We have made some changes to the site. Previously we landed on the
calendar page. From some of the feedback we got it would make more sense
to land on the dashboard page, so we've enabled that. The early feedback on 
that change has been good. 

We've also started adding documentation to the site. You can find it by clicking the
"Academy and Docs" link in the menu bar on the left. 

Enjoy !

We're making big strides here at K12Portal: we're announcing a new and much 
improved way of enabling sharing assignments and grades with parents and students. 

In the gradebook, look for a link top right that says: "Student Dashboard". 

All that is required is to click the link and enable sharing. 

Enjoy ! As always, keep the feedback coming !

Several users have asked us whether or not it is possible to customize the attendance and score codes.  The product supported this internally already so we decided to expose this to our users. Here's how it works:

- Access the gradebook
- When you're in the gradebook, click on the "Setup"-tab

Here you'll find the "score footnotes" and the "attendance codes" links, which can be used to customize the score and attendance codes. 

Customize away, and keep the feedback coming !

We're seeing record traffic (almost) everyday. Based on user feedback we've added a couple of features to the product. 

You can now share calendars with colleagues, students and friends. This allows people who you are connected with to create events on your calendar. 

Also, we've added a shortcut to add students to a section, right in the gradebook.

Furthermore we've fixed several bugs that we've (and you ! ) have found in the last weeks. 

Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who's left feedback, good or bad for us. The most important way for us to make things better is if you tell us ! You can leave feedback using the links on the top right of the page or at roger@k12portal.com. 

Thanks for using K12Portal!

Dear Customers:
 
We have had tremendous early success with our product, many, many of you have been checking out the service. As a result, we have found several bugs (yikes!) that we have been diligently fixing. In addition, we have gotten several requests for some changes and feature requests. 

Some specifics of new developments:
- New dashboard page has been rolled out. It contains more of what you want, in a format that is (hopefully!) easier to read
- New assignment detail screen. 
- Improved overall stability and performance of the site, including an improved backup  mechanism

We're getting very close to roll out a public version of our reporting engine. This will allow you to create and update existing reports. This is ofcourse mission critical, we're working diligently to make sure the quality is what you would expect it to be. 

Here is what you can do for us: Every page has a 'Leave Feedback' link on the top of the screen to the right. As you're using the product, please let us know what your thoughts are ! Alternatively you should always feel free to reach me on roger@k12portal.com. I read all my email, and respond to it too !
 
From the K12Portal team, we wish you all a great and prosperous 2010!  

Very Best Wishes from the team !

Mikin, Roger, David, Anna and a cast of 1000's :-)


 

We've been up for a week now, and the early feedback has been really good, and informative ! Fortunately, not too many bugs but some great usability feedback.

We're on it... expect updates and improvements on an ongoing basis. Keep the feedback coming, it's how we get better !

After a couple of years of hard work, we're thrilled to announce that we're live with the first iteration of K12Portal.com. A lot of hard work went into this release. I'm sure there are still bugs and issues outstanding, feel absolutely free to reach out to us and let us know what you think ! 

The (very proud) K12Portal.com team.
