#How does Brainko work?

Brainko is a comprehensive, modern, and easy-to-use learning platform. Its goal is to help teachers make learning more fun & effective.

1. With a few clicks, you can create a class, add your material and organize it in topics. Brainko supports more than 10 question & item types, such as multiple choice, fill in the blanks, open questions, videos, essay, etc. For each question, you can add images, hints, and math formulas. We built the interface to be intuitive and convenient for creating questions quickly.

2. Simply send the class link to your students so that they can join and start learning.
   You can assign the questions you added to students as a worksheet, or quiz, or mix them in a multiplayer game to engange your class.

3. While students are solving questions, you can see their progress in real-time.
   I.e., when a student answers a question, you will immediately see if their answer was correct in the lesson dashboard table. This way you will understand your class and see who needs help in real-time, as well as gain valuable insights into which questions were most challenging for students so that you can focus on those.

4. Aside from the material & games, the platform enables you to manage your class digitally. For example you can send messages to students, share files & pictures on the class feed, take attendance, add grades, chat with a specific student, and more.
