## What is SpacesEDU?

SpacesEDU makes it easy for teachers and students to capture, communicate, and celebrate the growth that’s happening in and out of the classroom. Based on feedback from 15+ years of educator insight, SpacesEDU Portfolio-Based Assessment (PBA) tools allow teachers to assign activities, collect evidence of learning in multiple formats, assess student mastery of standards and competencies, and create visual report cards.

With SpacesEDU, student assessment progress becomes a two-way conversation. Students can ask questions, receive teacher feedback, peer review, and share work in an authentic and flexible way - all without leaving the SpacesEDU app.

Provide real-time feedback on student work through commenting and messaging without leaving the app.

Bring SpacesEDU into your classroom today and give your students their own space to learn, grow, and tell the stories behind their grades.

### 1/5 — Kys

*2026-08-22, version 59.1.0*

This app makes Hitler look like Santa clause

### 1/5 — HELL NAH

*2026-07-26, version 59.0.0*

This app stole my child and took them to the ISS to meet diddy and hasnt come back because he didnt learn the human body fast enough so they said "If he cant learn the human body he can feel it inside of him" this was 5 years ago

### 4/5 — SpacesEDU isn’t that bad. Forcing it on students is, though this isn’t the developers’ fault.

*2026-07-23, version 59.0.0*

SpacesEDU. The bane of many students’ existences. 
To be honest? It’s mediocre. It’s not a very bad app, though the interface can be unintuitive and the prospect of being forced to complete assignments *and then* fill in reflections every single time (Every. Single. Time.) is enough to give any sane student a migraine. It’s not Spaces’ fault though, and I personally think usage of this app is less forced nowadays. I’ll even grudgingly admit that little baby Spaces has improved over the many years of lewd conduct with minors users have faithfully recorded. 
However, it’s still (gasp!) laggy and dare I say slow. I always wait a long time to use it, and at one point danced around in midair like a fool. (Bibbidy-bobbidy-boo) It’s sad because it was my last dance, on a Friday night no less. I think Spaces has crashed a few times too, though I can’t remember if it actually happened. It’s been a while since I used the app! (i only use the website-) Sorry if my review sucks! The app is — again — not very bad.
