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.

Revamping GradeMate and how it will affect you

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

It’s been a little while since I’ve had the chance to make any significant improvements to GradeMate, probably a little over a year, which I apologize for. However, all of that is about to change as GradeMate will soon go through an entire shift in its direction and purpose.

What does this mean for you? Well, all of the features you currently use and expect from GradeMate will still be available. Nothing is going away. However, the look and feel of the application will be a little different (and prettier) and there will be a whole lot more you’ll be able to do with it.

Most of the changes are going to be gearing it to be used in the classroom. Project pages, book reports, enhanced sharing and collaborating, a blog feature, and a whole lot more is slated for development through Spring 2010. I’ll be sure to keep you posted but for those interested, send me an email at mike@mygrademate.com if you’d like to be included in the private beta to test and provide insight/feedback into the new site.

Stay tuned for more!

What we’re working on right now

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

Some of the things that are keeping us busy right now:

  1. Fixing all of the time zone issues. Right now, if you signed up before we released that feature and have not set your time zone, there could be some display issues for assignment due dates.
  2. Updating the site tour and adding video demonstrations of using some GradeMate features.
  3. Setting up e-mail and text message reminders in conjunction with the reminders you can add on GradeMate.
  4. Letting you have the option to share your reminders on your Public Page as well.
  5. Fixing up some small usability quirks in the Shared page settings and adding a course pages.

Thats about it. Once we clean up the site we’re going to go full blast at releasing a Calendar. Hopefully it will be out early 2008.
