Do I have to use it before my students' evidence counts?

No. A student can add a piece of work in their own words and say you set it. It counts as their word until you confirm it. Nothing waits on you, and which institutions take part, and when, is not claimed yet.

Can I see how my students are doing?

As a whole, through your institution: an aggregate view built so no one student can be picked out. You can see an individual's record only under a permission that student granted you — for example, by choosing you as an adviser.

Does it grade or rank my students?

No. You grade work in your classroom as you always have. In the record, your mark is one piece of evidence with your name behind it. Nothing adds it up into a score of the person, and nothing compares one student with another.

Is it a library of teaching resources?

No. Zynaut Pathways is not a course catalogue and does not hold lesson material. What it holds is a student's evidence and what that evidence supports. Learning from anywhere counts — including what you teach.

For Teachers & Faculty

Inspire learners. Enable their potential.

You already see what your students can do. Zynaut Pathways lets you say so in a form that stays with them — as evidence they own, with your name behind it — and, when a student asks, to advise them with the reasoning shown.

Zynaut Pathways

A teacher is the person best placed to say what a student did. The record keeps that word with the student, and never turns it into a rank.

Your teaching, in the record

How a teacher takes part

Five things a teacher does anyway, each given a place in a record the student owns.

See the full lifecycle

1. Set the work
A project, an assignment, a practical. When a student adds it to their record, it keeps you as the person who set it.
2. Watch it happen
Performance you observed — a presentation, a lab, a rehearsal — counts as evidence, attested by you because you were there.
3. Confirm it
A student adds a piece of work in their own words. You confirm it, and it moves from their word to yours.
4. Advise, when asked
A student may choose you as an adviser. You see the gap they are working on and why — and your advice is kept in their record.
5. See the class as a whole
Through your institution, an aggregate view of where a cohort stands — built so no one student can be picked out.

Everything in one place

What you get, and what you never see

Six plain statements. Three are what the design gives you; three are what it refuses, on purpose.

A place for your adviceWhen a student chooses you as an adviser, the advice you gave is kept beside the gap it addressed.Learn more
Your cohort as an aggregateWhere a class stands as a whole, for programme review — never assembled from any one named student.Learn more
No individual drill-downYou cannot open a student's record outside a permission that student granted you.
No flagging, no rankingNothing sorts your students, singles one out, or compares them with each other.
No channel to parentsA guardian sees progress under a permission the student's record holds — never your notes, never the evidence.

Two roles, one boundary

Same students. Deeper understanding. Greater care.

In the classroom you teach and you mark. In the record you do two narrower things, and the boundary around each is published to you and to the student.

As an issuerWhat you attest is one entry with your name behind it. A certificate stays a certificate; your observation stays yours.
As an adviserBy the student's choice, under a permission they hold. You see the gap and the reasoning — never their raw evidence.
Never as a judge of the personYou grade the work in your classroom as you always have. The record never turns your mark into a grade of the person.
Never the ownerThe record is the student's, and it stays theirs when they leave your class, your school or your college.

Illustrative journeys

What a teacher actually does with it

Three journeys the design is built around, from the side of the classroom.

Illustrative journey
A physics teacher
Watches a student run a practical she did not expect him to manage, and records it: what he did, when, and that she saw it. It sits in his record as her word — one piece of evidence he can show to someone who was not there.
Illustrative journey
A faculty member chosen as an adviser
Sees that a final-year student's evidence supports most of what she is aiming at, and the one gap that does not — with the reasoning. He advises her on how to close it, and the advice sits in her record beside the gap.
Illustrative journey
A head of department
Reads where the year group stands against what the programme set out to build, as an aggregate. Nobody in the view is named, and the programme learns what it built.

Illustrative journeys, written to show what the design is for. Zynaut Pathways is in development and no customer story, testimonial or measured outcome is published yet.

Advice from a person

When a student asks you, you see the gap — and why.

Guidance in Zynaut Pathways comes from a person, not from the system. A student who chooses you as an adviser shares the gap they are working on and the reasoning behind the suggested next step. What you and they can each see is published to both of you before you start.

Assignment is by the student, under a permission they hold
You see the gap and the reasoning, never raw evidence
Your advice is kept in the student's own record
Introductions happen only when the student asks you to make them
You do not grade, certify, diagnose or rank anyone here

The system does not advise. A person does, with the reasoning shown.

Questions teachers ask

Straight answers for the classroom

All questions

Do I have to use it before my students' evidence counts?
No. A student can add a piece of work in their own words and say you set it. It counts as their word until you confirm it. Nothing waits on you, and which institutions take part, and when, is not claimed yet.
Can I see how my students are doing?
As a whole, through your institution: an aggregate view built so no one student can be picked out. You can see an individual's record only under a permission that student granted you — for example, by choosing you as an adviser.
