SpacesEDU 1.23.0

SpacesEDU offers a comprehensive solution for educators and students to document, communicate, and appreciate academic progress in and outside the classroom. Drawing on over 15 years of educator feedback, SpacesEDU Portfolio-Based Assessment (PBA) tools empower teachers to assign tasks, gather evidence of learning in various formats, evaluate student proficiency against standards and competencies, and generate visual progress reports.

Through SpacesEDU, the assessment process develops into an interactive dialogue. Students can inquire, receive feedback from teachers, engage in peer review, and present their work authentically and flexibly - all within the SpacesEDU app itself.

Real-time feedback on student assignments can be provided through in-app commenting and messaging functionalities.

Adopt SpacesEDU for your classroom today to provide students with a dedicated environment for learning, development, and narrative construction around their academic achievements.
