Looking to capture a picture of schoolwork to show the teacher or document some learning? Students can use the main Edsby app to capture evidence of their learning to share to their teacher.
Optionally, the separate Edsby Capture App, available via the App Store and Google Play, gives students a way to record evidence of their own learning, optimized for shared devices, if their teacher chooses to use it. Teachers need to supply students with a special QR code in order to use Edsby Capture.
If the teacher chooses to recommend it, Edsby Capture gives students the ability to easily capture photographs of their work and create evidence items within the Edsby platform. After a capture is uploaded, it is automatically added to the teacher’s Edsby evidence stream.
Capturing evidence through Edsby is made easy with Edsby Capture. With just a few taps of their smartphone or tablet, students can quickly add pieces of evidence regarding their own learning.

Using the App
Open the Edsby Capture App. Students will see a screen where they are asked to scan their QR code. Teachers will provide students with it.
Students can use the camera to scan their unique QR code.
Take a picture or video of the desired piece of evidence. Switch between photo and video or front and back cameras and set the flash settings using the icons. Students can also upload a photo or video from their device.
The app will then bring students to a new screen where they can review and add to their submission. Tap Add More to attach additional items to the submission. Type in the comment box to add a reflection of the work, this will be seen by the teacher. When finished, tap the upload arrow.
Once uploaded, students will be brought to the scan QR code screen where they can capture more evidence, if desired.
Once captured, the evidence will automatically flow into the teacher’s Evidence system. After the student has submitted a piece of evidence regarding their own work, teachers can review the evidence and choose to share it. Students can view Evidence that they have submitted immediately, but parents will only see this Evidence if the teacher has chosen to share it with them.
If the teacher has chosen to share the evidence, it will become visible in the student’s Learning Story to both the student and their parents, if not, only students will see it in their Learning Story. It is not shared back to the Edsby Capture app. Click here to learn more about Learning Stories.
