We all know that homework has become a staple part of our
education system. Whether it be writing an essay, answering questions, keeping
a diary or watching a video in preparation for class, teachers are continually
finding creative and productive ways of getting students to complete homework
assignments.
How many times has a student in your class forgotten their
homework, not written it down correctly or lost the resources provided? With an
online homework tool this can all be avoided. Here are the top 10 things that
make our Fusion VLE online homework tool perfect for teachers.
1. Set work for a group with one click
Setting work for your class is quick and
easy, just one click will allow you to assign homework to a chosen group.
2. Select individual students for
differentiation
Want to set a differentiated task for a
student or a select group? No problem! You can select any number of students to
assign a different homework assignment/task to without singling them out in
front of the rest of the group.
3. Create multimedia rich descriptions of the
task
You can include links, images and videos within your homework description to
give students all the information they need in order to complete the
assignment. You could even add a video of yourself modelling what you want them
to do or giving them a mini-introduction to the task.
4. Drag and drop upload of files and resources
to support the task
You can easily provide files and resources
for the homework assignment using the drag and drop uploader. Select the files
you want to attach and drag them into the uploader for quick and easy
attachment.
5. Set start and deadline dates
You can choose the date the assignment will
go live to students as well as the deadline date for hand in/completion. There
is also the option for these dates to be added to the students’ calendars so
that they have a visual reminder on their own dashboards.
6. Automatic notifications to students and
parents
Once you have set a homework task for a
group both the students and their parents will receive a notification informing
them that a new piece of homework has been set and providing a direct link to
the assignment. You can even send an instant popup message to students to
inform them of a new piece of homework.
7. Parents can view via the Parent Portal to
monitor and support the student with their homework
Using the Parent Portal, parents can log in
and view the homework exactly as the student sees it (with the exception of
being able to submit a file). They can also see the work their child has
completed and submitted. This allows parents to support their child with their
homework and monitor their progress.
8. Clear indication when tasks have been
completed
Once a student has completed/submitted their homework teachers will see this
clearly highlighted within the Homework dashboard panel and within the homework
task itself.
9. All homework can be viewed, marked and
feedback provided via a single screen
Teachers can view, mark and provide
feedback on homework all from a single screen. Students homework submissions
are all accessible from one screen for ease of use and efficiency.
10. Online marking of students’ work
Students’ homework submissions can be
marked and graded online with our marking tool. The school can set a bespoke marking
scheme and teachers can also add custom comments to student work to provide
them with feedback.
