The problem it solves

Formatting an assignment cover page by hand, lining up the course name, enrollment number, and subject every time, is tedious and easy to get wrong. Repeating this for every assignment wastes time you could spend on the actual work. You just want a clean, correct cover page without opening a design tool.

Who it fits

Students, colleges, or institutions that require a standardized cover page for every assignment submission.

How it works

  1. A student fills out a short form with their course and assignment details
  2. The system checks that all required fields are filled in
  3. A cover page template is filled in automatically with the submitted details
  4. The finished page is converted into a PDF
  5. The PDF is emailed directly to the student
What you get

Cover pages formatted without your involvement

Every submission turns into a perfectly formatted cover page that lands in the student's inbox, no formatting work on your end.

What you get

A submission-ready PDF cover page, emailed automatically.

What you need

A Google Workspace account with Google Docs, Google Drive, and Gmail.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
