Study Material App: Share notes. See who read.
Teachers share notes, PDFs, question papers and YouTube videos with a class from the Inkwelly app. Students are told, open everything inside the app — and you see who opened it, and who still hasn't.
What is a study material app for schools?
Every handout. In every pocket.
A study material app is where teachers share notes, worksheets, previous year papers and videos with their class — instead of WhatsApp groups and photocopies. In Inkwelly, students are told the moment it's shared and open it inside the app, and the teacher sees who opened it, how far they read, and who still hasn't.
Also called a notes-sharing app for schools, an online study material portal or an e-learning content library.

Why schools move study material off WhatsApp groups
Forwards. Photocopies. Guesswork. Or one post.
On WhatsApp, notes sink under a hundred messages and nobody knows who read them. In Inkwelly, one post reaches the class and every open is counted.
How most schools do it today
PDFs in WhatsApp groups. Photocopies. No idea who read them.
- Notes go out as forwards in the class WhatsApp group, lost under the chat
- Photocopies for 42 children — and more for the ones who lost theirs
- Video links are pasted in the group and gone in a week
- No way to tell who opened the notes and who didn't
- When a teacher leaves, the notes leave on their phone
With Inkwelly
One post per class. Read in the app. Every open counted.
- Notes, PDFs, photos and YouTube links in one post for the class
- Every student is told on the app the moment it's published
- PDFs, videos, Word and PowerPoint files open inside the app
- You see who opened it and how far they read — and remind the rest
- Published files are kept in the school's library
Share notes, PDFs and videos with a class from the teacher app
Share it once. The whole class has it.
Pick the class, add the PDF, a photo and a YouTube link, and publish. Every student is told on the app, and the post waits for them in Study Material, under the subject.
- 1Pick the class, add files and links
- 2Publish
- 3Students are told — it's in their app
Sample class. Students are told by app notification; WhatsApp, SMS and email can be switched on too.
Students open PDFs, YouTube videos and Word files inside the Inkwelly app
Every file opens right in the app.
PDFs, YouTube videos, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files and photos open inside the app — nothing else to install. And the teacher sees how far each child got.
A PDF counts pages: the furthest page reached. Close it, and it opens again at the same page. Reading to the end counts as finished.
See who opened the study material and remind the rest
See who read it. Nudge who didn't.
Who opened it, who finished, how long they spent and how far they read or watched. One tap reminds only those who haven't opened it — never twice in 12 hours.
- 1See who opened it
- 2Remind in one tap
- 3Only those who haven't opened it are told
Sample class. Reminders go as an app notification, and never twice to the same child within 12 hours.
One study material library for the whole school
Every subject. One library.
Coordinators and the principal see everything shared this session in one place — search it, filter by subject, type or status, and see what's still a draft or set to unlock later.
Sample school. What each person sees in the library depends on their role.
How study material reaches a class, step by step
From one tap to the test.
One post's week — from the teacher's phone to every student, and back to the six who hadn't opened it.

