Getting Started for Teachers
Welcome to Habident — the AI-graded, spaced-repetition platform that helps your students remember what you teach. This guide walks you through the whole teacher loop: set up a class, build your questions, assign them, watch your class practice live, and review how a session went.
1Create a class
In the sidebar, click Classes— this is where your classes live — then click Create Class in the top right. You’ll set three values:
- Name— for example, “Biology Period 1”.
- Session time— the target number of minutes you want students practicing each day.
- Mastery threshold— the number of days a question has to survive between reviews before Habident counts it as mastered.
The defaults are a great starting point, and you can always change these values later. Click Create Class to save.
Every class gets a unique join code. Click the copy icon and share it with your students — that’s how they enroll. You can run up to ten active classes at once.
2Build your questions
Questions are organized by subject, so make a subject first: click Subjects in the sidebar, type a subject name, and click Add.
Now click Questions, then New Question and pick a question type. Habident supports eight: multiple choice, multiple select, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, matching, ordering, numeric, and the one that really sets us apart — Short Answer, which is graded by AI against a model answer you provide.
For a quick multiple choice question, choose your subject, optionally tag a unit like a chapter, then write the question text. Add your answer options and mark the correct one. Click Create Question, or use Create and Add Another to keep going without leaving the form.
3Generate questions with AI (optional)
Typing questions one by one is fine — but you can also let AI draft a whole batch. From the Question Bank, click Generate with AI, pick the subject these questions belong to, then describe what you want in plain English.
Habident streams back ready-to-use questions, one card at a time. Review each one — you can edit the text, unit, or time estimates right on the card, Discard anything you don’t want, and Save the keepers. Or, if you prefer, click Save All and they all drop into your question bank.
4Assign questions
Questions don’t reach students until you assign them. Click Assign in the sidebar.
- On the left, pick the questions. Filter by subject, type, or search — and use Select all on this page to grab a whole batch.
- On the right, choose which classes get them.
Most of the time you’ll leave the tier on Primary — that’s your main questions that all students must answer. Secondary and Tertiary are there when you want to layer in extra question sets for students who finish early or need an extra challenge; both are completely optional.
The bar at the bottom confirms what you’re about to do. Click Assign to Classes.
5Watch your class practice live
Once students start practicing, the Live Cockpit lets you watch the whole class in real time. Open a class, then click Live Cockpit.
Each row is a student. You’ll see how many questions remaining they have, the current question they’re working on right now, and their XP Today and Total XP. When a student finishes their session for the day, a green check appears under Done. Curious what someone’s stuck on? Click their current question to preview it.
6Review the session report
After class, the Session Report tells you how it actually went. Click Session Report in the sidebar, then pick a class and a date.
Up top, four numbers at a glance: how many Students Practiced, how many Questions Practiced, the Overall Success Rate, and how many questions students Struggled with.
The real gold is the Struggled Questions table — anything below sixty percent success with at least three attempts. The color-coded success rate shows you what to consider reteaching. Click a row to expand it and you’ll see exactly which students struggled and the common wrong answers — so you know what the misconception actually is before tomorrow.
That’s the loop
Build your questions, assign them, watch your class practice live, and review what to reteach — while Habident handles the spacing and grading. Our advice? Start with one class and six or eight questions, share the join code, and let it run.
Wondering how students join your class? That’s covered in the Getting Started for Students guide.
