Class Streams: Solution for Organised and Connected Learning

We are delighted to introduce a unified space where student work, classroom resources, and communication come together, making life easier for teachers, learners, and families. ManageBac+ Class Streams bring an enhanced level of collaboration to the classroom. No more jumping between apps or losing track of important moments. Teachers can now easily add materials, students can actively participate and stay up to date, and parents remain informed and included. Teachers can tag posts with ATL skills or IB Learner Profile attributes, making it easier to filter, reflect, and track learners’ development over time. When everything lives in one place, teaching becomes more effective and learning more focused—and because it is available on mobile, this experience stays with you, wherever learning happens.

The All-in-One Space for Modern Classrooms

With Class Streams, you are able to share a wide range of content, including images, videos, documents, websites, and notes. Both teachers and students can contribute, supporting a collaborative learning experience. To make communication more personalised, teachers can tag individual students in a post to provide targeted support and feedback that only they can view. Class Stream posts from students are automatically added to their Portfolios, keeping their classwork seamlessly organised. Teachers can tag students and choose whether to add posts to their Portfolios. They can also highlight Approaches to Learning and IB Learner Profile directly on Class Stream posts, allowing skills and values to be reinforced in the context of real class work. With the new Standards Tagging feature, teachers can also connect students’ work on the Class Stream to the Units and Curriculum Standards they’re teaching, creating a clear link between Learning Outcomes and students’ evidence of learning. By tagging standards, teachers can showcase the skills and competencies students are demonstrating while grounding them in the curriculum. Tagging is available from any standards on ManageBac+, including IB, Pearson, Cambridge, and all Atlas Standards. Teachers can easily capture classroom moments directly within the app, whether it is a student presentation, a group activity, or a special classroom event. Importantly, all media is securely stored in the app and never saved to personal devices, giving schools and families confidence their data is protected. Parents now have real-time insight into activities that are happening in the classroom. They can like and comment on posts to celebrate the class' learning development. Class Streams have adjustable settings to align with the school's requirements such as turning off comments if the school prefers to communicate via other channels. The Class Streams provide a user-friendly and intuitive workflow. Each post is displayed in an accessible format and navigation between Class Stream and student Portfolios is seamless. Selecting a student’s profile picture or a post’s class label allows teachers to move back and forth quickly, improving visibility and saving their time.

Why Class Streams Make a Difference

Centralised Space ManageBac+ offers a unified environment where all classroom activities come together. Instead of juggling multiple tools, teachers, students, and parents can rely on a single, organised place to access resources, student work, updates, and communication. This streamlines classroom management, reduces gaps, and allows everyone to stay aligned with what’s happening. Connected Learning Education is a complex journey, and Class Streams are designed to support that. Adding context by linking posts to ATL skills and Learner Profile attributes can help students understand the purpose and relevance of their work. Standards Tagging can support teaching with clear evidence of achieved Learning Outcomes and a comprehensive view of standards coverage. As shared content is automatically added to Student Portfolios, it creates a clear link between day-to-day classroom activity and long-term development. All of these help teachers to highlight student growth and foster a more holistic view of the learning process. Personalised experience Every classroom is diverse, and each learner has different needs. Class Streams and Portfolios supports this by allowing educators to tailor visibility, content, and learning goals for individuals or groups. Whether through sharing specific resources, providing personalised feedback, or focusing on particular skills, Class Streams help teachers reach students in the most effective way. Class Streams create a more supportive and inclusive experience for all stakeholders.
