New releasePublished: 13 April 2026

Group work cockpit

A local classroom tool for structured group work without login, tracking or personal data.

Plan the setup, start the work phases and project the learner view. Roles rotate without name lists, quality criteria stay visible and a short wrap-up reflection is already built in.

Wrap-up prompts

Use these for a one-minute closure before handoff or presentation.

What genuinely moved your group forward today?
Which role or agreement did not work cleanly yet?
What would need to become simpler or clearer in the next phase?

All settings stay only on this device. The tool does not store names or personal data.

Inside the cockpit

What the webapp takes over during class.

The interface combines teacher moderation and learner view so group work becomes easier to steer and calmer to run.

Live phase board

Short task, standard lesson or double lesson with visible timer, current focus and next checkpoint.

Role rotation

Moderation, time, material, quality and presentation are assigned to match group size.

Definition of done

Quality criteria are already prepared for posters, short presentations, explanations or prototypes.

Wrap-up reflection

At the end, the class still sees concrete prompts about collaboration, product quality and the next step.

School fit

Where the cockpit is strongest.

Its biggest value comes when groups need fast orientation and teachers want structure without adding another service.

Lower secondary / project work

Fast project starts

Goal, roles, first milestone and deliverable become visible within minutes.

Across subjects

Calmer group phases

Instead of repeated verbal reminders, groups can always see what matters now.

BYOD / iPad / projector

Device-flexible

The app works on phones, laptops or projected at the front of the room.

Privacy-light

No accounts, no names

The app organizes groups, roles and tasks, not personal profiles.
