The Clone from option allows you to copy assignments from a previous course into your new course. This is not an option when creating your first course.

Posting assignments to Kuta Works requires access to one of our desktop programs. If you do not have one, you can download a free 14-day trial.

Older versions of our software do not have a Kuta Works option on the menu. Click Help > Check for updates to get the latest version.

After using your desktop program to design or choose an assignment, you can begin the posting process by clicking Kuta Works > Post assignment.

In the Post Assignment window, the Content tab gives you several options to tailor the assignment to your needs.

The student signup process performs two tasks:

  1. Creates a student account.
  2. Requests registration to a course.

In order to create an account, students and their parents or guardian must accept our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. They should take a few minutes to get to know these policies before accepting.

Students will create a student account on the Kuta Works student signup page.

In order to fill out the Course Key section, the student will need the key for a valid Kuta Works course. As the instructor, you will supply this code to your students. You can find the course key under the Registrations or Information tabs on your course page.

Once submitted, Kuta Works will send a confirmation email to the address provided during the registration process. After confirming the account, the student will see a pending registration message on the Kuta Works home page.

If a student is unable to receive outside emails, or the confirmation email does not arrive, you can email us at works@kutasoftware.com with the student's account email. Our team will help confirm the account.

In order to accept students into your course, you must have seats available in your account. You can purchase additional seats here.

When students request to join one of your courses, they are listed under the Roster tab for that course. Select the students to accept or reject.

Students do not need to download software to use Kuta Works. They can sign in from any web-connected computer, tablet, or phone using the student sign in page.

Active assignments posted to a course appear in the To Do tab of the course in the student app.

Assignments that have been completed or are past due are listed in the Results tab.

Note: Assignments that have a future start date are not displayed until that date. All assignments in Kuta Works are in a multiple-choice format.

Students can begin an assignment by clicking on it in the To Do list.

When the student submits the answer, the app provides instant feedback. The selected response, the correct choice, and the time spent on the question are recorded in our database.

Correct Feedback

Incorrect Feedback

If the instructor posts an assignment with the "Answers hidden until after due date" option, instant feedback is not provided.

You can review a student's results under the course's Results tab.

A small progress bar displays a student's progress in the student/assignment cell. Percent-correct values for assignments in progress are based on the total assignment with incomplete questions treated as incorrect.

Completed or past due assignments no longer display the progress bar. Percent-correct values are based on the total assignment with incomplete questions treated as incorrect.
