Tailor with your terminology. Even pre-configure teacher gradebooks and assessments with preferred grading and reporting defaults.

Create and re-use online tests with a variety of question types, many with automatic grading. Grades appear in the gradebook. Can be used for traditional quizzes, exit ticket or student reflection and can be performed via web browser or mobile app.
Assign different assessments to subsets of students as desired.
Parents receive their own accounts, tied to their children’s, as a window into their achievement. They see learning evidence of younger children curated by their teacher, incl. photos, videos, lesson plans or videos of class interactions. Information is real time, not a periodic email abstract.
It’s a little thing teachers love! When creating a new assessment, Edsby can recommend the best due date and time after searching the calendars of students in the class for events, other assessments, planned absences or other potential conflicts.
Edsby's user-friendly interface and support made the transition easy for our staff. Sales and engineering worked closely with us to make sure all aspects of the environment met our needs in every way.

Edsby's gradebook and report writing are big wins. They make paperwork efficient, and for me that means more face-to-face time with students and more time to be creative with lessons.

The Edsby gradebook gets an A. I like that there are options for students to have digital assignments. I've had many parents tell me how easy it is to keep track of student grades.
