
Coming soon! Kognity’s new autoscoring feature for teachers suggests scores based on the real assessment requirements, but also explains how it reached them. It was developed with IB experts and learning designers, built on a straightforward principle: AI can suggest, but a teacher always reviews and decides what reaches students.
New answer formats: equations, diagrams, and formatted text
Whether it’s a worked equation in Mathematics, a labeled diagram in the sciences, a structured response in English… Kognity now supports formatted text, mathematical notation, and drawing, so students can submit their answers on the platform in the right way.
The new Admin Dashboard
For coordinators and school leaders, the new Admin Dashboard gives a clear overview of usage across the whole school, with the option to look inside individual classrooms. At a glance you can see where teachers might need a hand, follow student progress, and decide where your time and resources will make the most difference.
Private notes for you, feedback for your students
Teachers can now leave private notes on a student’s submission, either just for their own reference or as feedback to send straight to the student. It’s a simple way to keep track of what you’re noticing across a class assignment or activity, and to respond individually without juggling a separate spreadsheet.
A cleaner, quicker way around the platform
We’ve refreshed the platform’s navigation and library pages, so it’s faster to move between your resources, lessons, and assessments. A small change that saves clicks every day.
Bring your own teaching materials into Kognity
Teachers can now upload images and links to worksheets, articles, case studies, and more, making them instantly available to students alongside Kognity content.
