What can it do? • Grading • Email • Database • Homework Calendars • Flashcards • Online quizzing • Discussion Board • Class Wiki’s • Attendance tracking (where desired) • Assignment “turn ins”

Quizzes • An instructor first creates a quiz using Engrade- currently there is only the choice for Multiple choice questions but this will be expanding to allow more question types in the future. • The instructor then assigns a quiz to the class. • Students then login to Engrade and can then follow the instructions to take the quiz. • Engrade automatically grades the quiz and once the teacher closes the quiz it is automatically graded and the instructor can then choose to save the grades to their gradebook.
Class Wikis and Files • Wikis are web-based educational documents such as formatted text, images, links, YouTube videos and flashcards. • Files allow teachers to upload power points, PDF, doxc and images so students can access them from anywhere for homework or study.
Allthink Lessons • All Think is an online lesson portal. Using Engrade and Allthink, teachers are able to build an online lesson using YouTube vidoes, images and text. The instructor then adds a short quiz so students can assess themselves!
