Don't just show a video.
Build a lesson around it.
SmartClassrooms is an interactive lesson builder built into TV4Education. Clip TV4Education content to the exact moment you need. Strip all ads from YouTube videos — legally. Add comprehension questions, auto-mark results, monitor live engagement, and print worksheets — all in one place.
Use the five minutes that matter, not the whole forty.
Clip any TV4Education video or YouTube video to the precise segment your lesson needs — down to the second. No more fast-forwarding in front of the class. Students see exactly what you've prepared, nothing more.
Use YouTube in the classroom —
without the risk.
There's incredible educational content on YouTube. The problem isn't the content — it's what comes before it, after it, and next to it.
- ✕Pre-roll ads — often 30 seconds before the video starts
- ✕Mid-roll ads interrupt your lesson mid-sentence
- ✕Autoplay queues up unrelated videos after yours
- ✕Comment section visible to all students
- ✕Copyright risk — no school-licensing framework
- ✓Zero ads — pre-roll, mid-roll, or otherwise
- ✓No autoplay — students see only what you assigned
- ✓Comments, suggestions and social features hidden
- ✓100% copyright-compliant via Screenrights framework
- ✓Clipped to exactly the segment you need
Legally compliant. No workarounds.
SmartClassrooms operates within Australian schools' copyright framework — not around it. No VPNs, no grey-area tools, no risk for your school.
Build the check. The system marks it.
Add comprehension questions directly to any lesson. Students answer after viewing. Results are auto-marked and waiting for you — no marking pile, no manual collation.
Multiple Choice
Set up to 6 answer options. Students select one. Auto-marked immediately on submission. Results visible to you in real time.
True / False
Quick comprehension checks that keep students on their toes. Fast to build, fast to answer, instantly marked.
Short Answer
Open-ended questions for deeper thinking. Students type a response. Teacher reviews — or use as a printed worksheet prompt.
See who's on your lesson — and who isn't.
SmartClassrooms shows you a live attendance view for every lesson. You can see in real time which students are actively on the lesson and which students have gone elsewhere — double-screening, another tab, or simply ignoring the activity.
Everything you need to build a lesson. Nothing you don't.
Each element slots into the lesson builder in any order. Mix video clips, text, resources, and questions to build something that works for your class.
TV4Education and SmartSuite users both have access.
SmartClassrooms is delivered through the SmartSuite platform — so if your school has TV4Education or SmartSuite Library, you already have access. Library users can add books from their collection as lesson resources. TV4Ed users can use the full video lesson builder.
Every FSI school can nominate a student for a scholarship.
We've awarded tens of thousands of dollars to students across Australia — for uniforms, textbooks, technology, camps, library hardware, and more. When your school is an FSI subscriber, your librarians and educators can nominate the students who need it most.
