Workflow between teachers and students is a system through which teachers distribute work/tasks to students, collect the completed work back from them and provide them with the necessary feedback. The problem lies with teachers having to distribute tasks to all students, keeping a record of them, allowing them to accumulate the work of an entire class year at one place, and then recollecting the completed work back from each and every student to provide them with the necessary feedback, all at one place, in less time and a more manner.
Here’s the step-wise of how Edmodo+Evernote (great tools for educators) address to this issue:
- Teachers can upload assignments/worksheets for students on Edmodo.
- Students can download the uploaded docs, collect and work on them in one easily accessible portfolio- Evernote.
- Students can export presentations, docs, PDFs, photos to Evernote in their ‘Notebook’ which is shared with their teachers.
- Now, they can upload their completed work back on Edmodo.
- Teachers can in turn download each student’s submission, grade their work and provide them feedback, all on Edmodo.
- Students can also take screenshots of the marked assignments and add them as notes to the same notebook on Evernote.
- Alternatively, with premium accounts, teachers along with viewing can also edit the content of a student’s notebook; hence feedback can be directly left on Evernote as well.
