Question 13:
What additional tools or processes would you like in a course management system?
Responses
- assignments with grades over 100 points - have students acknowledge that they have
received and read class announcement or grading rubrics file before moving onto the
assignments - get rid of the "grey out" students who are not in the class. it is confu
24/7 technical support for students
Ability to change layout; more interaction ability; video feedback and bandwidth to upload
videos
ability to import Turnitin grades to Catalyst
Ability to upload videos, a flexible layout for materials. But it is not so much lacking tools but
how non-intuitive the use of existing tools is.
Access to utilize what best works for instructional delivery... Not simply catalyst...
Be able to use colors; an easier to insert images.
Better interface for correcting and commenting on student papers. Should be able to upload
a rubric and attach it when you write back too.
Canvas Online program
Gradebook that is easier to set up.
I mainly want a CMS that is intuitive and easy for students to use. That said, I've worked with
a variety of them and every single one has had things I really enjoy about them that the
others didn't, and things that made them difficult to work with.
I need additional examples, instruction and tutoring.
I would like it to be easier for students to upload documents to Catalyst. I am not sure why it
is hard for some to do that, but every term there are some who do not succeed.
I would like to archive and retrieve my classes myself, no need to submit a request. The
current system with a development site and a production site is complicated and creates a
bottleneck.
Identity recognition and cheating prevention for online testing.
Integration of social media and aps, mobile friendly
Just using Catalyst for assignments for an in class course
Link to the school outlook email account so we can communicate with students directly.
love catalyst! Every new version amazes me. Not sure how it can be improved more
