EDLINEClass instructors use the electronic gradebook, GRADEQUICK to record and report grades. Much of the information in the electronic gradebook is "pushed" out to EDLINE, an online service that allows the student, her parents, her advisor, etc. to view her progress in all of her coursework. The students and parents access the Edline website on the internet and create a username and password that is unique to them. This ensures confidentiality and privacy. Edline has become an invaluable tool for tracking progress and has increased and streamlined communications between parents and instructors. The school's Edline homepage also is an information tool for the school, with the ability to include calendars, events, news postings, messages from the Principal, President, Dean, etc. (www.edline.net)
