Folio Classroom · Free for instructors
Stop guessing who wrote it.
AI detectors flag honest students and miss dishonest ones. Folio Classroom replaces the guessing game: every submission arrives with a verifiable record of how it was actually written — the process, the citations, the AI use.
Start freeOne assignment link
Create an assignment, drop the link in your syllabus or LMS. Students join with a free account, write in Folio, and submit — no setup calls, no IT ticket.
Certificates, not detectors
Submitting publishes each student’s Integrity Certificate: a cryptographically linked revision history, a writing-process signal, verified citations, and disclosed AI assists. Positive evidence — not a probability score that fails the honest ones.
A roster that reads itself
Words, verified citations, AI actions, and the writing-process band for every submission — plus who joined but hasn’t submitted, and late flags against your due date. Each row links to the public verify page.
Share your rubric
Attach one of Folio’s Reviewer rubrics and students see the exact dimensions you grade on — and can run a rubric-based self-review before they submit.
How it works
Create the assignment
Title, instructions, due date, optional rubric. You get one shareable link — that’s the whole setup.
Students write in Folio
As they draft, Folio quietly records the process: revisions, sessions, sources, citations, and every AI assist.
Submissions verify themselves
Each submission mints the student’s Integrity Certificate. Your roster shows the verified record; anyone can check any certificate at its public link.
What the roster shows per submission
Questions, answered
Is it really free?
Yes. Creating assignments and collecting verified submissions is free, and students submit on free accounts. Folio makes money on optional research power tools, not on grading integrity.
Do students have to write inside Folio?
The certificate attests the writing that happens in Folio — that’s what makes it evidence. Students can import existing work (DOCX and more), but the strongest process record comes from drafting in Folio.
Is this an AI detector?
No — it’s the opposite. Detectors guess from the final text and get it wrong in both directions. Folio records how the document actually came together and shows you the evidence. Only a “single burst” history is a red flag; honest work shows its process.
What about student privacy?
Joining an assignment shares the student’s name and email with you — and the page tells them so before they join. The certificate shows process facts (counts, timeline shape), never the document text itself.
I already collected work elsewhere — can I still verify it?
Yes. If students published certificates, paste any batch of certificate codes at usefolio.co/check.
