EdTech platform ClassHive offers admin work relief for teachers

Following asuccessful soft launch in April, Australian EduTech platform ClassHive has been officially made available to primary schools throughout Australia.

ClassHive offers a digital resource management tool designed to significantly reduce classroom administration work that teachers have to go through on a regular basis while ensuring that schools remain focused on hitting government targets.

“Admin related to using online resources is a key barrier to adopting digital tools,” Lesley Woodhouse, ClassHive CEO and Co-Founder, said. “While governments and industry are aware of the need to reduce teacher workload, products that address this problem have been notably absent. Having witnessed this issue first-hand through Wingaru Education, we recognised the need for a solution. This is why we created ClassHive.”

The product received strong feedback from the community during the soft launch, with teachers feeling the pressure of additional administration tasks. To date, over 10,000 fast and secure log-ins to the platform were recorded per school day. Teachers using the platform have also stated that on average, they experienced a 13 per cent reduction in classroom admin per month since using ClassHive.

“Teacher workloads are overwhelming, and any new tools need to focus on reducing net teacher workload, and ClassHive does just that,” Ben Grozier, CEO of ClassCover, said. “The potential time saved is huge. When you think about all the minutes and hours spent coordinating digital resources, it is worth investing in tools that give that time back. ClassHive is a massive time saver.”

ClassHive has been designed to contribute to the targeted 20 per cent reduction in time spent on low-value administrative tasks, as set by the NSW Minister for Education under the Quality Time Program. Over 1200 digital education resources can also be accessed via the platform.
