Having clearly outlined expectations and knowing what their current level of performance is are key indicators to students that could help them excel in the classroom, so the 'Overshot' app is focused on this data and more.
The app works by offering students more control over their performance by offering rich data pertaining to their grades, behavior, attendance and more. This allows students to pinpoint areas where they are excelling or where they need to improve on a consistent basis rather than waiting for a term report to find out.
The 'Overshot' app addresses the increasingly digitized world that students are learning in and helps to gamify the feedback process to encourage a stronger sense of accountability for them and their classroom experience.
