Los Altos, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/28/2015 -- Canary Learning announces the immediate availability of its grading tool, CanaryGrading. Now, along with handing out and collecting assignments, teachers can also grade student work, all within one seamless platform. Like all components in the Canary Learning platform, CanaryGrading is fully functional even when no network connection is available, allowing teachers the freedom and mobility to grade at their convenience.

CanaryGrading takes aim at the classic red pen for grading, allowing teachers to annotate directly on student work, but then adds innovative, gesture-based features as well as auto-tabulation support to reduce teacher grading time.

Some of the revolutionary features in CanaryGrading include:

- Auto-tabulated student scores: As teachers mark up the student's work, quizzes or tests, the grades are automatically tabulated and stored in Canary Learning's included gradebook.

- Frequently used comments: Every comment that a teacher types is recorded for reuse when grading future assignments. Comments are also recorded for each specific assignment, making future grading of the same assignment dramatically faster.

- Multi-document support: Students can submit multiple documents or even multiple revisions of a document over time where they can then all be graded together in the grading tool, streamlining the review process.

- Integrated workflow: Trigger student resubmission requests or message them directly without ever leaving the grading flow.

"CanaryGrading was built to decrease the time teachers spend in the evening and on weekends grading papers, without reducing the essential feedback that teachers provide students. Feedback is important. Feedback helps us learn as individuals, it helps us improve our products as a business, and it is critical in the growth and development of our children." says David Vogt, Chief Technical Officer, Canary Learning.

CanaryGrading is included free with every Canary Learning account, and built into the native iOS application. And like all Canary Learning features, it is available offline so that teachers can work where and when they want – just like with a red pen and highlighter!

Los Altos, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/16/2015 -- Canary Learning announced its new teacher collaboration tool, CanaryShare. Canary Learning is the maker of the classroom workflow and collaboration tool, CanaryFlow. CanaryShare is available both in the iOS CanaryFlow application and on any browser.

CanaryShare provides teachers the opportunity to work in five distinctly different ways:

- Teachers-aides: Aides and classroom volunteers can login into their own devices to see students, lessons and materials for a class, allowing them to help grade papers or walk students through assignments without the ability to change any of the materials.

- Substitute teachers: Share a class with a short-term substitute to provide access to scheduled lessons and the ability to collect and grade homework. Substitutes can even push a due date to tomorrow, but they won't be able to alter the course materials or the class schedule. With one button, the substitute can be unshared, ensuring that none of the classroom data leaves with the substitute.

- Co-curriculum development: Enables teachers to share courses with their teams, allowing each teacher equal opportunity to mark up, change and adjust course curriculum.

- Co-teaching: Both teachers can access and edit course material as well as view all the students in class. Teachers can split grading responsibilities and interact with students. Teachers share a common workflow providing visibility into student behavior on days they are not in class, allowing for a seamless handoff between teachers.

- Centralized content distribution: A curriculum director or a department chair can create and share centralized content repositories that are automatically visible to all shared users. Teachers can seamlessly pull content from the repository into their courses.

"This is the first tool of its kind." Says David Vogt, Chief Technical Officer, Canary Learning. "With a single click teachers can securely collaborate with substitutes, aides and collogues. Equally important, class and student data can be unshared just as easily, ensuring security of student data. This transcends file and folder sharing – it's about working together, not sharing files."

CanaryShare is the latest enterprise feature of CanaryFlow, but teachers who create a free CanaryFlow account before October 15th will get access to CanaryShare at no cost for the 2015/16 school year. Click here to sign up
