Use Solara from Class Companion assignment results

When you review assignment results in Class Companion, you can open Solara from the assignment results page to better understand what your students' results mean and decide what to do next. Instead of relying only on the AI summary, you can ask follow-up questions, explore performance patterns, and receive instructional recommendations—all without leaving the assignment results page.

Turn assignment insights into instructional action

Class Companion automatically generates an AI summary that highlights strengths and opportunities for growth across your class. These summaries help identify important trends, but they don't answer every question you might have about your students' performance.

Solara builds on those insights by giving you an AI assistant that already understands the assignment you're reviewing. Rather than switching to another tool and explaining the assignment yourself, you can immediately begin asking questions about student performance, identify patterns, and plan your next instructional steps.

Explore assignment results in more depth

When you start a conversation from an assignment's results page, Solara automatically receives the assignment results as context.

This includes information such as:

• The AI-generated assignment summary

• Class strengths and areas for improvement

• Student performance information available on the assignment results page

Because Solara already understands this context, you can begin asking meaningful questions immediately instead of manually providing background information.

If you continue the conversation later in the full Solara experience, your conversation history and assignment context remain available.

Questions you can ask Solara

Every classroom is different, so the questions you ask will depend on your instructional goals. For example, you might ask Solara to:

• Explain why students struggled with a particular skill.

• Identify patterns across the class.

• Compare the performance of different groups of students.

• Suggest instructional strategies based on the assignment results.

• Recommend students who may benefit from additional support.

• Highlight students who are ready for enrichment activities.

• Help plan a follow-up lesson based on common misconceptions.

• Suggest questions to ask during your next class discussion.

Using follow-up questions can help you move beyond identifying trends to planning meaningful instructional next steps.

Continue the conversation in full Solara

Conversations started from the assignment results page aren't limited to that page.

You can continue the same conversation later in the full Solara experience, where the assignment context and conversation history remain available. This allows you to revisit earlier discussions, continue planning instruction, or explore new questions as your students progress.
