Projects don’t get assessed this way.

Why we created

Today’s students have the tools to create and share the things they learn to gain feedback

and insights from peers and educators

Great student work shouldn’t end up here…

..and it cannot be solely assessed here.

Assessing and communicating competences built with rigor and

accountability is hard.

What is ?

is a learning platform that enables teachers to create and share dynamic projects, leave meaningful feedback on student work, and allows learners to capture and track their academic growth and achievement over time in digital learning portfolios.

We help educators create, share, and assess dynamic project based assignments.

We give educators tools to provide meaningful feedback.

Rubric

VideoGrades Badges Text Audio Rubrics

We give the students a platform to complete projects, get feedback from educators + peers, and then create

portfolios of their best work so they can track growth over time

Built specifically for educators, students, admins, and parents

Key Features of

Projects + Assignments

Create projects or assignments

Educators can use our default rubric

Choose a rubric from the educator shared library

Create a custom rubric

Add support content to the project assignment

Notes about Projects + AssignmentsProjects + Assignments can be made public to other teachers and accessed in the assignment library.

Like Projects / Assignments, Rubrics can also be made public and shared.

Tools to Capture + Create

A wide variety of tools allows for creating and capturing work

Annotation Tools

Notes about Creation and Capture Tools

Annotations can be added to new images or those previously created

We offer tools to allow web clips, photos, videos, images from the photo library, whiteboard clips, Dropbox, and Google Drive

Web-clips are cited in APA format with EasyBib

Feedback Tools

First Machine Trial

Simple Machine Project

Great work on this project! I really like the way that you explained the motor placement and the way you wrote the script for the motion path on the car.

Notes about Feedback

Feedback is controlled by the educator assigning the project

Feedback from the teacher includes audio, video, badge, grade, text, or rubric - other teachers and peers do not have the ability to add or change the grade, rubric, or badge given

Feedback is sent to the students and will be available as part of the progress report

Progress Reports
