Mockups for a Specs Grading App

Update 18-Apr-2019: I’ve cobbled together a script that will generate reports for students depending on which assessments they have passed. The code is here.

I expect that one of the challenges of Specs Grading is managing student completion and ensuring all students have up to date information on their progress. I’m not sure that Blackboard will suit this. I’ve mocked up what an app to allow teachers to manage this data would look like. It would be significant work to write this, especially allowing logins or integration with existing login systems to ensure students can only see their own data.

Teacher Assessment Page

Student Report Page

A simpler way to achieve this would be to keep the data in spreadsheets and use some scripting to generate reports that can be emailed to students. For example this workflow shows how reports can be generated using Python and MailMerge is a command line tool that could automatically mail each student’s report to them.
