Ödev Atölyesi (Homework Workshop)

Free worksheets and camera-scored tests, generated for every primary class in Türkiye

Teachers in under-resourced Turkish schools rely on costly workbooks and spend hours marking. Ödev Atölyesi is a free, ad-free, no-sign-up engine that generates print-ready worksheets and tests for every grade 1–4 subject and week, gives each student a different copy, puts the answer key in a QR code and scores tests from a phone photo. Built by a primary teacher in Şanlıurfa.

Target group
I hope to see a primary school where a child's learning does not depend on what the family can afford. Every child, in a village school in south-eastern Türkiye as much as in a private school in Istanbul, should get practice that matches this week's lesson, at their own level, with quick feedback, and every teacher should get back the hours now spent photocopying and marking. In the long term I want Ödev Atölyesi to become a shared public resource for Turkish primary education: open to all teachers, kept up to date with each new curriculum, and improved by their feedback. Next steps are measuring learning gains in classrooms, adding grades beyond 4, making the interface accessible to Kurdish-, Zazaca- and Arabic-speaking families, and sharing the approach, especially language-aware generation and low-cost camera scoring, with teachers in other countries who face the same lack of resources.

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

I teach a second-grade class in Viranşehir, a district of Şanlıurfa in south-eastern Türkiye. I grew up speaking Zazaca at home and learned Turkish at school, and many of my students' families cannot buy the commercial workbooks that children in wealthier schools use every week. Teachers in schools like mine spend evenings photocopying the same few worksheets, marking them by hand and searching the internet for material that matches the national curriculum week by week.

I wanted every teacher and parent to have, for free, what a good publisher's workbook offers: questions matched to this week's learning objectives, at the right level for each child, with an answer key and quick feedback. Ready-made PDFs could not do this, because every class is different and children copy from each other. So I built an engine that writes new, curriculum-aligned worksheets on demand, gives each child a different copy, and lets the teacher score multiple-choice tests with a phone camera instead of an expensive optical reader.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

A teacher opens eminalagoz.com/odev, chooses the grade and the week, and sees every topic of that week across all subjects. The teacher picks a topic, a level (easy, medium or hard), the number of questions and 1–4 pages, and a fresh print-ready worksheet appears in seconds. One click creates a different but equally difficult copy for every student, with names printed on top.

Every sheet carries a QR code that opens its own answer key, so parents can check homework at home. Multiple-choice test pages are designed to be read by a phone: the teacher photographs the sheets, and the system finds the QR code, corrects perspective and shadows, reads the marked bubbles and student numbers, and gives a score list.

Around the worksheets there is a whole week of support: weekly board-ready notes for each subject, an explanation of each week's objectives, Turkish-voiced whiteboard games that run on the low-spec Pardus boards in state schools, display sets for national days, and a classroom management app with a class library and reading campaigns. Everything is free, ad-free, needs no account and prints well in black and white.

How has it been spreading?

Mostly teacher to teacher. I share new material on my Instagram account @eminhoca (about 4,000 followers), teachers pass it on in their WhatsApp groups, and search engines bring the rest.

Figures from the platform's own server logs (approximate unique visitors by hashed IP):
- Last 30 days: about 102,000 page views from about 30,000 unique visitors.
- Growth: 379 unique visitors in September 2026, 8,389 in October and 23,407 in the first nine days of November, after the Homework Workshop opened for all grades 1–4 in October.
- Homework Workshop: 43,000 page views from about 15,900 unique visitors.
- Weekly board notes: 390 PDFs, downloaded 22,015 times since 17 October 2026.
- Whiteboard games: 3,087 game launches.
- Classroom management app (since June 2026): 76 teachers, 69 classes and 449 students.

The platform costs users nothing, so there is no barrier for teachers in remote or low-income areas.

How have you modified or added to your innovation?

Teacher feedback drives every change. In October 2026 teachers told us "the questions are too easy", so every mathematics topic was rebuilt with item types found in commercial workbooks (picture counting, number lines, abacus, balance scales, graphs, multi-step problems), written originally. Another teacher noticed a repeated question on one sheet; now automated tests generate thousands of sheets per topic, recompute every answer from the drawing itself and reject any repetition.

The engine started with grade 2 mathematics and now covers all subjects of grades 1–4 for all 37 weeks, including Turkish, life science, science, social studies, English and religious culture. We added camera-based test scoring, per-student copies, weekly reviews, first-grade early literacy with handwriting guide lines, and reading comprehension. Because Turkish is agglutinative, the engine conjugates names and objects with correct suffixes, which generic generators get wrong. A companion site, KazanımGO (kazanimgo.com), adds interactive simulations for more than 400 learning objectives.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

Go to https://eminalagoz.com/odev, choose a grade and a week, pick a topic and press Print / PDF. No account, payment or installation is needed. To score a test with your phone, choose "Test" as the sheet type, print it, and open eminalagoz.com/odev/oku after the students finish. The interface is in Turkish; for collaboration or translation ideas, contact the founder through eminalagoz.com or Instagram @eminhoca.

Implementation steps

Choose the grade and the week
Open eminalagoz.com/odev and select your grade (1–4) and the school week. You will see every topic of that week for all subjects, aligned with the Ministry of National Education yearly plan. No account, payment or installation is needed.
Generate a worksheet or test
Pick a topic, then choose Activity (written answers) or Test (multiple choice), the number of questions and the level (easy, medium or hard). A fresh sheet appears instantly. Press "New questions" for another version, or add student names under "More settings" to print a different, equally difficult copy for every child.
Print and share the answer key
Press "Print / PDF" or "Download". Every sheet carries a QR code that opens its own answer key, so parents can check homework at home and students can check their own work. Everything prints clearly in black and white.
Score tests with a phone camera
When students finish a test sheet, open eminalagoz.com/odev/oku and take a photo of each sheet (or choose photos from your gallery). The system reads the QR code, the marked answers and the student number, and shows each student's score so you can see at once which topics need more practice.
