Complex
Not all features available on mobile app. Mail or notifications are very complicated to handle. Should be as any other mail app. As a parent you can’t see grades easily, you have to go class by class, assignment by assignment. Won’t allow you to filter tasks by pending or upcoming so again, you have to go class by class.Equate_sucks
Not intuitive or user-friendly
Through several other schools my children have attended over the past 13 years, I have encountered very good (Powerschool), okay (Canvas, Sycamore, Google Classroom) and bad (Magnus) apps for tracking and submitting school grades, assignments, forms, teacher communication, etc. ManageBac is by far the worst app I have had to use. It is neither intuitive nor user-friendly. There is nowhere one can see (as a parent) an overall view of how my student is doing in terms of grades, assignments (graded, missing, upcoming), tardy/absence standing, or a means of communicating with teachers for ALL CLASSES AT ONCE. I have to click on each class individually to see assignments, which may or may not have been graded (not always correctly indicated) and the grades may or may not show. The problem is not exclusive to parents. I have spoken with several of my student’s teachers and found that they, too, struggle with the clunkiness. For that reason, they often don’t bother to enter or update the grades, etc., which in turn leaves us parents “in the dark” about our students’ standing and progress. My understanding is that ManageBac is most useful for the IB Program students in Years 12 and 13. For Year 7, my student’s current grade, ManageBac is virtually useless and wastes time because I need to contact teachers, who are already very busy, just to find out how my son is doing in school. I have never been more mystified nor frustrated by a school-related app.HRyl

August 21, 2024
We’re excited to introduce the new Portfolio, a dedicated space for students and teachers to showcase students’ best work, evidence of learning, and classroom activities, highlighting their learning journey. • New Portfolio Timeline: The Portfolio Timeline has been revamped into a simplified, social media-style feed that puts students’ evidence of learning at the forefront of their Portfolio. This update includes redesigned previews for all multimedia options including photos, documents, audio, and video, making the Portfolio more visually engaging for students, teachers, and parents. • Simplified Discussions: We’ve improved communication within the Portfolio by simplifying resource comments, making it more direct and user-friendly to engage with students, teachers, and parents. • Improved Resource Management: Adding evidence of learning to Portfolios is now easier for students and teachers. A large ‘+’ button has been added to the Portfolio Timeline, allowing quick uploads of various multimedia. Additionally, we’ve added a Quick Action menu for each post, providing quick access to options for editing descriptions, adding audio recordings, and sharing resources. • New Resource Type: Notes Notes is a new resource type that significantly enhances how students and teachers communicate within the Portfolio. Notes allow for quick messages or reflections directly on the student’s Portfolio Timeline. Notes are designed to stand out visually, providing a vibrant and engaging way to communicate and highlight quick messages, student reflections, classroom activities, or achievements. • Audio Recordings: Audio recordings are a new feature for the Portofio, providing a new form of communication. Audio recordings are effective for younger students who are not yet proficient readers or when communicating longer messages. Audio recordings can be added directly to students’ Portfolio Timeline, as a description of students’ evidence of learning, or as a comment, making the Portfolio more interactive and accessible. Start capturing students’ learning journeys through the new Portfolio.
