Good day everyone! I was hoping to look for a few ideas to help me implement a system for my students online. I haven't had much luck so far finding a way to do this online without spending a lot of money.
Here's what I want to create. I would like to create a list of skills for each of my students. I would like them to be able to go online, log in to something, and see what skills they have accomplished, and what skills they still can work on. I prefer for this to be private, where students can't look at other student's skills, but if it had to be public I could manage. On the back end, I would like to be able to both edit what skills they have accomplished, and edit the list of skills themselves for all students with a minimum of work.
Here's what makes this hard. I am a school teacher, and I have basically no budget. I need to be able to do this for free, with the resources I already have available. I have Microsoft Access, for example, and I could do this with it, except that it wasn't designed to be accessible online. I haven't figured out a way to do it in google docs without creating individual pages for each student, and that means if I change the list of skills I would have to change each page individually for 100+ students.
I looked at Zoho creater, but their free version only allows 2 users, so the resulting application would have to be public for my students (one user would be me, the other would be a login for my students). Admittedly, Zoho creater is a little intimidating to me after looking at it for 20 minutes or so, as well.
I have edmodo, a weebly website, a computer, Microsoft Office, and a willingness to learn.
Suggestions? Thoughts? Help? I know this is a smart community
