Our verdict on ScanClass
ScanClass is a browser-based classroom polling and quiz system for teachers and educational institutions. Teachers create quizzes, print response cards containing ArUco markers, and scan student responses with a device camera. Students do not need individual devices or an app installation, making the workflow suited to classrooms that want live participation through physical cards. The free plan includes classroom polling, printable response cards, real-time results, and a quiz bank.
The main strength is the focused response workflow. Browser-based camera scanning turns marked cards into live polling results, while automatic scoring, statistics, and analytics support quiz review after responses are collected. Teachers can also use team mode, a Wheel of Fortune game mode, custom card generation with logos, and ready-made quiz materials. Excel export adds a practical way to take response data into another workflow. This makes ScanClass a good fit for educators who value quick in-class participation and structured results without distributing software to students.
The trade-off is preparation and scope. Teachers need to print cards, use cards with ArUco markers, and provide a camera-enabled device for scanning, so it suits planned classroom sessions better than spontaneous device-based polling. Its listed platform is the web, and its feature set centers on response cards, polling, quizzes, scoring, and related classroom activities rather than a broad integration ecosystem. Choose ScanClass if a free, camera-scanned card system matches the classroom routine; choose another student response tool if students need direct device participation or the workflow depends on wider platform connections.
