As predicted, Apple VP of product marketing Susan Prescott also gave a brief nod to Apple's ClassKit framework that will allow app developers to create student evaluation features and let students take tests and quizzes online. The framework is also currently in beta for iPad.
Only time will tell if such an app can take on the powerhouses Blackboard, Canvas, and other software that students and teachers are used to using. But between the new app, the Everyone Can Code initiative, and cheap hardware, one thing's for sure: Apple has its eye on students.
