FreshGrade

FreshGrade is a Canadian-based e-portfolio based assessment platform, where teachers can easily document student activities, individually or in groups, assess and comment on their progress, and share with parents. The platform affords a ‘conversation’ among teacher, student and parents as a triad involved in the assessment and evaluation process. Using photos and videos to capture students’ activities in class, it offers parents a window into school activities and snapshots of student learning. Teachers are able to monitor and be reminded of daily student progress, and students are able to engage in self-assessment.
