DragonTeach is a learning system to create efficiency for instructors and a better learning experience for students. The initial build was while I was an instructor at Sheridan College where it allowed us to improve our marking efficiency by 1000%. The current system at https://www.dragonteach.com/ is a completely redesigned and rebuilt system from the original allowing automated assessments, and webspace setups for students. Its built on WordPress, so, you can also have any feature/functions plugins and themes will give you. The goal is to reduce instructor marking time and improve student comprehension and engagement.
- Students easily get a webspace by accessing the form on their instructor’s DragonTeach site.
- The instructors can build a presence using their own WordPress site. Connect the students together with BBPress plugin, or anything else
- Students are grouped in a class, instructors can view marks or administer the student’s WP (i.e. reset passwords, run WP-CLI commands.
- Students have an online tester to check the labs or assignments (controllable by the instructor) to make sure they are on the right track.
