Edumate Medical Centre

We are excited to share that Edumate Medical Centre is now operational. Tailored for school staff managing the sickbay, medication, or working in the School Clinic, the Medical Centre offers a centralised Dashboard and a dedicated hub for their daily tasks. The new Edumate Medical Centre builds on some of our existing medical features, many of which have been greatly enhanced. Additionally, it introduces numerous new features essential for today's school environment.

Coming Soon: Canvas Sync II

Our enhanced Canvas sync will send Edumate coursework tasks to Canvas so students can complete and submit them there. Teachers can mark the work in Canvas using rubrics, and both marks/grades and criteria results automatically sync back to Edumate for reporting and archiving.

Product Development Corner

Schools have been looking for a way to let students share their reflections on their coursework and overall progress. This way, these reflections can be included in the formal Academic Reports each reporting period, making the reports more personal and complete.

In response, we’ve created a flexible Student Voice model with two options:

- COURSE Student Voice entries, linked to specific subjects or classes

- SUMMATION Student Voice entries, providing an overall reflection

The Student Portal screen for this process may look like the example shown here. If you have any inputs on this, please don't hesitate to reach out to Greg and share your insights.
