What’s New
Version 2.25.0
We’re excited to introduce Assessment Charts for Students and Parents. This new feature provides students and parents with a comprehensive, easy-to-read record of task grades across all classes, giving clear insights into academic progress and achievements. This helps with quickly tracking progress and identifying areas of improvement.
The new Assessment Chart is accessible directly from the Class Overview page via the “Assessment Grades” button. By default, the Assessment Grades page displays all graded tasks for the current academic term. To view grades from previous terms, users can select a different term using the academic term filter located in the top navigation bar.
The chart’s top section displays task categories, allowing users to filter task grades based on specific task categories (Homework, Tests, Labs, etc.) for a more focused view. For classes with multiple grading scales, users can swipe left on the graph to navigate through different scales, making it easy to see all relevant grades in one place. Tasks will be ordered chronologically from their due date and the y-axis displays the grade achieved for each task. A color-coded legend below the chart helps identify each class at a glance.
The Assessment Charts provide students and parents with a centralized, easy-to-read overview of students’ grades on the go, helping them quickly track progress, and identify trends and areas for improvement throughout the term.
Ratings and Reviews
Current Assignment
Difficult to find important topic details or current lesson info. Google Classroom has set an example of more intuitive navigation.
I believe there should be an area where the Teacher / Educator could attach the last assignment or last Graded Quiz or last Graded Test. In our case last Summative. It would give the Parent an opportunity to see where the child is in current lesson . There should also be an area where parent Can note question for next Parent - Teacher conference. So Teachers are not consumed with full conversations on Manage Bac.

U.I Is Unappealing
I think managebac is generally a good platform as far as the basic necessities go, but unlike a platform like google classroom, or even skyward, the user interface is very boring and unappealing.
Its very all over the place and not very user friendly, im used to it now, but when i first switched from Google Classroom to ManageBac it was very hard to tell where to go and what certain tabs did, and going back to my point about it being unappealing, everything is too small and there is too much on the screen, making it both overwhelming and underwhelming at the same time, which doesn’t help the non-user-friendliness.
I hope my review has been an indicator for some of the fundamental problems of managebac.
ManageBac errors
I think the overall app is really cleanly designed, and if I ever forget what class I have its really useful, although when I open the app after closing it it says “unable to verify session”, and the retry button does not work, but when I fully close the app it works, so it’s just a minor inconvenience. The other small complaint I have is the colors for the timetable is really weird like a light grey and it looks really ugly, so maybe add some more color customization.
