We know that parents like to feel involved in their children’s
education. Helping them with homework and being able to monitor their progress in
an easy and accessible way using an online platform or Parent Portal, such as
Fusion VLE from My Learning, is a great way of keeping parents up to date. As
parents, we know how easy it is to miss information sent home from school as
letters get lost in the bottom of bags or homework tasks are not written down
in planners.
For students, in an increasingly digital world, being able
to view, complete and submit homework online makes life much easier and can
increase productivity. Here are the top 10 things that make our Fusion VLE online
homework tool perfect for students and parents.
1. Clear list of homework due
The Homework dashboard panel on the student
home screen provides a clear list of all homework due at any time. Students can
access the homework tasks directly from this panel.
The Parent Portal provides parents with a
clear list of all homework assignments due to be submitted by their child.
2. Indication of “What’s New” on the
dashboard/home screen
Students will see any new homework
assignments clearly highlighted in the Homework dashboard panel on their home
screen.
In the Parent Portal, any newly set
homework will be highlighted on the home screen so it is immediately visible to
parents. Parents can access the individual homework tasks directly from this
screen.
3. Due dates in calendar/planner
Deadlines and due dates for homework
submissions will appear in the Student Calendar, which can be viewed on the
home screen via the dashboard panel. Parents can also view their child’s
calendar to see when homework needs to be submitted.
4. Notifications of new and marked work
When new homework has been set both
students and parents will receive a notification to inform them. Notifications
will also be triggered when a teacher has marked the student’s work and/or
provided feedback. Students and parents can follow the link in the notifications
for direct access.
5. Teachers mark and comment online
Teachers are able to mark work and provide
feedback comments online, allowing students and parents to view these at any
time on any device. This provides a permanent record of the marks/feedback that
can be referred to.
6. Re-work and re-submit work once marked
Students are able to act upon feedback from
their teacher and re-work/re-submit assignments with amendments and
improvements made. Re-submissions are saved as a new file alongside the original
submission, allowing for easy monitoring of progress.
7. Work and grades saved in Workbook and Grading
Centre for evidence and records
Completed homework submissions can be sent
to the student’s workbook (e-portfolio) to be collated as evidence along with
any other files they have created or submitted. Students and parents can then
view their grades for each piece of work in the Grading Centre.
8. Parents can track their child’s homework
Parents, via the Parent Portal, are able to
track their child’s progress on each piece of homework, including being able to
view submissions and re-submissions made.
9. Parents can access the homework description
and resources to help support their child’s homework
In the Parent Portal, parents can view the
homework description and resources in the same way their child can. This allows
them to provide support for their child as necessary, with access to all the
given information and resources.
10. Parents can see the teacher given grades
and feedback
Parents are able to see the grades and
feedback given by teachers. They can view the progress their child is making
and directly access the feedback comments provided by the teacher, so as to be
able to further support their child as necessary.