PYQ papers, Hindi notifications and view-only files for Indian schools
Made for Indian schools. And their exam season.
The papers, languages and habits Indian schools work with — already there.
PYQ and sample papers
Previous year papers and sample papers have their own types, so a Class 10 child finds them in one tap before the boards.
English and Hindi
Families get the notification in English or Hindi. Inkwelly itself works in both.
No message bill per handout
Material goes out as an app notification. WhatsApp, SMS and email are ready too, if your school wants them.
View only, for papers
Switch off downloads and students can read it in the app but can't save or share the file.
YouTube lessons, in the app
Paste a YouTube link from any channel. It plays inside the app, and you see how much each child watched.
Notes stay with the school
Published files move into the school's media library, so a teacher who leaves doesn't take the notes along.
Study material for subject teachers, coordinators, students and parents
One post. Everyone on the same page.
Each person sees what their role allows — nothing more.
Subject teacher
Shares notes, papers and videos from the app or the web, sees who opened them, and reminds the rest in one tap.
Coordinator & principal
The whole school's library in one place: search, filter by subject, type or status, and see how many opened each post.
Students
Their subjects' material in one feed, with a red dot on what's new. PDFs, videos and files open right in the app.
Parents
A notification when something new is shared — on the same app, in English or Hindi — so they can sit with their child and open it.
Ask Inkwelly AI about study material, in English or Hindi
Ask what was shared. And who read it.
Ask in English, Hindi or Hinglish. Inkwelly AI reads the library and the reading tracker — what each teacher shared, who opened it, one child's reading — and answers with names and numbers, or makes the Excel.
It answers. It also does the work.
- Act
Remind who hasn't opened it — after you approve.
It shows exactly who gets the reminder and who is skipped. Nothing is sent until you tap Approve.
- Reports
Excel or PDF, in seconds.
Ask for any list or summary and download it as a file.
- Cards
A child's reading, in the chat.
What they opened, what they finished and when — with a button to the full record.
- Letters
A revision notice, on your letterhead.
It drafts the letter with the real details. You check it, then it issues the PDF with a serial number.
- How-to
“How do I share an answer key after the test?”
Clear steps for any task, with a button to the right page.

Study material app: questions schools ask.
A study material app is where teachers share notes, worksheets, previous year papers and videos with their class — instead of WhatsApp groups and photocopies. In Inkwelly, students are told the moment it's shared and open it inside the app, and the teacher sees who opened it, how far they read, and who still hasn't.
From the Inkwelly app or the web. Pick the class, give it a title and a type — Notes, PYQ Paper, Worksheet, Sample Paper, Video, Reference or Other — add files and links, and publish. Or save it as a draft and publish later.
PDFs, photos, Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, audio and video files, YouTube videos and any web link. One post can hold several of them, so “Chapter 7: notes, a worksheet and a video” is one thing for students, not three.
Yes. When material is published, every student in the class gets an app notification, in English or Hindi. WhatsApp, SMS and email messages are written too, and your school can switch them on. A teacher can also publish without notifying.
Yes. Set Unlock on to a date and time. Students can't see it before then, and they're told once it unlocks.
Only if the teacher allows it. With Allow downloads off, students read it inside the app but can't save or share the file.
No. PDFs, videos, YouTube links, photos and Word, Excel and PowerPoint files open inside the Inkwelly app. A PDF opens again at the page they stopped on.
Yes. Who opened it shows how many of the class opened and finished it, and for each child: visits, time spent, how far they read a PDF or watched a video, and downloads.
Yes, in one tap from the teacher app, or by asking Inkwelly AI. Only students who haven't opened it get the reminder, and never more than once in 12 hours for the same post.
Students see only published material for the classes they're in. Teachers see their own classes' material, and the principal and coordinators see the whole school's library — each as their role allows.
Each post goes to one class — one teaching batch. Where a subject is taught to a whole grade as one batch, one post reaches every section of it; otherwise share it with each class.
Yes. Material belongs to the class, so co-teachers of that class can edit each other's posts.
When material is published, its files move into the school's media library, in a Study Material folder by subject and class. They stay with the school.
Yes. A post can be tagged to a chapter and topic of your lesson-plan syllabus — Inkwelly AI does it from one line — and it then shows on that chapter's page in the student app, next to its homework and tests.
No. Study material is something to read or watch. Homework has a due date and children hand it in. Both sit on each subject's page in the student app.
Not by itself. Material belongs to that session's classes, so a new session starts with an empty library and teachers share what they need again. The files themselves stay in the school's media library.
Yes. Inkwelly works in English and Hindi, and families get the notifications in English or Hindi.
Yes, on plans with Inkwelly AI. Ask “is hafte kitna material share hua?”, “who hasn't opened the Fractions notes?” or “Aarav ne kitna padha?” in English, Hindi or Hinglish. It answers with names and numbers, and publishes or sends reminders only after you approve.
Study Material is in the Standard plan and up, from ₹99 per student per year (GST extra). Plans run ₹49–₹199 per student per year, with ₹0 migration, training and setup.
