StarSpark Launches New Sharing Feature to Help Students and Parents Learn Together

New student- and parent-facing feature lets users share assignments with friends, classmates and families, expanding StarSpark’s collaborative learning experience

PLEASANTON, Calif. – June 23, 2026 – StarSpark, an AI-powered learning platform for students, parents and educators, today announced the launch of its new sharing feature, allowing students to send StarSpark assignments directly to other users and non-users from inside the platform.

The new feature gives students a simple way to study with friends and classmates, while helping parents share useful learning materials with other families. Students can share weekly assignments generated through their enrolled subjects or lesson plans, as well as assignments they create themselves for studying, quiz preparation or practice.

“Sharing came directly from our students asking for it,” said Ashish Bansal, CEO and co-founder of StarSpark. “Learning is more effective when other people are in it with you. We made that easy and we reward students every time they do it.”

For students, the feature is built around how studying actually happens. A student enrolled in a subject or lesson plan can share the weekly assignments StarSpark creates for them to compare answers with a classmate, study with a friend or bring someone else into the material. If they are preparing for a test, they can also generate a new assignment from a subject, learning plan or uploaded notes, then send it by email to friends who are working on the same topic.

Coming soon, parents will also be able to access a sharing tool. Once they create an assignment for their child, they can send it directly to another parent rather than starting over or explaining how to recreate it. For homeschooling families and parent communities, that can make a real difference. Good grade-level practice takes time to find and build, and when one family finds something that works, StarSpark now makes it easy to pass it along.

Recipients who are not yet on StarSpark can preview a shared assignment before being prompted to create an account to continue the assignment and receive a grade. Parents and self-serve students who sign up receive a 14-day free trial.

The launch also introduces a rewards component for students. Students earn 50 SparkPoints for every email recipient they share an assignment with and can be redeemed for real-world rewards, such as gift cards.

The sharing feature reflects StarSpark’s broader belief that learning should be active, social and personalized. When students talk through problems with someone else, compare approaches or explain their thinking, the assignment becomes more than a task to complete; it becomes a way to build understanding.

The launch comes as StarSpark prepares to roll out a broader adaptive learning experience designed to better connect assessment, instruction and remediation. The upcoming system will use diagnostic-driven learning plans to identify where students are struggling and personalize weekly practice around those gaps. When a student needs more support, StarSpark will be able to step in with guided instruction instead of leaving them to guess again and move on.

Most adaptive learning tools still depend on students to recognize when they are stuck and ask for help. StarSpark is taking a different approach. When a student gets the same question wrong multiple times, the platform will be able to open a guided support experience that teaches the underlying concept and walks the student through related practice.

“We are leaving a lot of value on the table when assessment, gap identification and remediation don’t talk to each other,” Bansal said. “That’s what we’re fixing. StarSpark closes that loop automatically.” 

For educators, StarSpark’s upcoming diagnostics and reporting tools will surface topic-level performance across a class, including question-level accuracy, common misconceptions and individual student progress over time. When students score below a set threshold, the platform will be able to automatically generate follow-up remediation assignments tied to the specific standards or concepts they missed.

StarSpark’s goal is not to give students more assignments for the sake of more practice. It is to make the time students spend learning more effective by identifying what they need, supporting them when they struggle, and helping parents, peers, and educators stay connected to the learning process.

StarSpark’s new sharing feature is live now. Sign up today to start creating assignments, studying with others and earning SparkPoints as you share. Enjoy a free trial to get started!
