Yellowdig launches Auto- Grading and LMS Gradebook Integration

Aug. 31, 2015 - PRLog -- Today Yellowdig, the leading Instructor–to-Student(s) connectivity software for Higher Education Learning Management Systems (LMS), launched its new Auto- Grading and LMS Gradebook Integration within its Private Social Learning and Analytics Platform.

Student course participation on the platform is tracked and synced with the LMS Gradebook through an automatic process --a process which is fully customizable by the instructor.

Ilya Braude, CTO of Yellowdig, says, “We remain committed to constant innovation of our platform. This latest release marks another evolution in the platform’s ability to seamlessly meld into the natural flow that students and faculty expect today. Our previously released mobile apps ignited excitement among students, and now today Gradebook Integration is igniting excitement among faculty. We continue to execute on our unique platform development strategy which is enabling innovative instructional design practices at the instructor level.”

“It’s unbelievable just how much work instructors are required to do. They are incredibly overloaded -- and increasingly more so. We took serious note of their pain point. It caused us to ask ourselves, ‘What if we design in features that allow instructors to reclaim time spent on unproductive tasks?  For example, what if we automate some of the instructor’s time consuming tasks and activities related to their course setup, course execution, and course administration, while at the same time significantly increasing their student in-course engagement?” added, Scott Barnette, EVP of Sales & Marketing at Yellowdig.
