haiku LMS

Version 4 was launched on Tuesday, August 4. 

What’s in Version 4?

For all users:

• Portal - an aggregated page of information from each of a user’s active classes including Recent Scores, Grades, Announcements, Calendar Events and even custom HTML (for your school specific links and messages).

• Roster Sections – our response to an oft requested method to manage several classes/rosters of students in one Haiku class! Excellent for individualized learning, team teaching or shared curriculum needs.
  Use Sections to:
  
  • Team teach or manage several class rosters, but maintain one set of lesson plans.
  • Associate rosters from other classes, so that when the roster in the other class changes, the roster in this class changes as well.
  • Provide individualized instruction if you have a group of individuals that need different due dates then the rest of the class.
  • Manage separate Class Calendars for different sections of users.

For schools and districts using Haiku LMS there are two additional features:

• Navigation Bar - a speedy shortcut to your users, classes, materials, grades, and more - and it’s available on every page! Teachers can quickly search for Users and Classes. The Navbar also gives users the ability to conveniently access class materials, grades, and other tools across their many classes.

• ePortfolios - Students can track and showcase their work using the Haiku Electronic Portfolios (ePortfolios). They can create learning ePortfolios for reflective assignments, college preparation, and progress requirements. ePortfolios provide an excellent way to improve student communication, mentorship, and assessment.

Ready to give Haiku LMS Version 4 a try?

If you already have a Haiku LMS account you don’t have to do anything except follow the on-screen instructions when you log in to your Haiku class if you want to enable the new features. If you don’t have a Haiku LMS account then you need to create a free account to take Version 4 for a spin. If you represent a school or district, contact us to talk about implementing Haiku LMS.
