We’ve been making good progress on our loosely coupled gradebook project here at BYU. I’m posting a link to our working specifications document for review and comment.

The broad purposes of the project are to develop a web-based gradebook that will provide:

• Integration our course management system(s)
• Integration with our high-stakes proctored testing environment
• Multiple “on-ramps” (integration points with other tools, systems and web 2.0 apps) for faculty to input and retrieve student performance measures
• Easy importing and exporting of data
• Flexible grade calculation
• Direct interface with our student information system for grade posting

This is a key component of our larger open learning network strategy.

Feel free to review our specifications document and let us know what you think.
