I’ve been working in the education sector for more than 25 years, and spent time working as a teacher. I remember all too well the challenges that came with assessing pupil’s progress and recording that in a paper based or separate computer systems – it wasn’t just difficult to keep everything organised, it was also practically impossible to align the evidence you had recorded with other important information about the pupils you taught. These challenges are exactly why our SIMS Next Gen My Markbook is so exciting. with broken calculations and out-of-date class lists. Usually one person knows how the process works, or

All the data from your archived assignments is still available to report on in the Reports tab. How can I archive an assignment? Once an assignment has reached its due date, you can archive it. The ‘archive’ button appears in two places: on the group assignment item listing and the assignment item overlay – overview tab. You can also use the ‘archive all’ button at the top of the Current tab to archive all items past their due date. Find out more on Archiving here. What if I’ve archived an item by mistake/changed my mind? Yes. All results are fed through to the Reports tab regardless of whether the students have completed the assignment (an empty cell denotes ‘not completed’) — or whether the teacher has marked the assignment (an em-dash denotes ‘awaiting marking’). I still can’t see the results for my assignment in the Reports tab. Why not? Suitable for any subject area regardless of how or what you assess. Show or hide up to five different assessment objective columns for each assessment. One of my biggest frustrations as a teacher was having to use paper-based record systems, and later Word or Excel, which ended up messy, time-consuming, often unreliable and not reflective of my evaluation. In My Markbook, you can record what you want, how and when you want to record it. You can customise your markbook for individual classes and enter the results of all assessments, using our pre-defined assessment types or ones you create yourself, so you can monitor pupils’ ongoing progress in a way that suits you and your class.Moving something to the Archived tab doesn’t change its status or prevent you from marking the assignment. It is just organising the assignment items into two lists (Current and Archived). Your markbook will autosave every few seconds. You don't ever have to worry about losing the data you've entered with Smartgrade! We auto-save your marks every few seconds, and you always know when that's happened as they go green once saved (see screenshot below).

Supports GCSE (9-1 or A*-G), A Level and Pre-U. Goodbye to using different workbooks for different types of grades! I am so excited that My Markbook is the first of many upcoming SIMS Next Gen Secondary Assessment products, which will free up data managers’ time and make recording standard and ad-hoc assessment data really easy for teachers. The other major thing is that grade boundaries cannot be calculated using a raw score instead of a percentage, when using past papers, the boundaries are given as raw not %. Having to calculate %’s seems to defeat the purpose of having the markbook, plus, there is the potential for rounding errors if converting to %.

ILR Data Analyser

Use quality-assured classroom assessment data as the evidence behind subject and school-level dataanalysis My Markbook simplifies the assessment process by enabling teachers to record the outcomes of tests, observations, evaluations, skills competences and more all in one place, on any device, from anywhere. Supports Foundation, Intermediate and Higher tier students in the same class and will limit grades accordingly. Markbooks are accessed from the "Markbooks" tab. Here you will find all markbooks that have been assigned to classes you teach. If you're an administrator, you'll also see all markbooks from your school or MAT. Finally, I've updated the code for the grades so that if you enter an 'N' in the mark column, it won't assign a grade.

I really like the fact this is a single markbook with all features and whilst on first appearance the markbook looks really useful, since using it, there are a number of flaws that have appeared which given the initial cost are disappointing. When entering scores, I often use a code such as ‘nh’ for no homework in place of a numerical score. This has the effect of awarding an ‘star’ for that homework and thereby affecting the overall grade. Would it be possible to allow for letter codes to go in as well?
You can navigate your way around the markbook using keyboard shortcuts. There are two options for doing so: Yes, there is a toggle at the top left of your screen that allows you to choose between scores and percentages. I can’t see RAG coding when I look at the marks for an assignment. Why not?
