Teach live
with complete control
Classfolio puts you in command of the live lesson experience — from when students can respond, to how answers are revealed, to who gets called on next.
Delivery modes
Three ways to run a lesson
Choose the delivery style that suits the moment — and switch mid-lesson whenever the class needs it.
Interactive
Students respond independently to each activity. Responses arrive in real time and the teacher controls exactly when results are revealed. Works best for formative checks and question-driven lessons.
Teacher-led
You narrate and model while students watch on their own screens. Ideal for introducing new content, demonstrating worked examples, or running oracy activities.
Hybrid
Start in teacher-led mode for explanation and switch to interactive for checks and activities — all within a single lesson. Mirrors how the best lessons naturally flow.
Teacher controls
You control every
moment of the lesson
Most presentation tools let you show slides. Classfolio gives you a full live classroom command centre — managing responses, timing, student selection, and feedback reveal all from one screen.
- Open, close, and review activity responses at will
- Reveal correct answers step-by-step during review
- Lock responses so students can't change answers
- Show or hide results from students independently
- Cold call — randomly spotlight a student's response
- Countdown or stopwatch timer, configurable per slide
- Optional leaderboard with anonymised or named modes
- Mirror your teacher view to all student screens
- Display your model answer when ready
- Record class understanding checkpoints as you teach
Timer control
Countdown or stopwatch mode. Configurable duration per activity. Pause, resume, and reset. Optional audio cue when time expires.
Cold calling
Randomly select a student to share their response. Creates accountability without targeting — and gives quieter students a structured moment to contribute.
Leaderboard
Optional points-based leaderboard. Show top 5 or top 10. Anonymise if you prefer — students see rankings without names attached to scores.
Oracy phase navigation
Run Think, Pair, Share and Talk before you write with guided phase progression. Students move through each stage at the pace you set.
Interactive activity library
Beyond quizzes — a full
interactive toolkit
Alongside the core question types (multiple choice, short answer, extended response), Classfolio includes a library of interactive activities designed for deeper engagement.
Students find vocabulary terms hidden in a letter grid. Great for spelling and keyword recall.
Students complete a crossword using clues — ideal for definitions, key terms, and concepts.
Students sort items into the correct category by dragging. Instantly marked with visual feedback.
Students label parts of an image or diagram by dragging or typing into positioned hotspots.
Students sequence events or stages in chronological order. Marks placement accuracy automatically.
Students arrange steps in the correct order — for processes, algorithms, or cause-and-effect chains.
Students match each keyword to its correct definition from a list. Auto-marked on completion.

Students select or type the missing keyword to complete a sentence, equation, or definition.
