Instead of creating assignments week by week, Seneca lets you schedule a complete sequence of homework in one simple flow, all automatically dated and ready for students.

🎯 Available to Seneca Premium schools, this is one of the fastest ways to remove repetitive admin and ensure consistent homework across the year. If you don't have Seneca Premium yet, click below and a member of the team will reach out to you about this.

What Does It Do?

Schemes of Learning automatically creates a structured homework schedule based on your course content.

Seneca will:

  • Generate weekly draft assignments

  • Apply correct start and due dates automatically

  • Create multi class assignments if multiple classes are selected

  • Produce Seneca assignments (fully editable afterwards)

You stay in control, Seneca just removes the repetitive setup work.

    Click 'Create' and then 'Scheme of Learning'.

  2. Choose your classes and course
    Select the class (or multiple classes) and the course you want to set homework for.

  3. Review the generated schedule
    Seneca creates draft assignments for each week until the end of the academic year.
