A walkthrough
From “new assignment” to graded, in four steps.
Here’s the whole loop of running one class on Folio, exactly as your students will see it.
Create the assignment
Give it a title, a prompt, and a due date. Add your own rubric criteria if you grade by them. That’s the setup: no roster to build first, no course shell to configure.
New assignment
Argument essay: a claim you can defend
Share one link
Folio hands you a single join link. Drop it in your existing LMS, email it, or put it on the syllabus. Students open it, and they’re in. No accounts for you to provision.
Your assignment is live. Share this link:
Students submit with proof
Students write in Folio, citing real sources. When they submit, Folio mints an Integrity Certificate: the shape of the writing process, the sources actually cited, and any AI assistance disclosed, all from their own material.

Grade with the proof attached
Every submission arrives in a gradebook you can read at a glance, certificate attached. Grade against your rubric, leave feedback, and never defend a detector’s percentage again.
Teach the way you meant to.
Free for instructors, no permission required. Bring one class over this week and see the difference proof makes.
