ESL etc.

Recently, I was asked to find some sort of gradebook software for our teachers to use. I quickly found Engrade, a free online gradebook that allows for weighting grades in categories. It’s very simple to use, and has all of the features that we need in a gradebook. Plus, it allows students to log in to view their own grades, check on missing assignments, etc. It also has attendance and calendar features. I’m going to give a workshop on it next week at our faculty development day. I’ll post my introductory handout here once I’ve finished it.

All-in-all, it looks good. I’m a little concerned that the servers will be overloaded, but they seem to be taking steps to remedy that problem.
