FAQ
Using ALL In Learning With or Without AI
Can we use ALL In Learning without AI?
Yes. A growing number of schools, districts, and states are implementing policies that limit or prohibit AI use. We disable any AI tools restricted by the policies that apply to your school. For over 15 years, ALL In Learning has helped schools with student engagement, fast assessment data, daily progress monitoring, and optional computer-based assessment without AI. Teachers can use clickers, bubble sheets, existing materials, and manual rubric scoring, with results collected in shared reports.
What do the two website paths show?
The without-AI path focuses on tools for engagement, assessment, and progress monitoring without AI and with reduced student screen time. The All Tools path includes these capabilities plus optional AI-assisted tools (where permitted by your school’s AI policies). Choose the path that fits your school’s policies and instructional priorities.
How do we know which AI features we can use?
AI features are optional and available where permitted by the AI policies and requirements that apply to your school. Follow the applicable state, city, district, and school requirements for each intended use; policies may treat teacher planning, AI grading, and student-facing features differently. For example, in New York City Public Schools, AI grading and student-facing AI are not enabled, while Question Generator remains available for instructional planning (where permitted by your school’s AI policies). See the NYCPS Guidance on Artificial Intelligence and Screen Time.
Platform Overview
What is ALL In Learning?
Since 2011, ALL In Learning has helped schools engage every student, collect classroom responses quickly, save teachers time, and turn instructional activities into immediate data for feedback and progress monitoring—using flexible options such as clickers, paper and handwritten work, existing materials, ready-to-use content, and student devices. Optional AI-assisted tools also help teachers support students more efficiently and provide cognitively rich opportunities for practice (where permitted by your school’s AI policies).
Does ALL In Learning have to replace our existing assessment platform?
No. Schools often use ALL In Learning alongside existing assessment, curriculum, and data systems to address specific instructional needs and collect more frequent classroom data. It can support a focused workflow or connect multiple workflows across a school or district.
Can a school start with one specific use case?
Yes. Schools can begin with a focused need—such as curriculum-aligned exit tickets, writing practice, clickers, manual rubric scoring, or progress monitoring—and expand their use over time when it is helpful.
Can ALL In Learning be used across an entire school or district?
Yes. ALL In Learning can also support shared curriculum resources, common assessments, PLC reporting, standards monitoring, and leadership visibility across classrooms and campuses.
Daily Practice, Content, and Assessment
What kinds of student activities can teachers use with ALL In Learning?
Teachers can use ALL In Learning for exit tickets, checks for understanding, daily writing, revise-and-edit practice, phonics practice, social-emotional check-ins, quizzes, skills practice, classroom engagement, common assessments, and other formative or summative activities.
Does ALL In Learning include ready-to-use activities?
Yes. ALL In Learning includes standards-aligned writing activities, passages, short and extended responses, technology-enhanced questions, curriculum-aligned exit tickets, unit practice, and other resources for immediate use.
Can teachers use existing materials without rebuilding them in ALL In Learning?
Yes. Teachers can use existing quizzes, PDFs, worksheets, videos, presentations, and other materials with little or no conversion. They can enter a key for an existing assessment or use clickers and student devices spontaneously—even creating the answer key as the class progresses—without rebuilding the original material.
How does ALL In Learning help reduce teacher workload?
ALL In Learning is designed for teacher ease and reduces preparation, grading, and data-compilation work through ready-to-use activities, easy reuse of existing materials, reliable formative assessment and data collection with clickers, immediate progress monitoring, and automatically collated PLC reports.
Paper, Handwriting, Clickers, and Digital Responses
Can ALL In Learning grade handwritten student work?
Yes. Teachers can scan handwritten writing, math work, and other constructed responses using a laptop, document camera, or phone. ALL In Learning can provide AI-assisted rubric-based analysis, feedback, and suggested scores for teacher consideration (where permitted by your school’s AI policies).
AI-assisted analysis and grading are not enabled for New York City Public Schools, per district policy.
Can teachers score written work without AI?
Yes. Teachers can evaluate written work themselves and enter scores using rubric sliders. Those teacher-entered scores feed ALL In Learning’s reporting and progress monitoring without AI.
Can students participate without using screens?
Yes. Students can participate using printed materials, bubble sheets, classroom clickers, or handwritten work. Clicker responses and bubble sheets are scored against an answer key for fast results without AI. Teachers can score written work with rubric sliders and include those scores in progress reports.
How do ALL In Learning clickers work?
Clickers provide fast, eyes-up-front engagement, letting every student respond during instruction or assessments without logging into software or using a screen. Designed specifically for classroom response, they are durable and reliable, helping teachers avoid the missing, uncharged, damaged, or slow-to-connect devices that can interrupt instruction. Teachers can use them with prepared questions or spontaneously during lessons, discussions, videos, and existing materials.
