Needs rubric

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.

Great Digital Student Portfolio

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!

Not easy to use

On the iPad, it is not easy to create a new assessment or to input the grades as it keeps switching to letters and not staying on numbers.

Hi there, on more recent versions of the app we’ve added the ability to change the Grade Display setting (so you can switch between letter, number, and percent). Please let us know if you have any questions about this!

No filter options, just not great.

It does not give me any options to filter grades. I need to see a student’s quarter grades but it only give me the overall. The app itself seems to have no real helpful features, really not representative of a company that would want to offer something for teachers in 2019.

Hi Chris, thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us. I have shared your feedback with the team regarding adding more filter options when viewing grades. Getting real feedback from teachers like yourself is what allows us to make the app better, so we really do appreciate it :)

Missing key functions of online version, crashes a lot

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!
