1 · Set & check
Generate and self-check an assessment.
Provide grade, subject, topic, term and assessment type. Draft the paper and memo, then check clarity, coverage, markability, totals, difficulty and obvious fairness risks.
South Africa · CAPS-first teacher tools
Free CAPS assessment generator, marking and moderation tools.
Set an assessment, build the memo, quality-check the paper, mark against stated criteria, moderate scripts, analyse class results and decide what to reteach next — in one connected Modern Schoolhouse workflow.
One assessment workflow
From setting the paper to the reteach plan.
Instead of using separate generic AI prompts, Modern Schoolhouse keeps the assessment, memo, marking, moderation and class-analysis stages connected.
2 · Mark & moderate
Apply criteria consistently.
Use FairMark or Batch FairMark with the supplied memo or rubric, keep evidence attached to suggested marks and flag answers that need a human judgement.
3 · Analyse & reteach
Turn class results into next steps.
Analyse item performance, identify likely weak areas or questionable items, then build a targeted reteach pack and evidence-based report comments.
For South African teachers
CAPS-first does not mean “invent a universal CAPS rule”.
Assessment requirements and cognitive-demand guidance vary by phase, subject and assessment type. The tool uses the context you provide and is designed to flag uncertainty rather than inventing exact policy rules where the applicable official source should be checked.

Clear professional boundary
This is an independent Modern Schoolhouse tool. It is not produced, certified or endorsed by the Department of Basic Education or Umalusi. It supports teacher and HOD judgement; it does not replace professional moderation, school sign-off or the educator’s final marking decision.
School & HOD use
Use the same working system for department moderation.
School Moderation is already live. Upload the assessment, memo or rubric and sample marked scripts to produce an HOD-ready quality report with assessment, memo and marking-consistency findings.
Privacy & learner data
Use the minimum learner information needed.
Remove learner names, ID numbers, school numbers and other unnecessary identifiers before uploading work. The assessment tools do not create saved learner profiles, but submitted text, extracted PDF content and images may be processed by the configured AI service to produce the requested result.
Frequently asked questions
What teachers usually need to know first.
Is this free?
Yes. The current teacher and School Moderation tools can be used without a login. Teachers and HODs remain responsible for final professional decisions and sign-off.
Can it mark fairly?
It can apply the same stated criteria consistently, show evidence for a suggested mark and flag uncertainty. No AI system should be described as perfectly unbiased; the teacher remains the final decision-maker.
Can I upload a PDF?
Yes. The current tool can read text-based PDFs and can fall back to page images when a PDF appears to be scanned.
Can I use it for moderation?
Yes. You can review an assessment and memo before use, moderate already-marked work, or prepare an HOD-ready moderation report from sample scripts.
