Oversight

Ability to change the mark for an assignment and document the reason. 

i.e. for copying (detected by the system) both (all six) assignments receive -5 points or better the source receives no credit and the copiers -5

exceptional work +3 points

the delta along with documentation is available for parents and supervisors to view

track revisions of material 

compare to see progress

move back if necessary

staff and teacher should be able to maintain accounts of their students

public information (avatar, handle ...) should be maintained by the student - some students will abuse the privilege and can be locked out

Communication is key to learning.  

Ability to send messages to select individuals.  e.g.  your homework #7 is due, your child's grades are available, take a tour of this feature ...

The messages should be obvious.  Some should be dismissable and some snoozable.  

E-Learning LMS

This system will provide Learning Management System functionality.  Things like class roster, grades, class schedule ...

There are many LMSs now: ClassDojo, Moodle, Opigno ...

Existing systems are focused on management and control.  They cater to administrators and ignore teachers, students, and parents.

the goals of ELMS are to:

Parents should have the ability to easily see their child's progress:  grade, attendance, class participation, materials ...  The teacher could also provide feedback only to the parent.

Parents will need an account bound the their child's account.

One approach is to send an email to the parent with a link.  Another would be to provide an link on the child's account that the parent could use to create an account though this would be gamed.
