It’s good but some things don’t work

It’s a great app and it’s convenient for students, but some things, students look at their timetable almost every class, every time they need to transfer classes, they check it, there should be a export feature or integration with the Apple calendar invite or it should have toggle-able notifications 5-10 mins before the next class starts, also there the new themes feature doesn’t work, whatever style you choose, turn on dark mode off and on, it doesn’t work, also there should the a replaceable buttons at the bottom bar, some people don’t need quick add, they need a calendar button for example, they should bring back the changing buttons at the bottom bar, all that aside it’s overall a good app.

Needs overall class stream and missed work

/student/task_and_deadlines from the student side is exactly the list for grades needed in the parent’s view as well. Parent view - The assignments you’re actually looking for are in “streams” in each class. Some streams aren’t on class homes but the toggle of the unit within the class. Streams for each class would be great, possibly including just one with all streams on home. The main reporting to highlight should be the work not submitted. In order to figure this out, I have to go through each stream and notice which doesn’t have a green check mark at the top left. I would expect a red x , and total, or filter for missed work. As well as some notification alerts. The bar graphs for formatives / summatives are not intuitive. Multiple formatives are reported in some classes so this isn’t an average. Line graphs for each class, filtered by Hw, tests, class work, and projects would be far more helpful for tracking. This should also have the conversion option of percentage out of 100 as is used in the stream. This view weekly, monthly, and quarterly for each class on one page would allow keeping track of the trend. I think teachers were able to disable my private comments where I wanted to submit the photos of work on each assignment to match with the grades. Parental access to problems like textbooks taken home would steer everything. I can only teach after the fact unless I find my own questions from which classes share modules like math. And yet, all work isn’t uploaded for all classes, only graded, maybe. Lots of grades just for completion make averaging what goes into the final grade murky. Classes are missing rubrics on what type of work will represent what percentage of the final grade. Ie tests may be 40% and we’re unaware. Perhaps we need the kid’s weekly planner view on our side as well. ** Would’ve been great for last week’s update that provides a overall task and deadline stream on home to also include past ones, filterable by week/month. Missed. **

Please just let us view all tasks

It’s annoying that I am forced to use Managebac for my school, because the design is terrible. First of all, it is so difficult to view all tasks, which allows you to see your grades and past tasks. Literally every few weeks the view all tasks button seems to be buried under a pile of nothing! You keep pushing for the “units” tab every time you click on a class, but it literally has no information that I need! My teachers schedule the tasks for the class time, so when Im in class I need to view the previous tasks as the time has already passed, and the only way to do this is to look through the billion menus. This is the same for the website version, where you have to click multiple times just to see your grades. Please just let us have a button for all tasks on the main page of classes. Please. Second, is this new dropbox page you added, it’s kind of unnecessary as you have to load an extra page just to upload a file, the other system that was integrated on the task page was great! Please, the managebac that existed a year or so again was SO much better, and I know this information probably won’t do any good and you won’t use it but just keep these things in mind.Thank you.

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.

We’ve brought the full Service Learning experience to your mobile device. Students can now manage their entire service learning journey from the app, making it easier to stay on top of their Service Learning requirements on the go. - Students can create and manage Service Learning activities with categories, approaches, and date tracking, keeping everything organized in one place. Reflections and evidence can be captured in the moment with photos, videos, files, links, and notes, so students can document experiences while they’re still fresh. - A visual timeline chart, completed hours donut chart, and Learning Outcome progress bars give students a clear picture of where they stand across all activities. - Supervisor reviews can be requested and tracked directly in the app, removing the need to coordinate outside the platform. - The All Reflections page brings together every reflection across all activities with filters for Starred, Authors, and Learning Outcomes, making it simple to review work when preparing for programme completion. - All reflections can be exported to PDF for easy sharing and submission. - Coordinator-defined Service Learning questions can be viewed and answered in-line, helping students complete programme requirements on their own time. - Documents related to the Service Learning worksheet can be accessed and managed from a dedicated tab. This update also includes bug fixes and performance improvements.
