Make every student visible
Teachers already give every lesson their best. What no teacher can do alone is see inside forty minds at once. TedQu was built to close that gap, without changing how you teach.
Silence is mistaken for understanding
It has nothing to do with how well you teach, and everything to do with what you can see.
A typical classroom
With TedQu
A small gap, left unseen, becomes an exam result
We usually diagnose the gap after the damage is done. That is a classroom-design problem, not a teaching problem.
A few students miss it. Nobody can tell from the silence.
The next topic builds on the one they missed.
The student stops trying and opts out without a word.
The gap shows up when it is hardest to fix.
Learning isn’t memorising. It’s recalling.
Two well-studied findings shape how TedQu works in class.
When a student is asked a question, the brain has to retrieve the answer, and that act of recall is what makes it stick. A child listening in silence may look like they are learning, but nothing is retrieved, so it fades. So TedQu asks every student, every time.
Roediger & Karpicke (2006): students who practised recall remembered about 50% more a week later than those who only re-read.Attention drifts during long stretches of passive listening. A quick Pulse question roughly every 15 minutes brings the whole class back, and captures in seconds who has understood. Re-engagement and assessment in one five-second action.
Bunce, Flens & Neiles (2010): attention lapses grow during passive listening; short active breaks reset focus.Three habits behind the best-performing classrooms
Our question was simple: why can’t every classroom have this?
No one hides at the back. Every student engages, every time.
Data guides teaching every day, not just at the end of term.
The gap is fixed the moment it appears, not months later.
Great tools everywhere. No platform anywhere.
Fees, transport and assets are transaction systems for administrators, not for learning in the classroom.
Smart boards and licences that most schools cannot afford for every classroom.
Free apps pile up: a dozen logins, no single picture, and no time for a teacher with 40 students to choose.
Eye-to-eye time keeps shrinking, and no other solution measures the child in class without a gadget in every hand.

Quick answers about the problem TedQu solves.
What problem does TedQu solve?
+
In most classrooms only 5–6 students answer a question while the rest stay silent, so gaps stay hidden until the exam. TedQu lets every student answer every question with a printed Pulse Card, so teachers see who has understood on Day 1.
Why isn’t “Does everyone understand?” enough?
+
Students who are unsure or shy rarely say so in front of the class. Silence looks like understanding, which is why gaps are usually found weeks later at a test.
What is retrieval practice?
+
It is the finding that recalling an answer strengthens memory far more than re-reading. Roediger and Karpicke (2006) found that students who practised recall remembered about 50% more a week later.
Do students need phones or tablets?
+
No. Students hold up printed Pulse Cards and only the teacher uses a phone. There are no gadgets in students’ hands in school.
How often do teachers ask Pulse questions?
+
A quick question roughly every 15 minutes works well. It brings attention back and shows, in seconds, who has understood.
How is TedQu different from an ERP or an LMS?
+
ERPs run the school office and LMS platforms are costly to roll out to every class. TedQu is one academic platform for the whole school: classroom participation, assessment, planning, communication and the school office, with no student devices.
