Show My Homework

[lavanyashetty848]

We were interested in Show My Homework for our school and we have around 200 students and we want to be able to set assign monitor and collect students work. I was wondering if there is a demo site of it and was wondering if you could share your thoughts about the system. Is it good? And suggest any alternatives.

 

Thanks,

Also is the MIS integration necessary?

This is only my opinion/experience but...

 

Good points

 

It works well when it works.

Easy to admin.

 

Bad/what it lacks

 

Support is very hit and miss.

You cannot reset students passwords, only send an email to the students registered email which if they have used a parent email or an email they don't have access to they have to wait until the parent/person accesses it.

Document uploads - if a student does not have office or the format it's uploaded in they cannot read the document. We uploaded everything in PDF.

Academic year - if you move your year groups up in the July after year 11/13 have left then SMHW doesn't like it. In the four years we have had it they still haven't resolved this despite numerous times of being told that they are working in it.

Start of every term the site crashes due to the whole world using it.

 

 

Despite the bad points the parents quite like it and had very minimal major issues over the years.

No idea, if you contact them they will be able to tell you.
