Formative, founded in 2014, lets a teacher see student responses to an assignment in real time as students work through it, rather than only after collecting and reviewing completed work, spotting a misunderstanding spreading across a class while there's still time to address it during the same lesson.
That real-time visibility spans any assignment type, beyond video content alone the way Edpuzzle, also covered in this directory, specifically handles, quizzes, open-response questions, and drawing or diagram responses all feed back to the teacher's live dashboard as students complete them.
A free tier covers standard use, and paid plans start around $12 a month for more features and analytics. For a teacher who wants to catch and address misunderstandings during a lesson rather than discovering them only after grading completed work later, Formative's real-time visibility across any assignment type addresses that specific timing gap directly.
