Most homework in Nepal is still done the right way — by hand, in an exercise book. The problem has never been how students do the work; it is what happens next. A teacher with five classes faces a tall stack of books every evening, and the more time that stack takes, the less feedback each student actually gets. We wanted to shorten that loop without pretending handwriting had gone away.
Submit the work as it really is
A student can photograph their handwritten homework and submit the picture — one page or several — instead of copying everything out again on a screen. The work stays authentically theirs, done in their own book, and the teacher receives it without a pile of paper to carry home.
A head start on marking, not a replacement for it
When work comes in, the teacher is offered a first pass: a read of what was written and a draft sense of where it went right and wrong, with notes placed on the page itself. Crucially, this is a starting point the teacher edits, not a verdict. They can change the annotations, adjust the grade, rewrite the feedback, or throw it out — the mark that reaches the student is always the teacher's own.
Feedback that arrives while it still matters
The point of shortening the marking loop is not to mark more; it is to return feedback while the student still remembers doing the work. A correction that comes back the next day lands; one that comes back in two weeks is noise. By taking the mechanical part of marking off the teacher's plate, we hope to make timely, specific feedback the normal case rather than the exception.
We are careful about where the line sits. Tools like this should carry the load a teacher never wanted — the sorting, the first read, the tidy layout — and leave the judgement, the encouragement, and the knowing-this-child part firmly with the person teaching them.
