Homework Management - parent communications, management info

[jdoyle]

how does your school use ICT to keep parents, TAs and management in the loop re the giving out of homework, the handing in of homework and the grading of homework?

 

still using manual processes

VLE?

off the shelf package?

home grown solution?

worked with a vendor to develop a solution?

Students write homework in their paper planner.

 

But hoping to find a better 'IT' replacement soon.

have you a list of off the shelf IT solutions you're looking at or are you planning an in house solution?

[Sylv3r]

Not looked around for solutions yet - to do exactly what we need we may need to put something together inhouse.

I haven't found anything off the shelf that looks like it would do the job. Inhouse development looks like being a bigger job than we can really handle at the moment.

We are using the homework bits of Moodle. SMT made the decree that all homework has to go on. It's been tricky but we are getting there.

All through Moodle here and parents have logins to Moodle and was incredibly useful on the snow day!
