IB DP Computer Science
You can now teach IB DP Computer Science with Kognity. This new resource gives you full SL and HL coverage, complete with embedded coding environments and dual-language programming in Java and Python, as well as Paper 1 and Paper 2 exam-style questions to practice with.
Exam-style questions are fully interactive
Students can now submit their exam practice on the platform, and you can view every submission, score 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 real IB 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.
A school-wide view with 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.
Certified Professional Learning
Meet Kognity’s new professional learning program! Self-paced and interactive, it combines Kognity platform training with pedagogy aligned to IB DP curriculum. Teachers will explore practical topics including:
- Lesson planning
- Accessibility and inclusive teaching
- Data differentiated instruction
The program is accredited by the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Service.
New answer formats
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.
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.
Now also available: Kognity for MYP
Kognity for MYP gives teachers a curriculum-aligned starting point, with units scoped, concepts mapped, and assessments structured. ATL skills are built into activities and tied to assessment criteria rather than tacked on, and the content is designed so students can also work through it independently. It’s a modular course, so you can take what works for your class. Available now, starting with Integrated Sciences for MYP Years 4 and 5.
