I would like to see the recurring feature added for regular HW (see Q9). I also think that expanding the quiz feature where questions can be posed that ask pupils to type a short, one word answer would be helpful. The multiple choice option is great, but they only make up a small portion of an exam paper so pupils need to be able to recall names etc. and not always chose it from a set of options. It is difficult to create a platform whereby pupils can write extended answers (Google Forms works to an extent here) but answers for 'state the name of...' questions could be loaded by the teacher when creating the quiz. Teachers would still need to be able to overwrite the mark given to allow them to give marks for misspellings etc.
Siobhan found Satchel One:
- Slightly improves attainment“Pupils can be held accountable by parents so may complete more work (especially over this lockdown period).”
- Slightly reduces teacher workload“A regular piece of HW set is a reminder to complete Tassomai questions. I log who has completed them in Satchel:One and award stamps for highest number etc. However, I have re re-use the same HW every week which is time consuming. Being able to re-use HW is helpful compared to always having to start from scratch however, if there were an option to tick the HW as recurring then I could choose multiple dates and set the HW for the term. I like being able to set HW in advance as it is sometimes easier to block this in when I have time, especially at the start of the term. The new options for flexible tasks etc. is a great addition also. I do not make enough use of the community feature.”
