ManageBac Passport is the result of our 15+ years of experience supporting IB DP and CP schools to better manage their programmes.
It links all essential teaching, learning and assessment tools seamlessly. With all your data in one place, ManageBac does away with the clunky divisions between LMS, course content, assessments and professional development. Our aim is to enable schools to focus on education with a comprehensive solution – everything on a single platform, at an affordable price.

Teaching & Learning
Focus on what you love - teaching.
Our unique database design & architecture means that:
- When you create a class, you choose from authorised subjects, which allows teachers to collaboratively share curriculum, resources, tasks, and assignments effortlessly.
- Differentiation is supported naturally within mixed HL & SL classes allowing units and assignments to be delivered separately.
- When a curriculum review occurs, we do the heavy lifting to centrally update the assessment criteria, objectives, IA forms and syllabi, saving our schools countless hours each year.
- Transition years are managed seamlessly, e.g. DP1 will teach a new subject guide, while DP2 remains on the old curriculum.
Staff can view events, tasks, deadlines, exams, and entire calendars by year group, individual class or activity group (i.e. Basketball Club). Students also have access to their own calendar, which is populated with their assignments and activities, and updated in real-time.
Create summative and formative tasks linked to units, custom categories, and resources with support for differentiation (i.e. HL or SL). Allow for student uploads and plagiarism checking with our Turnitin integration.
Integrated with
Supported file types
- Website or Video
- GDocs
- Files (PDF, PPT, DOC, TXT)
- Photo
- Note
Communicate with year groups, teachers, and individual students to provide feedback, suggestions, and add clarity about tasks and assignments. Parents using ManageBac can also receive messages about their students performance alerting them to potential issues as they happen.
As a teacher or administrator you can view assignment deadlines, exams, and entire class calendars by year, group (such as Basketball or Drama Club), or by individual class. Students also get a real-time view of their term as calendar items are synced as soon as they are added by their instructors.
Teachers record class attendance based on the configured preferences (i.e. weekdays and rotation-based, categories, days off). Admins can manage attendance by student, class, or curriculum and set daily digests, send reminders to teachers, and absences to parents.
Assessment & Reporting
Integrated and frictionless.
Tailored for the unique needs of IB DP and CP schools, our systems provide built-in IB DP Curriculum support and country-specific assessment requirements, all wrapped into a sleek, mobile-ready and easy to use interface.
Built-in Internal Assessment forms and worksheets for Groups 1, 2 and 4 provide a workflow for recording orals, assigning works from the Prescribed Books list and managing practicals & labs in the Sciences. Easily export to the IA, Cover Sheet and PSOW forms.
Submit individual task and term assessments by points and anecdotal feedback with customised category weightings and grade boundaries. Create term rubrics for all or specific subjects, and automatically convert to local grades. Administrators can track in real-time the progress of term grade submissions by subject or student.
Interested in how our new split-screen gradebook helps speed things up?
In less than 3 clicks, teachers can link, assign, and distribute a Google Doc template to their entire class. For students, this provides one-click access to their GDocs editor with the coursework template pre-loaded, and automatically saves the submitted GDoc to their portfolio with all marks and annotations preserved for future reference.
Our Turnitin integration allows student coursework to be automatically submitted through Turnitin prior to grading in order to improve student writing, empower original thinking, and prevent plagiarism. Access all Feedback Studio features directly from within ManageBac.
Vantage Reader is a built-in tool for all marking and annotation of submitted coursework. Designed to be collaborative, multiple authors can comment and annotate individual assignments in parallel – just like in Google Docs.

Thousands of exam questions at your fingertips.
The Exam Question Bank currently features 1,000+ questions with solutions across the following subjects:

All questions come with the IB Markscheme, as well as fully worked written and video solutions designed with students in mind, explaining every step of the way. Depending on the mean of delivery, students don’t see any solutions.
Syllabus Mapping & Tagging
Keeping questions organised.
All questions are organised along syllabus topics, and tagged to give you the perfect overview:

Study or Assessment Delivery
One source, available for studying or online assessments. All in one place.
Passport is a solution that covers the full academic journey of students – from exam practice to delivering assessments.

Exam practice needs an interface designed for studying. Our Study & Revision environment delivers exam questions on a per-topic or exam level, giving students all available solutions; the IB Markscheme as well as fully worked written and video solutions.
When delivering assessments, the interface design changes radically – with our Online Assessment environment, teachers get to curate exams and mark them directly within ManageBac. Students don’t get to see any solutions.
Mock exams
The Exam Question Bank is the perfect tool for mock exams. This is why we save some exams only for teachers, meaning that content will only be available for the Online Assessment tool – students will not have seen these questions.

Supercharging students’ revision.
We’ve blended the most effective media in one place; IB and our in-house exams from the Question Bank, flashcards for bite-sizing, videos for anchoring key concepts, and revision guides for comprehensive subject overviews. ManageBac Passport gives students the possibility to learn in the way that best suits them, on any device, anytime and anywhere. Flipped classroom? Check!
