Trelson goes beyond just digital exams. Over the years, we’ve focused on making things easier for both teachers and students, resulting in a versatile tool with user-friendly features. Below, we’ll walk you through the key features of Trelson.
With our seamless Google integration, getting started with Trelson is as straightforward as it gets. Say goodbye to complexities and hello to a hassle-free experience in managing your educational assessments.
Trelson seamlessly integrates with Google for Education, ensuring quick setup within minutes in your Google Workspace domain. Administrators can choose to install it for the entire domain or a specific organization. After installation, administrators create the initial organization (school) within the application, inviting staff members and assigning them roles—owners, administrators, or teachers—based on their required level of control.
Trelson simplifies user access by enabling effortless login through Google accounts. Say goodbye to managing additional usernames and passwords – our intuitive system ensures a seamless experience for administrators, teachers and students.
When teachers create assignments in Trelson, a ‘Trelson’ folder is created in Google Drive, organizing separate folders for each assignment with students’ submissions. Administrators can upon creation of exam templates, choose to store submissions on a shared drive for enhanced collaboration, simplified assessment management, and secure data handling.
Trelson ensures a secure learning environment on Chromebooks, iPads, Mac and Windows devices. During the assignment, the device is locked down to prevent cheating and distractions. Teachers can allow access any resources required, balancing security with educational flexibility and control.
When conducting exams, access to the web and applications is restricted unless explicitly allowed by the teacher. This prevents cheating and minimizes digital distractions across various platforms, including Chromebooks, Windows, Mac, and iPads. By maintaining control over students’ online activities, educators can confidently conduct exams.
Teachers can provide students with tailored resources during the assignment or session, such as calculators, Drive files, PDFs, extensions, media, Google Meet links, websites, YouTube videos—depending on the chosen security client. Teachers can even provide exclusive resources only accessible to specific students, accommodating individual student needs, enhancing inclusivity and supporting diverse learning requirements.
Trelson enables teachers to discreetly observe students’ progress during assignments without their knowledge. This feature ensures active monitoring, allowing teachers to intervene and assist students who may require help. Additionally, teachers have access to an event log, highlighting any student exits or submissions, providing comprehensive oversight for a smooth and secure assessment experience.
Trelson simplifies the process of creating and conducting digital exams and assignments. Teachers have complete control over the assignment’s design, concept, and environment. Tailor your assessments to your preferences effortlessly.
Trelson features a built-in word processor, enabling students to compose assignments directly within the application. Teachers can pre-enter content or provide a blank canvas, incorporating multiple documents as needed. The intuitive word processor offers formatting options, allowing students to customize text with styles like italic, underline, and bold. Additionally, a variety of fonts are available for a personalized writing experience.
With our math editor, both teachers and students can write mathematical expressions and formulas without using a calculator function. Students can draw by hand and have their drawing converted into a mathematical expression, or they can write the expression directly in the editor.
Trelson enables teachers to attach PDFs, slides, or documents from their Google Drive as resources within assignments. This feature streamlines the incorporation of external materials possible to access inside the locked down environment.
Teachers have the freedom to incorporate YouTube videos directly into assignments. This feature allows educators to select relevant videos that align with the assignment. Students are limited to the designated video, ensuring focused engagement and minimizing distractions. YouTube videos serve as a valuable educational resource, enriching assignments and classroom discussions with multimedia content.
Trelson includes a basic calculator for imple calculations, which you can enable for all students or selected ones. For more advanced calculations or older students, we’ve integrated Geogebra that can be added as a resource to an exam. With Geogebra, you get a geometry tool, an advanced calculator, and a graphing calculator.
For high-stakes exams, teachers can anonymize student submissions, concealing identities during grading. After evaluation, assignments can be easily un-anonymized, maintaining confidentiality and integrity throughout the assessment process.
Teachers can create a variety of question types, enhancing engagement and comprehension. Similar to Google Forms but with additional functionalities, teachers can add images or opt for text-only questions. Available question types include multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdowns, drag-and-drop matching, programming, image selection, sketching, gap-fill, and more. This feature fosters interactive assessments, allowing teachers to tailor questions to diverse learning styles and subjects.
If a Google Form has been used in Google Classroom before, teachers can seamlessly import it into Trelson and expand its content. Trelson offers additional question types, allowing teachers to diversify their assignments further. This feature not only preserves previous work but also enables its reuse and enhancement, promoting efficiency and continuity in assessment creation.
A PIN ensures students start the assignment, providing time for instructions. A mandatory PIN to resume prevents repeated entry and exit. Additionally, a submission PIN enables teacher confirmation before submission, enhancing communication and ensuring student accountability.
Empowering educators and administrators with streamlined tools for efficient organization and collaboration. Cultivating a shared culture that enhances teaching strategies, administrative processes, and overall educational excellence.
Administrators can create templates to standardize exams or assignments, ensuring uniformity in tests while simplifying the setup process for teachers. Ideal for high-stakes exams, templates offer special security settings. Administrators customize every template section and chooses what should be possible to modify by the teacher, allowing flexibility within a structured framework for creating assignments.
Trelson provides the option to store submissions on a shared Drive, a feature particularly useful for exams created from administrator templates. By centralizing submissions, this ensures streamlined access control and minimizes sharing complexities. Eliminate the hassle of personal Drive connections during high-stake exams, simplifying collaboration and submission management seamlessly.
Trelson allows teachers to set subjects and tags, simplifying organization by categorizing assignments based on subject or age group. This streamlines work, enabling easy retrieval, organization, and reuse of assignments, enhancing efficiency in teaching preparation.
Trelson allows teachers to collaborate with colleagues. Teachers can invite others to assignments, specifying their role—grading assistance, editing privileges, or even duplicating assignments for their own classes. This feature promotes a culture of sharing and collaboration among educators, enhancing teamwork and fostering a supportive learning community within schools.
Trelson offers automatic grading for assignments created with forms. Teachers input correct answers and assign points beforehand, allowing the teacher to choose to display immediate student score upon submission. Please note, certain question types like ‘Audio recording’ or ‘Sketch’ do not support automatic grading.
Teachers can highlight specific text or answers, providing written or oral feedback. They have control over the timing, deciding when the feedback becomes visible to the student. Additionally, the teacher can create a comment bank to streamline their feedback process, allowing to re-use standardized phrases for efficient, consistent responses, enhancing teacher productivity and student support.
