Updated Assignments List and a New Tour Video

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

If you head on over to your course assignments pages you’ll see we updated the assignments list. It’s a little more intuitive thanks to feedback from you guys. Also, we took down the Grades Page and merged it into the Courses Page. You’ll see it contains the same information but we thought it was a better way to organize it.

Other changes include a spruced up home page and a brand new Tour Video. Andrew and Alex did a tremendous job with it. We’re hoping to roll out a set of video tutorials too a little further down the line.

The Brand New GradeMate

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

GradeMate went through a beautiful make-over today. We’ve spent the past six months improving the site functionality and look/feel of the application and we’re incredibly proud to release it to you. Changes and upgrades include a new Bookmarks feature, a brand new layout and user experience, enhanced and heavily updated security features, edit undo/redo in the Grades Manager, and a new view of your course pages.

And the fun doesn’t stop here! We’ll be making large improvements and additions to the service from now through the summer. Some additions include:

  1. Reporting tools for teachers and students
  2. Exporting and importing GradeMate courses and information
  3. Parent accounts and increased communication from Teacher <-> Parent <-> Student
  4. Blog pages, Project pages, and new, exciting ways to share and collaborate

We do all of this for you, for free, and would love your feedback and support. Don’t hesitate to send us bug reports and feature requests or let us know what you think of the web site!
