The CBC App – working for teachers in 2022

Introducing the CBC App to schools has been a game-changer for both teachers and students. The app’s learner reports feature has been particularly helpful in tracking student progress throughout the term. With this feature, teachers can see how their students perform in class activities and end-term exams, and parents can get an accurate understanding of their child’s academic performance. The app’s ease of use has made a significant impact, with many teachers noting that it has saved them time and made their work much easier.

The CBC App team is continuously working on developing new features to make teaching even more efficient. One such feature that is in the pipeline is Syllabus Coverage, which will transform how teachers plan, assess, and keep records. With more exciting things in the works, the CBC App team is excited to see what 2023 holds in store.
