Used Coolsis for grading and attendance at a charter school
What do you like best?
Attendance, grading, and messages to parents could all be done with one platform. Could send out mass email messages to all parents, or individual emails to parents to notify of late or missing assignments or events that happened in class.
What do you dislike?
When creating assignments using the grading feature, assignment names were limited to abbreviations.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Benefits were combining attendance, grading, and communication into one platform. Weaknesses were that it took a lot of time to get to know all that it can do. Students could be marked tardy on Coolsis, but that was not enough to make it go through the process properly. Needs more attention to feedback to improve the usability of the product.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Solved the problem of having to go between windows for different needs. Benefit was having one platform to enter and/or reference all of the student data from attendance to grading.
