Smile, You’re on Photo Class List

March 27, 2009

Hot on the heels of the launch of Web Gradebook, another new tool—Photo Class List—based on the Student Web Services initiative has arrived. Instructors can now generate a list of students in their classes that includes photos. Try it yourself through the “Teaching” tab of MyUW: .

“I found it early, and it’s one of the very best developments in a long time. What a huge difference it makes! Thanks so much to all  those who worked on this project!” June, Professor (Tacoma campus)

“I just ran into a colleague from Genome Sciences — she had the photos in hand and said this would save her 2-3 hours of time as she used to have to take and compile all the photos for her class by herself!  She was ecstatic to have the 2-3 hours to do other things!” Mary, Senior Lecturer

“I just discovered a new feature in the “myuw” class information panel… Under the “class list” links for my spring classes there are little icons that open a page with photos of all the students registered for the class. It’s very similar to what we have in-house for majors enrolled in our courses, but it works for all students and for non-majors courses.” Hal, Senior Lecturer

“Thanks for this wonderful innovation, at last… (There are many of us on campus who have been requesting this for a long time.)” Mariko, Undergraduate Advisor

“I am in love with the new feature where one can see the students’ names with their faces. This was the best idea ever and it’s really going to help me engage with my students. Thank you.”

Web GradeBook taking off

March 19, 2009

Since its launch March 2, nearly 10,000 grades have been submitted via Web GradeBook—that’s more than twice the number submitted via the paper process. Keep them coming!

We’ll keep a list of feedback from the University community here, and include attribution where appropriate.

“I am not sure where to direct this appreciation, but I wanted to let those know who were involved in creating the electronic grading system just how valuable it is and how much appreciated. It is an extremely significant innovation for me given my travel schedule and the difficulty I experienced in submitting paper-based grade reports. The new GradeBook system is more evidence to me that I belong to a great university. Please extend my thanks and appreciation to the right people and program for the hard work that resulted in this accomplishment.”
