eduCrate, a learning management system, offers a streamlined infrastructure advantageous for the blended learning environments of grade-school aged students. The software provides educators an authoring tool in which to deliver assignments, document the progress of students, record correspondence with parents, and otherwise manage and administer all other miscellaneous instructional content directly to the parents and students.

Features:

Registration and Log In

• Software accepts log in from three distinct registered users: teachers, parents, and students
• Teachers and Parents log in using their email, a hashed password, and a generated token
• Students log in using a username, hashed password, and a generated token

Features for Teachers

• This application was designed for ease of use among teachers and parents, particularly teachers

  Teachers have administrative control over the information that is uploaded and disseminated

  The teacher's Dashboard and Navigation Bar will have more features than both parents and students

• Dashboard Nav routes users to Courses, Students, Inbox, Calendar, and Log out

• Courses view displays a list of that user's courses and course descriptions

• Clickable Course Name generates a Course Navigation Bar

• Course Navigation Bar routes users to Syllabus, Assignments, Grades, and __Students

• Syllabus view displays the syllabus for the course previously selected

• Assignments view displays name and description of current assignments for the selected course

• For the teacher, he/she has button to 'add assignments'

• Add Assignment view allows the teacher to name and describe the new assignment - it is then added to the Assignment view

• Students view displays the names of the teacher's students along with email, phone, and a link to guardian info

• Guardian info link displays guardian's information (name, email, telephone)

• When the name of the guardian is clicked, a compose message box is generated

• Grades view displays student name, assignment name, assignment status, and grade

• Because the teacher will have a multitude of grades data, the Grades table is searchable

• The teacher also has an 'edit' option to update a student's assignment status or grade

• The Inbox displays unread messages, both numerically near the Dashboard Navbar icon and in bold text in the message view. User can compose and send messages, view all previous sent messaes.

• The Calendar displays and paginates through months, weeks, work weeks (M-F), days, and agenda tables

• The teacher's calendar features, exclusively, an 'add event' button

• The Add Event display allows teachers to name the event, chose a start and end time from a date picker, enter notes about or a description of the event, and assign the event to a specific course

• Log Out destroys the users token
