🎯 What Is Classmoji?​

Classmoji is a teaching platform that integrates with GitHub to let you:

  • Create repositories and assignments for students automatically
  • Use emojis to grade instead of intimidating numbers
  • Reward students with tokens they can use to get deadline extensions
  • Let students resubmit assignments based on feedback
  • Reduce workload by automatically assigning graders to assignments

It’s GitHub-based, but student-friendly.

🧩 Key Concepts​

  • Module: A GitHub repository created per student or team
  • Assignment: A GitHub issue inside a module that students "submit" by closing
  • Grading: Driven by expressive emojis that map to numerical scores
  • Tokens: A flexible system students use to manage late work

💡 Why Use Classmoji?​

  • ✅ Save time on repo setup and grading logistics
  • 😊 Give better feedback using emoji-based grading
  • 🕒 Handle late work fairly with a token system
  • 👥 Support teams and scale grading across TAs
