Teachers stay in complete control.
HUSH is designed to support your teaching — not replace your classroom policies. Below is how we keep every classroom conversation safe, focused, and instructor-led.
Classroom Safety
HUSH is built for large classes where quiet students often stay silent. Every safety feature exists to keep the conversation focused on learning and to give instructors full authority over what appears in their course.
AI Content Moderation
Every incoming question passes through automated filters that detect profanity, harassment, spam, and off-topic submissions before they reach students. Flagged items are held in a moderation queue for instructor review.
- Profanity and harassment filters
- Spam and duplicate detection
- Off-topic detection tuned to course context
Teacher Approval Workflow
Instructors can require approval before any question is visible to the class. Approve, edit, reject, or delete with a single click from the moderation panel.
Privacy & Student Data
Students never create accounts. They join a class through a private link and can submit anonymously. HUSH stores only what is needed to display questions and generate confusion maps for the instructor.
Anonymous Participation Settings
Instructors choose one of three modes per course:
- Anonymous to everyone
- Anonymous to classmates but visible to the instructor
- Fully identified
Anonymous participation can be turned off at any time — for a single lecture or the whole term.
Spam Protection
Rate limits prevent floods from a single device. Duplicate questions are merged into a single thread that students can upvote — so instructors see what matters without noise.
