Product update live since February 2026
Teachers often want to share activities with colleagues, co-teachers, department heads, or mentors, and sometimes they need those colleagues to see student work. Maybe you’re co-teaching and need your partner to review submissions, or you’re in a PLC and want to discuss real student responses. Until now, sharing an activity meant others could see the content, but not the student work. That’s changed.
When you share a Quiz, Chatbot, Assignment Grader, YouTube Quiz, or Reading Activity, you now have a new option: you can choose whether recipients see only the activity or the activity plus all student responses, chats, or submissions.
Two Ways to Share
Without Student Responses (same as before)
Recipients can view and use the activity, but student work stays private. Use this when you want others to see the content without access to submissions, messages, or responses.
With Student Responses (new!)
Recipients can see both the content and all student responses, messages, or submissions. Use this when collaborating with co-teachers, department heads, or colleagues during peer review or training.
How to Use It
Open any supported file (Quiz, Chatbot, Assignment Grader, YouTube Quiz, or Reading Activity) → Click Share → Choose the link that fits your situation → Copy and send.
Classroom Use Cases
Here are practical ways teachers are using this feature in their workflow.
Co-teaching and Lesson Continuity
Share a Quiz or Reading Activity together with responses so your co-teacher can review results and continue instruction in the next lesson.
This supports smoother handovers between teachers.
Department Moderation
Share an Assignment Grader file with submissions for moderation discussions. Colleagues can review student work directly within the original activity.
Reviewing Chatbot Interactions
When using Chatbot for language practice or guided revision, sharing student chats allows colleagues to:
- See how students are interacting
- Identify common misconceptions
- Refine prompts together
Sharing Templates Without Student Work
If you’ve designed a strong quiz or reading structure, use the content-only link to distribute the template while keeping student responses private.
Professional Reflection
Use real student responses during department sharing sessions or professional discussions. This keeps conversations grounded in actual classroom interaction rather than hypothetical examples.
What Changed
Before this update, sharing never included student work. Now you can choose to share content with or without student responses, so you can collaborate with your team when it makes sense.

FAQs
Which file types support this?
Quiz, Chatbot, Assignment Grader, YouTube Quiz, and Reading Activity. For other types, you’ll see the standard share link only.
Can I change my mind after sharing?
Yes. You can share a different link at any time. The previous link will still work until you revoke or change sharing settings, but you can always send a new link with the other option.
Is student work private by default?
Yes. The default share link is Without Student Responses. Recipients only see student work if you explicitly share the With Student Responses link.
Can recipients edit or delete student responses?
No. Recipients can view student work but cannot edit or delete it. Only the file owner has full control.
Do recipients need an Edcafe account?
It depends on the content type and how you share. In most cases, recipients can view shared content via the link. Check the share modal for any sign-in or account requirements.
Can I share with multiple people at once?
Yes. Copy the link and paste it into email, your LMS, or a messaging app. Anyone with the link can access it according to the option you chose (with or without student responses).
What if I shared the wrong link by mistake?
Send the correct link to the same people. If you shared With Student Responses when you meant Without, send the Without Student Responses link and ask recipients to use that one instead.
