Teacher Management

Teacher Rubrics, Planning and Sharing

EdCube Connect has a control room that enables teachers to manage all aspects of using e-Portfolios in their classes. The EdCube creation wizard allows teachers to do the following:

1. Add e-Portfolio Title and description that will be displayed on the dashboards
2. Add tags so that all e-Portfolios can be searched by teachers and students
3. Add a thumbnail to showcase the e-Portfolio
4. Add a e-Portfolio rubric or criteria sheet to an e-portfolio project
5. Assign the e-Portfolio project to a class or group of classes
6. Set the view status of the e-Portfolio (i.e. can all students, teachers and parents view the folio)
7. Enable peer assessment
8. Enable commenting on the e-Portfolio
9. Set status as individual or group e-Portfolio
10. Apply a template design to an e-Pprtfolio
11. Enable functions for students to export and share final e-Portfolios.

The EdCube e-Portfolio Creation Wizard

The e-Portfolio Creation Wizard guides teachers through the process in creating a new e-Portfolio for their students. The wizard template is displayed below: 

Dynamic Teacher Rubrics

EdCube Connect provides complete class management around the process of planning and assigning a new e-Portfolio to students.

A key part of the management solution is the Teacher Rubric Editor. The Rubric Editor enables teachers to create an unlimited bank of rubrics that are stored on the teacher's profile. As the teacher assigns a new e-Portfolio project to their class they can select a rubric from the system and this is used by students to guide their work.

The rubric has also been optimised to provide automatic assessment of the folio. When a e-Portfolio has been published by a student, the teacher selects the work, reviews the e-Portfolio and clicks the appropriate criteria grade and adds a comment. The assessmnet engine generates a report (refer to the image below) which identifies the grade and the student (and parents) can view the rubric online.    

Class Management of e-Portfolio Projects

When EdCube Connect is installed in a school, all timetabled classes together with the names of students are automatically imported into the platform.

The 'Manage Classes' tab features the list of timetabled classes in the left column (refer to image below).

When a class is selected, all students names and links to their e-Portfolios are listed. The teacher can simply click on a student to view the progress of their e-Portfolio, check the related workroom activity or select the rubric to automatically assess the work.