How does bubble-sheet scanning work?
Teachers print plain-paper bubble sheets and scan completed responses using a document camera or phone. Each sheet’s QR code identifies the student—not a particular test—so the same laminated or sleeved set can be reused with dry-erase markers for anything from a short exit ticket to a longer assessment. Responses are scored against the teacher’s answer key without AI and added to ALL In Learning reports immediately.
How does ALL In Learning increase student engagement?
ALL In Learning gives every student frequent opportunities to respond through clickers, student devices, paper, handwriting, team activities, and other classroom workflows. Immediate feedback, game-like options, and real-time classroom charts help make participation visible and keep students involved.

How does ALL In Learning support PLCs and data teams?
PLC reports keep team meetings focused on data by automatically collating results across classes. Teams can readily identify common misconceptions, compare progress, group students, plan reteaching, and discover the most effective instructional practices.
What are STAAR Accountability Forecast Reports?
For Texas schools, ALL In Learning can use STAAR release data and assessment results collected throughout the year to forecast Accountability Domains 1, 2A, 2B, and 3, helping leaders identify concerns early, organize teams around improvement goals, and reduce surprises.
Responsible Technology, Student Privacy, and Teacher Control
How does ALL In Learning use technology while keeping students focused on learning?
ALL In Learning uses technology to support teaching—not to replace teachers, productive struggle, or time-tested learning methods like reading, writing by hand, solving problems on paper, participating in teacher-led instruction, revising work, and practicing important skills repeatedly.
Some ALL In Learning features use AI to analyze student work and suggest scores and constructive feedback (where permitted by your school’s AI policies), subject to teacher review, approval, and revision. The AI evaluates each submitted response in relation to the assigned question and its scoring guide or rubric. Students cannot prompt the AI or enter open-ended interactions or conversations with an AI chatbot.
AI grading and student-facing AI are not enabled for New York City Public Schools, per district policy.
How does ALL In Learning protect student privacy when using AI?
When AI is used to analyze student work (where permitted by your school’s AI policies), personally identifiable information is not sent to the AI service. Responses are processed using a secure encrypted identifier and matched back to the appropriate student record inside ALL In Learning. No student responses are retained by any third party or used to train any AI model. For complete information, see our Privacy and Security page.
How does ALL In Learning support student-data privacy requirements?
ALL In Learning is a signatory to the Student Privacy Pledge and works with schools to protect student information in accordance with FERPA, COPPA, and applicable student-privacy requirements. For details about data use, security practices, school and parent access, and data deletion, see our Privacy and Security page.

Optional AI-Assisted Features
AI features are optional and available where permitted by the AI policies and requirements that apply to your school.
What AI-assisted tools does ALL In Learning provide?
ALL In Learning uses AI within structured, teacher-directed workflows to assist with rubric-based analysis, score suggestions, and constructive feedback for typed and handwritten responses; guide write-and-revise practice; and generate standards-aligned questions and passages (where permitted by your school’s AI policies). Teachers can review, approve, or revise grading suggestions, and students do not enter open-ended AI conversations.
AI grading and student-facing AI are not enabled for New York City Public Schools, per district policy. Teacher-planning tools are addressed separately below.
How does the Question Generator work?
Question Generator uses AI to help teachers and curriculum teams quickly draft questions and passages based on a standard, subject, topic, or example (where permitted by your school’s AI policies). Teachers review and edit the generated material before using it, and completed questions work with ALL In Learning’s student-response, grading, feedback, and reporting tools.
Many districts distinguish student-facing AI and AI grading from teacher-planning tools. For example, AI grading and student-facing AI are not enabled for New York City Public Schools, while Question Generator remains available for instructional planning (where permitted by your school’s AI policies).
What control do teachers have over AI-generated questions, scores, and feedback?
Teachers review and edit AI-generated questions and passages before using them, and can review, approve, or revise AI-suggested scores and feedback (where permitted by your school’s AI policies). District administrators control changes to shared grading calibration. These tools support teacher judgment; students do not enter open-ended AI conversations.
Can districts calibrate AI-assisted grading?
Yes. District leaders can test AI-assisted grading and add scoring instructions to calibrate rubric-based analysis, scores, and feedback around district expectations (where permitted by your school’s AI policies). Teachers can test grading results, while district administrators control changes to the shared calibration.
This optional feature is not enabled for New York City Public Schools, per district policy.
What is AI Math Workshop?
AI Math Workshop gives students multiple opportunities to solve, review, and improve written or drawn STEM responses using fast AI-assisted feedback based on the problem and its scoring guide or rubric (where permitted by your school’s AI policies).
