📚 Use Cases
Classmoji is built to support a wide range of teaching styles—from traditional assignments to project-based learning. Below are common classroom scenarios where Classmoji shines.
🧑🏫 Managing Individual Assignments
Ideal for: Intro courses, programming labs, or data structures
The challenge: Creating and managing a repo for each student, ensuring they submit correctly, and giving feedback at scale.

- 📋 Assignments are posted as GitHub issues
- 🔒 Submissions happen by closing the issue
- 😊 Feedback is given through emojis and optional comments
👥 Supporting Team Projects
Ideal for: Capstone projects, group-based assignments, or peer collaboration
The challenge: Coordinating teams, repos, permissions, and grading fairness.
- 👥 Teams are assigned through the dashboard
- 📁 One shared repo is generated per team
- 📝 Issues can be created for teams just like individuals
- 🤝 TAs can be assigned to specific teams
- ⭐ Feedback and tokens apply to the team, not individuals
⏳ Flexible Deadlines with Tokens
Ideal for: Classes that value structure and flexibility
The challenge: Handling late submissions without constant exceptions.
- 🪙 Students are given tokens at the start of the term
- ⏰ Submitting late deducts tokens automatically
- 🙅♂️ No need for instructors to manually approve extensions
- ⚖️ Instructors can award, refund, or restrict token usage
🧑🏫 Coordinating with Teaching Assistants
Ideal for: Large or multi-section courses with shared grading
The challenge: Keeping grading consistent and avoiding duplication.
