Users are getting comfortable with the system quickly, and with ease, and the system is allowing us to improve efficiency of our processes in many offices.
The interface for managing permissions is also very clunky and sometimes confusing, requiring double negative logic to understand what a permission is doing.
Reports are easily accessible and customizable. This is such a great feature for the Registration Department as we need accurate statistics immediately.
Once I posted the financial aid of the student, I could not delete it anymore if I happen to make a mistake. I have to make another entry to negate it.
The ability to also customize webpages, email notifications, triggers, courses as needed gave us the power to be more flexible and creative with how we focus our energy and time.
An example of this is syncing Campus Cafe with Canvas LMS- students who withdraw or drop would sometimes sync with Canvas and other times it would not. So there was that inconsistency.
Has the best feature-to-price ratio of any platform we looked at.
Our work is now more streamlined and time we spend on projects and validation of record accuracy has been cut in half.
Our teachers are all able to easily use Gradelink. Of great benefit is the Help option, which answers questions clearly and succinctly.
We frequently run into odd errors that change grades on transripts etc. I called multiple times this year.
Our teachers like the Lesson Planning section, and the ease of recording grades. Our administration likes the variety of reports that can be obtained, and ease of printing them.
The only complaint I've had with the software is with the representative we were originally assigned.
Very easy to learn and user friendly. Has wonderful features for teachers and communications.
Sometimes teachers complain about the percentages not averaging out right on their semester grading.
Our students love it because they are more focused on their academics. And most important, our teachers love it because it allows them customize their grading styles to fit their class.
I could not follow or nor quite under stand the prior support technician. I and my parents were extremely frustrated.
Lauren J.: Hi, my name is Lauren. I'm a high school teacher. I give Gradelink a five out of five star review. For more reviews like this, click below. I would say Gradelink solves a lot of problems as far as keeping up with the daily grades. Before, it was a grade book. Now, it automatically keeps track of all of that. Most importantly, I think it helps out with communication, is the biggest thing, is I can have direct communication with all of the parents of my students, even with the students themselves, because I have their email, I have their phone number, all the pertinent information that I need to be able to communicate with them to make sure that they're keeping tabs where they're at, we're all on the same page. That's definitely the biggest problem solver of Gradelink. The thing I like most about Gradelink would be, it takes a lot of time off of my hands that I don't have to worry with. I can take just a little bit of time at the beginning of the school year to set up and establish my grading preferences and my lesson plans, and throughout the school year, it saves me a lot of time later on, so I'm not constantly going back and having to put that in myself, because it's already laid out for me. If there was one thing I would change, it might be, sometimes with the assignments, from time to time, I feel that the computer tries to put in something different than what I'm trying to put in. It just takes an extra second to make sure I'm clicking the right thing myself. But that's the only minor thing.
