uppa is a SaaS with the aim of facilitating the preparation, editing, management of assessments for different schools, in addition to an inclusive assessment environment and an area of pedagogical feedback focused on the student, teachers and coordinators to make assessments instruments for measuring learning and redefine the way the student deals with exams and tests.
Creating a business spinoff was an opportunity observed within the Eleva Educação group, the largest basic education holding in Brazil and the 3rd largest in the world. Group with more than xx brands and xxx schools in xx states of Brazil. In addition to brand management, the company has a publisher of teaching materials, a digital portal and socio-emotional education and maker culture programs.
As part of the business, the assessment department, in addition to creating simulations and assessments for its brands, sold simulations to partner schools, as a way of increasing the average tkt of this commodity. The group thought about investing in a SaaS as a form of recurring monetization. From partner schools.
We spoke to hundreds of stakeholders in more than 8 states in Brazil, in addition to testing our solutions to understand the relevance of each feature. As a result, we obtained a tool created to provide maximum support in the development of students and assist teachers and school coordinators of different average ticket sizes.

reated at the height of the pandemic, its main focus was accessibility, responsiveness and performance so that regardless of the family's economic situation, and internet signal, the same assessment could perform very well on different devices and screens.
We focused on creating a solution that would offer a more welcoming digital exam environment, helping with concentration and student focus, as well as proven to reduce anxiety and headaches after exams lasting many hours.
Adapting different devices widths and operating systems without losing any functionality.
3 contrast modes made it easier to read statements, making it easier to focus on tests with many questions
Many students with special needs needed special prints with very large typography, which was a source of embarrassment and bullying for the student. The digital tool eliminates the psychological and logistical problems of printing proofs.
With it it is possible to have a holistic view of the issues and through the colors you can identify how many issues still need review.
Possibility of hiding the time to mitigate stress triggers, at the same time it changes color when time is running out (yellow when 45% is missing and at 10% the timer turns red without the possibility of being hidden)
Student has an idea of the proportion of questions they still need to answer
Pedagogical feedback was designed to solve this. Students receive results as soon as all classes finish the assessment, so they can understand where they did well and where they need to improve and in assessments with the TRI correction model they need to know where to focus as their grade is based on the consistency of the difficulty level of the questions.
efore Luppa, simulations and tests took a long time to be corrected, taking weeks to have the answer sheet commented on, this made it difficult for the student to understand the points that needed improvement as in some cases they were already preparing for new assessments.
In Brazil, one of the main ways to enter college is through the ENEM national high school exam, which uses Item Response Theory as a correction method, in other words, the student needs to have coherent answers. If you get a lot of easy questions wrong and get a lot of averages right, your grade will be lower than a colleague who got the same number of grades right. Our tool analyzes which questions students need to review based on the difficulty of that question. This ensures greater consistency in your notes
In assessments corrected by the TRI statistical model, this feature helps you understand the number of people who marked each alternative in comparison to the alternative that was marked by you.
With this resource, students can understand which subjects they are mastering and which ones need to improve a little more. For university entrance exam students, what are the hottest questions that appear in the university entrance exams and national exams of your choice?
After a simulation, the student can see their position at school, state and understand whether their grade is close to the previous year's cutoff grade.
See the resolution recorded by our teachers or, if you prefer, read the commented answer sheet.
Suggestion of films, podcasts, or external videos on the topic presented so that the student can learn in several different media.
eacher have a usual problem: How to know which topics would need reinforcement per class?
Because of this, we prepared feedback with general performance data for the class, so they can review the percentage of error, in the case of students who are going to take the entrance exam, the teacher has a view of the class's preferences, so he knows that certain classes need reinforcement in certain topics.
Test correction ordered by the number of errors and difficulty of each question. In entrance exam classes, the app takes into account the course preferences of all students
App sorts the most important topics that need to be reviewed for each class
Overview allows teachers to understand each student's specific areas of study according to their course preferences, in addition to the general average for each area of knowledge.
Know the percentage of errors and correct answers for each question in addition to the pedagogical skills and abilities that that question works on
Overview allows teachers to understand each student's specific areas of study according to their course preferences, in addition to the general average for each area of knowledge.
ordinators can understand which classes are having difficulties and in which subjects.
This tool makes it possible to set up special classes for certain courses, or allow the coordinator to see which students he needs to talk to, both to congratulate the bests overal engagement and to encourage those who are having some difficulties.

reating an assessment is not easy, in many cases schools resort to specialized companies, only schools with a lot of cash are able to acquire a bank of new questions often investments that exceed $200.332,60
With this in mind, we created a tool that facilitates the creation of assessments and collaboration between teachers and schools.
In addition to the editor, the tool allows you to store and manage assessments in the cloud, eliminating duplication or the possibility of losing that test on a hard drive.
This significantly increases security as this collection is centralized and only those with permission can view the evaluation, in addition to the editing and evaluation history that allows a log of the latest modifications.
Create from zero or use our question repository to build entire exams with open source to illustrate or insert a equation on any mathematical smybols. the editor allow insert the correct answer, the commented answer key and other features saved in the cloud
See what you need improve seeing the impersonation student interface in any device
Allows coordinators to change dates, deadlines, create assessments or request teachers to create assessments for the classes they manage
Order the cards and label the subject for create a new questions order
With this feature the software can help fing similar tags to training the students with balance dificulty levels, themes and other classification
