First Quarter Product Update: Turn Everyday School Activities Into Measurable Progress

If you’ve ever felt like your effort as a teacher goes unnoticed or your school struggles to keep both teachers and students consistently engaged…

This update was built for you.

We didn’t just add features.

We redesigned how your school experiences motivation, assessment, and daily productivity.

Here’s what is new:

Reward Point System, Make Effort Visible.

You show up every day, you mark attendance, create lessons, manage assignments.

Now, Shelf21 recognizes it.

With the new Reward Point System, every meaningful action, like marking attendance, publishing lesson plans, or creating assignments, earns points.

And it doesn’t stop with teachers, you can now extend this to students:

• Reward consistency
• Encourage participation
• Build healthy competition
• Track engagement over time

This isn’t just gamification.

It’s behavior shaping, done simply.

What this means for you:

1. Teachers stay consistent without external pressure, Students become more active and accountable

You finally see who is doing the work (and who isn’t)

Smarter Assessments, Less Work, More Control

Setting exams and managing questions can be exhausting.

So we fixed it.

We’ve completely refactored the assessment flow to give you flexibility, speed, and control.

Here’s what’s new:

1. Import Questions Your Way

You’re no longer stuck with one format.

Now you can import questions from:

• Different file formats
• External systems
• Existing databases

2. Built-in Question Bank

Store once, use forever.

Create a central pool of questions you can reuse anytime, no more starting from scratch.

3. Randomized Questions

Reduce exam malpractice without extra effort.

Each student can get a different variation of questions, automatically.
