User Friendliness (5 out of 5)

The principal telephoned my room. “Mr. Daltrey, we need you next door. Mr. Townsend needs help.” I raced over.

“Mr. Townsend, what’s wrong?”

“Who are you, Tommy?” he snapped, “I can’t believe these kids. They keep asking, ‘I need to know what I got on the Greek and Latin roots assignment. Can I check my grades online?’ over and over. They’re not like my generation. We waited until grade day to get our grades–Can I check my grades online? Go stare at pictures of Lily online and leave me alone, I tell them–”

“Mr. Townsend,” I interrupted, “The kids are alright. They’re referring to the Edulink Intouch system our school just adopted. It’s really easy to set up. Let me show you…”

    • Disciplinary Incidents
    • Health Data
    • Immunizations
    • Course Requests
    • Class Schedules
    • Attendance
    • Grades
    • Deficiencies
    • Test Scores
    • Course History
    • Graduation Requirements
    • Transcripts

Support (5 out of 5)

I’ll be honest with you. I never had any problems, so I never had to access their online support. Here are some suggestions for making Edulink more efficient at your school:

  • Offer periodic, voluntary training.
  • Make a particular day of the weak mandatory for uploading grades.
  • Train a person in each department or school wing as an expert. Make sure he or she is friendly.
  • Have the computer person at your school set up a gradebook template and put it on the school server. The Internet display looks much more professional with uniformity.
  • Have the data imported from the school database into your electronic gradebook. Typos may prevent a student from showing up properly. With Edulink, unlike other online grades system, identifiers are easy to modify.
  • Upload your grades on Friday. Golf on Saturday.
