Comet — in-class participation, attendance, polls, and auto-grading

Comet

The Future of Learning.

The Nameplate

The Intelligent Nameplate replaces the traditional paper name tent with a connected in-classroom device. Students sign in with a simple tap of their student card, while attendance, participation, polls, quizzes, and engagement are captured automatically. Professors spend less time managing logistics and more time teaching.

About

Comet began with a simple observation: the students who consistently prepare, participate, and engage aren't always recognized fairly, especially in larger classrooms.

We built Comet to make classroom engagement measurable, transparent, and effortless. By connecting attendance, participation, assessments, and classroom interaction into a single platform, Comet gives educators better insight while creating a more engaging experience for students.

This is the first step toward a more connected learning environment.
