Checkpoints are the serious part – syllabus-aligned knowledge checks and homework that students meet as gates in the world. They answer by playing, get graded on what they actually understand, and every result streams straight to you. No separate quiz app. No join codes.
A Checkpoint isn't a slide with a quiz bolted on. Each question is a gate the student has to earn their way through – and the whole time, you're watching it land. Step through one:
Buzz-in quiz apps reward whoever mashes the button fastest, and the anxious kid who knew the answer loses to the guesser who didn't. Checkpoints score mastery. There is no speed leaderboard, no penalty for careful thinking – only whether the concept actually landed.
Assign a Checkpoint as homework and the same living world goes home with each student – no login maze, no worksheet PDF, no "I forgot the join code." They play it that evening, and the graded results are waiting on your dashboard before the next lesson.
Students prove the idea by acting on the world – balancing, building, sorting – so a right answer means they can actually do it, not just recognise it.
Every checkpoint feeds a mastery bar per skill. It's graded on what's understood, never how fast the button was pressed – no leaderboard, no anxiety tax.
Send the world home with one link. Students play it anywhere, and the auto-graded results come straight back to your dashboard – no marking, no join codes.
Open a live Axis checkpoint and answer it the way your students would – by playing – then watch the mastery result register the moment you solve it.
No. Buzz-in quizzes reward speed and reward guessing. A Checkpoint is answered by doing something in the world, and it's graded on mastery – a careful correct answer scores exactly the same as a fast one.
Yes. Checkpoints are built to the outcomes and level you teach, so they map to your scheme of work rather than to whatever trivia a generic quiz maker throws up. You can edit or reweight any gate.
You send one link and the world travels home. It runs in any browser with no install and no join code, and the auto-graded results return to your dashboard automatically.
No. Every Checkpoint is auto-graded the instant it's solved, and each attempt updates the student's mastery bar. You review the picture in Plots, not a stack of scripts.
