The DataCation developers have been busy building features, based on user requests, to improve your experience with Skedula and our other portals. The features below will be rolled out from now through the fall. Student Submissions – We are currently beta testing our student work submission in approximately 15 schools. The student submissions can leverage the power of Google docs, but are flexible enough to allow uploads that do not use Google. When configuring the feature, schools will have the option to: 1. Allow teachers to use any Gmail account or restrict the teacher account to a certain domain, including the school’s Google apps domain 2. Allow students to use this feature through PupilPath without an email address or restrict student access to a certain domain, including the school’s Google apps domain Teachers will see this change to the create assignment attach file area: 1. Attach as Supplemental Material – this is the same as our current upload feature 2. Attach as Required Material – this will allow students to upload work documents through PupilPath. Teachers can attach an existing Google doc, a new Google doc or a Word, Excel or Powerpoint file. Teachers can also choose to allow students to upload miscellaneous files for their assignment.
When a student logs into PupilPath, they will have the option to open the Action document and complete the assignment. Parents and teachers will have a view only option for the assignment through PupilPath. If miscellaneous uploads are allowed, the student can upload their files through PupilPath.
