Standards Based Grading: Technological Momentum's Impact (STS Research Paper) 5 views

This project aims to address a number of systemic issues in grading technologies. Current systems fail to give instructors insight into the effectiveness of their teaching, and restricts them to traditional grading structures. If they also cannot advise students on their progress and encourage them to know course material only for the duration of an exam. Student Performance Tracker revolves around classes represented as webs of related topics. Each topic bubble will be assigned a grade based on assignments, related test questions, and grades on prerequisite topics. The (overall) course grade (for each student) will then be an aggregate of their individual topic grades. The visual aspect aims to allow students to easily identify topics in need of improvement and allows instructors to see the progress of individual students as well as the whole class in order to assess instructional success for individual topics and the class as a whole.
