Stop Double-Entry and just Grade Once!

In February 2022 I started work on a project to reduce double-entry for teachers in my district. The project was ready for limited deployment by Spring. In 2023-2024 more than 150 teachers are using a Chrome Extension that I built and I have been contacted by external districts seeking to share it with their teachers as well.

The code for the extension project is in a public github repository at nphershm/grade-once. The extension allows a teacher to fetch outcome scores for any assignment in their Canvas course, view those scores in a more efficient way than is available in Canvas, and then paste scores into the Synergy Standards Based Gradebook. The paste verifies a student-id match for each score transfered.

Code edits would be required for teachers in other districts to use the extension, I am interested in working with you to make edits and provide on-going support.

If your district uses Canvas and Standards Based Gradebook in Synergy I can customize an extension to support your teachers.

What would it look like to work on this together?

In order to make sure that the extension works as intended in your district environment, here is a rough sketch of the work we could partner on.

Project Outline

Initial Meeting

Discuss project scope, system access, score types, training.

Development & Testing

I will write a custom branch of the project and ensure that score types transfer as expected.

Delivery

Extension is provided to you ready to go. Consider your options for distributing it to teachers.

Ongoing Support

Responding to questions or inquiries. Providing code updates to fix bugs.
