Replacement for DataDirector Illuminate second generation of DataDirector with major flaws fixed Shows only current students – not students no longer rostered to a teacher Can search for students by date (past, present, future) Intuitive and robust The GradeCam will be used for scanning district assessments not given online Easy to give and score exit surveys/slips with GradeCam
Works with the 860 Samsung doc cameras Works with the integrated camera on the teacher tablets Does not work with 850DX cameras. The GradeCam company has provided free, inexpensive document cameras that can be used for scanning Illuminate answer sheets. The doc cam needs to be connected to teacher tablet with a USB cable IT has pushed GradeCam plugin or install within Illuminate (screenshots coming up…)
Browsers Firefox version 17 or later (should be pushed out already) If not, refer to the instructions on sandi.net/illuminatesandi.net/illuminate Chrome (Illuminate’s preferred browser) Safari (Macs) Can’t use iPads for scanning because the GradeCam plugin can’t be installed
