Features

CanDo is an online application that allows teachers and administrators to track student acquisition of competencies during a course. Using a database of competencies which students are expected to acquire, teachers can use CanDo to track and manage student progress in meeting their competency goals.

In order to demonstrate competency acquisition, students are invited to submit proof entries in their CanDo web portfolios. Students go through the competency profile to create links between each competency acquired and the proof entries associated with each competency.

Teachers will then have the possibility of accepting, rejecting or commenting upon the proofs of competency acquisition submitted by the students.

Philosophy

CanDo is a constructivist tool for educators who require students to demonstrate their mastery of skills and competencies, and who need a simple organizational tool to assist them in tracking student progress towards instructional objectives. CanDo uses authentic assessment (student portfolios) and this enables students to take charge of their learning, and enables teachers to focus on effective facilitation, mentoring and scaffolding of student learning.
