Choose Kami if your school uses it
If your teacher assigns worksheets through Google Classroom or Canvas and collects them there, and the school pays for Kami, it is probably the path of least resistance. Assignment and hand-in inside your school’s system is something Pappper does not do, and teachers get tools for building and collecting work that are outside what Pappper is for.
Choose Pappper if you are on your own
Pappper fits when nobody has chosen a tool for you: the teacher sends a PDF and it is up to you what happens next. It does not need the school to adopt it, and it is built around the moment you are stuck, with an AI you can point at the exercise and subject tools that land on the page.
You can export the finished PDF and upload it wherever your school wants it.
Questions,
answered
Can I use Pappper if my school uses Kami?
Yes, if your teacher accepts a PDF. Export it from Pappper and hand it in as usual. If they collect work through Kami itself, use Kami for that assignment.
