Corinne Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Just had the December newsletter forwarded to me (Which for some reason I don't get?) and in there it mentions 'In the new year' so I would guess then? I would like to know about the updates mentioned (sorry to hijack!) but it says: Quote including the ability to use custom mark schemes. New and improved widgets let you do more in sites, including a new homework calendar widget and the ability to manage calendars from a page. Myself and my the head of ICT here would like to know what this means, do custom mark schemes mean he will be able to use A*-U in the assignment manager? And as for the calendar with homework's - does this mean I would be able to embed a calendar onto a dashboard/site and this display each students calendar to them and display homework's? I remember reading something about this a while ago but not sure if that was here or somewhere else like the idea portal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Quince Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hi both, Sorry you've had to wait for the official newsletter, yes, we're hoping / expecting the next release to more or less coincide with BETT, provided testing doesn't cause issues. I've had a chance to play with the Custom Markschemes and they are pretty cool. You can create any markscheme you wish (including A*-U), be able to publish them and unpublish them (so if your SLT decide they want all marking done with a set scale, you can). You will be able to embed a calendar in a dashboard/site (not a students one though :() Although you can use the embed website widget to embed the calendar currently, use this address: yourschoolurl/app/calendar/?view_type=-1 Managing calendars from a page is a Create Event widget, which allows users to add events through a prebuilt form.

Corinne Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 @Graham Quince good to hear about the mark schemes that will be useful. I tried to embed the calendar - does this work with Frog 3/learn or is it just a Frog learn thing? As I got the 'An unexpected error occurred' message when I tried it.
