SAFE
Vision for a Smart Classroom for future
With SAFE, conducting objective exams is paper-free and cheating-free.
It eliminates the tedious process of manual evaluation and eases the conduct of surveys or polls.
SAFE allows students to mark attendance and take quiz in classroom using their own smartphones.
With SAFE you get an amazing feature of quick, proxy-free attendance marking.
You can conduct short quizzes, as easy as asking a verbal question in class. These help in instant feedback to the student as well as teacher.
Student answers subjective question on paper, scans and uploads. Teacher or teaching assistants can manage all correction online: no manual touching of student’s paper during correction. SAFE supports answer rubrics: reuse feedback from previous student’s answered corrections.
Get rid of the hassle of printing and manual evaluation. With SAFE, conducting objective exams is paper-free and cheating-free.
Are your students mentally present? Have they grasped what you just taught? With a short SAFE-quiz in the class, get instant feedback; you don’t need sophisticated hardware clicker devices!
The teacher can require students to keep their phones in “classroom mode” of the SAFE app, during which the phone can be used only for SAFE attendance or quiz but not for other apps.
SAFE eases the conduct of surveys or polls,with configurable anonymity for those answering.

"I use SAFE in place of attendance to check the mental, rather than the physical presence of students in my class. Regular in-class SAFE quizzes has increased the alertness of students in my classes. I find SAFE quizzes particularly useful for large classes. The instant distribution of marks per question helps me get topic-wise timely feedback on my teaching.”

“We used SAFE for class of about 140+ students. We used it for attendance as well as weekly quizzes. SAFE app worked quite reliably. We haven't had any major hiccups except for the very first attempt when we were figuring out the mechanics. SAFE methodology is very efficient as I could conduct quiz for 140+ students in exactly 10 minutes and get started with lecture. Having quizzes every week forced all the students to review the lecture material regularly. Thank you for SAFE.”

“SAFE saved my life in Fall 2019. I had a graduate elective with an unexpectedly large class of 60+, and TA support was inadequate. The support from the SAFE team was absolutely stellar. No question about SAFE was too silly or annoying, I got responses in less than an hour any time of the day! The app, network and database back end parts seem solid. Better LaTeX and math support would make it perfect.”

“I found SAFE to be a very robust yet convenient tool for short and regular quizzes. Interface to create questions through csv upload and automatic mark calculation are great time savers.”

“We successfully conducted weekly SAFE quizzes for EE-340, a core course for all EE undergraduates. Quizzes were taken weekly by 130+ students and it proved very effective in comparison to regular paper quizzes.”
Research Assistant, Dept of EE, IIT Bombay
“SAFE is a good tool for taking attendance in class and conducting QUIZ so that our class is more interactive and in blended mode. I have used the tool and find it effective for quiz conduction. The configuration is quite simple and students have also enjoyed it. The students strength was approx 55-58 in every batch while conduction and it was smooth.”
