AWIS Personalized Learning Gallery offers an easy way to manage any students personal learning. The app is an easy to use tool acting as an integrated or stand alone module of AWIS SSDAS Student Information System.
Teachers or school administrators use the app to create new student assessments of personalized learning and to see the gallery of all accomplishments for each student. For each student project they include a title and description and they can assign subjects/courses and competencies that are applicable for the specific project. Teachers or administrators may optionally include an image of the project as well as an image of the rubric/scoring guide. Teachers may also apply a score to the assessment in order to keep track of a students trend towards meeting or exceeding mastery of a competency for their current grade level. They may also provide communication to the parents with ways to support their learning or other feedback.
Parents can use the app to see their childrens projects. In the gallery the projects are sorted by date with the newest shown first, so they can instantly notice any new ones. They are able to view the communication from the teacher and to easily reply to the teacher in a blog-type dialogue.
Students can use the app to see their own projects and have the capability to easily reply to the teacher and to take part in the teacher/parent/student communication.
