A live picture of the room
Teacher insight views turn quizzes, polls, and open responses into a picture of who is with you. You can adjust explanation or grouping before the lesson ends.
Create → Engage → Validate → Improve
See who understands — during the lesson
Validate is the third step of the Sendsteps Learning Loop Platform for education. Student answers become real-time evidence of understanding, so you can see who is keeping up and who needs help while you can still do something about it, not after the test.
The Learning Loop
One step in a loop that keeps teaching moving
Validate, don’t guess
From answers to evidence of understanding
Guessing from faces in the room leaves quieter students invisible. Validate makes participation readable.
Spot who needs help now
Outliers and gaps show up while there is still time to reteach a concept, pair students, or slow down, instead of discovering it on the exam.
Every student is visible
Equal voice only matters if you can see the quieter responses too. Validate treats those answers as evidence, not as noise in the chat.
Evidence the next lesson can use
What you see here is what Improve works from. Validation is not a report for its own sake. It is how the loop knows what to recommend next.
During the lesson, not after the test
Act while it still helps
Sendsteps helps you see understanding in the moment. It does not claim to replace your judgement, your exam, or your LMS. You decide what the signals mean and what to do next.
When a pattern repeats (the same misconception, the same quiet group), that is the input for Improve.
Questions teachers ask
Good to know
Is Validate a test or an exam?
No. Validate is about seeing understanding during teaching: formative signals from the questions you already run in Engage, not a separate high-stakes exam.
Do I have to watch a dashboard while I teach?
You get a live picture of responses so you can notice gaps in the moment. How closely you watch it is up to you. The point is that the evidence is there when you need it.
Does this replace my grading in the LMS?
No. Sendsteps does not replace your LMS. Validate helps you see learning during the lesson. Grades and course records stay where your institution already keeps them.
Every lesson improves the next
See understanding while you can still act. Then improve what comes next.
