Assess with Evidence Me

Evidence Me is our award-winning assessment, observation and reporting app. This year it won the ERA award for Primary Resource or Equipment - Tools for leadership, management and assessment!

It shows the impact of children’s learning by capturing learners’ experiences, monitoring their development and creating reports to share their progress. The app has been thoughtfully created by teachers, for teachers and ensures all the essential features required have been included. In a nutshell, Evidence Me offers fully CAPS aligned assessment on the go with a dedicated Parent app to keep the parent in the know regarding their child's development.

Even though the Assessment criteria uploaded on the app fully align with the CAPS curriculum, there is the facility to upload your own assessment criteria and framework. So the teacher will be able to tailor their assessment plan based on what outcomes they are looking to achieve.

Here are 5 reasons you should try out Evidence me;

Reporting and assessment 
Our reporting has been designed to be as effortless as possible because we know how time-consuming reporting can be. Because it is mobile, it is there when you need it! Your teachers can simply load the app on a pad or phone and report on the child's performance on the spot. Take a photo of a physical activity or drawing, make a note about something anecdotal that happened in class, or even report on the child's social interaction at break. Using in-app assessment data, teachers can track, evidence and support their classes’ learning with a variety of reports, including an Individual Framework Progress and Coverage Report, a Flightpath Report and a Teach Next Report. Completed reports are stored not only on the app but on the websuite too, giving teachers the ability to collate past reports for as long as their license is active. To make reporting and assessments even better, these can be easily exported in a range of different formats.

Share observations 
In a classroom or nursery school setting, there will often be more than one person responsible for capturing observations. Evidence Me ensures that any observations are instantly updated on the learners’ profiles across multiple devices within the same school setting. This feature saves teachers’ time by ensuring that multiple observations are not made of one child doing the same activity, and also updating and suggesting the next objective to capture.

Reduce teacher workload 
Gone are the days of Post-It Notes, ring binders and scrapbooks for evidencing learning. Evidence Me has been designed to significantly reduce workload for teachers. You can easily take a photo, a video or write a note and it will instantly upload your observation to the app whilst on the go, with or without WiFi. With Evidence Me, teachers will be able to consistently form quality formative assessments whilst simultaneously saving themselves hours of record-keeping time.

Auto suggesting of next step objectives
Auto suggesting of objectives is another great time-saving feature. When setting up Evidence Me, you can upload your preferred framework from ECD to Intersen Phase, or even upload a custom framework. Once an observation has been captured, the auto-suggesting tool will recommend the objectives and next step objectives based on the teacher’s notes from the observation.

Dedicated parent app
Lastly, our new dedicated parent app can be used for two-way communication between parents and teachers to share information in real-time. Teachers retain control over what is shared with the parents, and any shared observations are sent instantly to the parent app. Parents can comment on the observation and create their own by adding media and notes, before sending this back to the teacher to view without the need for emails or logging onto the websuite. It’s the perfect way for parents to be updated on their child’s progress and learning journey.
