Markboard 4+

Capture a wide variety of data from students: assessment grades, quick notes and photos. The developers are actively developing the app with every update. Give it a try. Give your feedback if you would like to see additional features; the team at Chalk really does consider feedback.

Hi Myron, in the latest version of the app we have added the ability to add graded assessments directly from the app. The crashing issue has also been resolved. Please let us know if you have any further issues!

I’m not able to type in grades quickly in the mobile version. I have to click on the individual student and then wait for the grade page to pop up, enter a grade for that one student, then click back out to the full roster. For rubric assessments, it does not display the rubric so those can’t be scored on my iPad or phone. I am still opening Markboard in my browser and using the fully functional browser based version instead. I just don’t get what this app is supposed to do better than the browser version. Also, the app crashes all the time—every time I tap the three dots in the upper right corner of a screen.

Hi Molly, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We have released a number of updates since the first version of the app, and our goal is to make the app fully functional. In terms of grading students, one thing you can do is swipe between students in the grade entry screen to make this process faster. We’re always looking to improve, so thanks again for sharing your experience!

I really like the interface on the web. I use it mainly for observation and formative data collecting. I’ll set up a rubric with general behaviors I want to track: preparation, participation, following discussion protocols etc... the app doesn’t help me save any time without accessing a rubric. With over 155 students, and very little prep time, I can’t be scrolling through pictures and block text to figure out who was doing what for the day, nor do I have time to type comments about every student in class.

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback with us - we do agree that our rubric support can be much better on the app.
