Couloir Software has designed a special product that will change the way students, parents and educators interact.  The product offers genuine value to parents, teachers, and school administrators.  The product is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2010.

 

School-assignment is a set of applications that work together to increase parental involvement. School-assignment gives the parents a mechanism to get involved.  School-assignment solves this by providing a mechanism to track progress.  These are some of the valuable features that school-assignment.com offers to the various stakeholders in the educational process:

Curriculum design - School-assignment allows teachers to design lesson plans, and maintain them, as changes are required.  Lesson plans become tangible assets that can be reviewed, modified, and stored.

Teacher collaboration - School-assignment allows multiple teachers to collaborate to create lesson plans.  A teacher assigned to teach a new subject can benefit from the work of previous teachers.

Homework assignments - Teachers can more easily determine which students are doing their homework.  Students can more easily determine what their assignments are, and receive more feedback when completing them.  Parents can determine what homework has been assigned, and can confirm to the teacher that the assignment has been completed.

Learning flexibility – Students are able to get the assignments necessary to continue their studies, when they are not able to attend school for whatever reason (vacation, illness, etc).

Admin edition - School administrators use this edition to setup and manage the curriculum, and monitor activity.  Administrators benefit from more organized lesson plans providing more flexibility in teacher assignments.

Teacher edition - Teachers use this edition to design and manage lesson plans, assign homework, and to monitor student progress.  Teachers benefit from being able to focus attention on under-performing students, and to tailor assignments for the more gifted students.

Parental guardian edition - Parental guardians use this edition to monitor student work.  Increased parental involvement is the key to a better educational environment.  Parents can receive direct communication from teachers regarding student performance.  This parental feedback is critical for all students, regardless of ability.

Student edition - Students use this edition to retrieve their assignments, and to mark them as complete.  Students are able to communicate to teachers during off hours.  In a later version, students will be able to communicate to each other in a forum.
