Classrooms
A classroom lets a teacher assign de:volt Learn modules to a group of students, watch them work in a live session, and mark their submissions. This page is for students joining a class; teachers should see Teaching.
Joining a class
Your teacher gives you a class code (for example ABC123). Go to
learn.devoltapp.com/classes/join, enter the code, and confirm. You can also
follow a join link your teacher shares, which fills the code in for you.
Joining a class puts you on your school’s education plan for as long as the licence runs. You do not need a personal Pro subscription, and you will never be shown a price.
If you see a “class not ready” message, the teacher has not finished setting up the class yet. Try again once they tell you it is open.
Your classes
The Classes page lists the classes you belong to. From there you can open a class to see its assigned modules, and you will see a Live now banner with a Join button whenever your teacher starts a live session.
Assignments
A class can set assignments: specific modules to complete by a due date.
- The Assignments page collects your upcoming and overdue work across all your classes.
- Opening an assignment loads it in the usual lesson canvas, with a live checklist that ticks off as you build.
- Press Turn in to submit. You can keep editing and re-submit until the due date, so turning in early does not lock you out.
After your teacher marks an assignment, its status updates (for example, Graded) on the class page.
See Assignments & Marking for the full student and teacher workflow.
Live sessions
When your teacher runs a live session, join it from the Live now banner. The teacher can move the class to a particular module and start or end the session; your lesson follows along. If your connection drops, de:volt shows a reconnect notice and restores the session when you are back online.
What classroom access includes
Your school holds either Education Standard or Education Plus; ask your teacher which. Both carry the whole of de:volt Learn and the full simulator on the same account, so a circuit you build in a lesson is a circuit you can keep working on.
Education Standard includes:
- Every official course, now and as new ones are added
- Lessons on the real simulator with live-checked objectives
- Lessons chain: a finished circuit starts the next lesson
- Lesson guide, multimeter, oscilloscope and a filtered parts palette
- Written hints on every objective
- Module Creator: teachers build their own lessons
- Validation, draft autosave and fixed published versions
- School-authored courses, private to the school
- Published teacher-authored lessons per school: 30 published lessons
- Assignments with auto-checked and manual rubrics
- Classes with a join code or join link; no student passwords
- Consent attestation before a join code goes live
- Roster tools and multiple teachers per class
- Assign and unassign lessons per class
- Seats used and licence expiry visible to teachers
- Class progress matrix and per-student objective view
- Submissions and a marking screen with the rubric
- One Assignments page per student, overdue and upcoming
- Teacher-led live sessions
- Student-safe accounts: no prices, no card forms, no upgrade prompts
- Data download and account deletion for every user
- Age gate; under-13s only through a class
- The full simulator: 104 parts, Arduino, micro:bit and Pico running real code
- Cloud projects per student: 25
- Parts per project: 250
- Oscilloscope channels: 8
- PDF and parts-list export, read-only share links
- Analysis workbench (logic, captures, operating point, sweeps)
- Runs in any modern browser on any computer or Chromebook
- AI tutor hints inside lessons, pooled per school: 80 hints per seat per month
- Google Workspace and Microsoft sign-in
- Restrict a join code to the school's email domain
- CSV roster import with automatic enrolment
Education Plus adds the Pro simulator tools, a larger AI allowance and extra teacher features — see Schools and classrooms for the side-by-side table.
The in-lesson AI tutor is included in both plans. Hints come from a school-wide pool rather than a personal quota: 80 hints per seat per month on Education Standard and 200 hints per seat per month on Education Plus, shared across the school so one keen student cannot spend the whole budget.
