Grade Pad: performance asssessment for the iPhone

June 2nd, 2009

On Monday, June 1st, GradePad, an iPhone/iPod touch performance assessment tool for teachers and trainers, became available at the iPhone App Store for $1.99.

On Tuesday, it was Jane’s E-Learning Pick of the Day.

Look for a free NECC version on June 28th.

A “Pro Edition”, available on July 4, will include a GradePad.com account so you can share GradePad rubrics, create groups & assessments online, and manage assessment data for tracking and reporting purposes.

With the Standard Edition available now, you can:

  • Manage groups (unlimited number).
  • Create GradePad Rubrics (unlimited number).
  • Assess performance.
  • Track improvement.
  • Share data.

A friend of mine at another e-learning company said today, “The low entry-level price-point and collaborative sharing might make this a real game-changer for observational assessment.”
