  • Draft grades from your rubric or assignment instructions
    If the teacher attached a rubric, ClassLens grades against it. If not, it works from the assignment description. Either way it drafts a score and written feedback for each submission. Before grading, teachers set strictness, feedback style and how late work is handled.
  • Teacher review before anything is returned
    Grades go to Google Classroom as drafts, or to a review dashboard where the teacher checks each result and releases them all at once. ClassLens never returns grades to students by itself.
  • Knowledge Gap Reports
    After grading, ClassLens shows which concepts the class missed most, so teachers know what to reteach. A sample report built on synthetic data is at classlens.com/demo, no sign-in needed.
  • Works with what students turn in
    Teachers sign in with Google and pick assignments from Google Classroom. ClassLens grades documents, PDFs, images, and uploaded audio and video. Linked videos aren't supported, so the file has to be attached.
  • Security and privacy
    Google OAuth verified, including the restricted Google Drive scope. CASA Tier 2 security assessment complete. SOC 2 Type I attested. Evolved Academics is also a CISA Secure by Design Pledge signatory. Student work is processed on Google Vertex AI with Zero Data Retention enrolled at the project level (no prompt logging, no training use).

Analysis

An editorial look at what each product does well and who it suits.

Overall verdict

  • ShellNewHandler is a niche, lightweight utility hosted on SourceForge designed to give users more control over the Windows 'New' context menu (the ShellNew menu). It can be considered good for its specific narrow use case, but it is an older, minimally maintained tool that may not suit all users, especially those on modern Windows versions.

Why this product is good

  • Provides direct control over customizing the Windows right-click 'New' menu, allowing users to add or remove file type entries
  • Lightweight and free, without bundled bloatware typical of some other free utilities
  • Simple and focused in scope, making it easy to understand for its specific purpose
  • Open distribution via SourceForge allows transparency and no-cost access

Recommended for

  • Power users who want to declutter or customize the Windows New context menu
  • IT administrators managing standardized desktop environments across multiple machines
  • Users comfortable with older utility-style tools and Windows registry-related tweaks
  • Not recommended for casual users seeking modern, actively supported software with regular updates

  • I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?
    Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago
  • This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?
    I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
