ampEducator Reviews

Hi Arjun, thanks for taking the time to review our software! We really appreciate it. For bulk updating student grades there is an option to import the student grades from a CSV file. If you would like to contact us and start a ticket with [email protected] we would be happy to help you with this function. Best, Jamie.

Hi David!

Thanks for the review! I agree that when it comes to reports we still have work to do even though we do have a lot of built-in reporting tools.

One of the issues we face is that we work with many schools from around the world that do so many specific things and are governed by different rules it's nearly impossible to have a "standard" set of reports. Having said that we are working towards having some "standards" based on type of institution and region. A really good example is tax forms - in Canada the T2202A tax form is completely different than the 1098T tax form in the USA. While we can do both it still involves some work depending on how your staff track financials, etc.

Anyway, as you know with all the work we are doing for you it's good to know at least there is a solution for pretty much any situation you can throw at us!

Thanks again, looking forward to continue making ampEducator even better with your help!

Hey Pauline!

I also have a love/hate relationship with ampEducator :) that is so funny!

Since we got started back in 2010 with you specifically I can remember so many times going back and forth for hours sorting out ideas and issues with you and the development team. While we have come a long way with all that we still have so much work to do! We have always done our best to address any ideas, bugs or concerns that you have brought to us and it is because of users like yourself over the years helping us improve that someday we will reach our goal of becoming "the most affordable, fully featured campus management system in the world".

Now that we got that mission statement plug in there - I just wanted to say again that you are awesome and thanks again for putting up with us in those earlier years Pauline!

Hi Patrick,

It's hard for clients to find time to review so thanks so much for doing it!

While we have made efforts to build in reporting tools all over the place in the software we know it's not there yet. We're going to be adding some new section Dashboard reports that may help in Spring 2017. Custom reports for a small fee may be the only way to go for now if you need things to be exactly a certain way. We do provide that as an option as a last resort. If you have any request please let us know of course!

Best,

Hi Jamie,

Yes, that could have been the issue. I know I have been clicking on Update Details but I'm not the only one updating Professor's information.

Thanks for looking into this! We'll definitely send in tickets if we see any more issues.

Thanks!

With blue Eagle pride,
David

Thanks so much for the review Chris! We really appreciate the feedback and support over the years. We're working hard to release new features in the coming months to make things even easier to tailor to your needs. If you have any specific requests please let us know!

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the review! We really appreciate it!

We have come a long way since 2010 when we got started with you. While we do have planned feature updates internally it's true that when clients urgently need feature(s) to be added as soon as possible (whether we had planned or not) we offer to let them pay for priority rather than wait until the planned release (where technically possible). We do we share the benefits of the added feature(s) with everyone using ampEducator because that's just the way the platform works but you also get the same benefit from all other clients around the world that also do this. This is why we only do custom work that will benefit everyone using ampEducator. The pooling of resources based on real world needs together since 2009 has allowed us to save money and then pass those savings back to you in lower monthly fees or the "best bang for the buck!" to quote one of our best clients :)

Thanks again!

Hey Sharon,

As one of our long term clients we really appreciate you guys! Those early years with ampEducator were a real learning curve for us to say the least.

We're in the process of developing a full manual which can be found on the website here http://ampeducator.com/manual_start.php and while it is not completed yet this will also be supplemented with how to videos currently in production as well. We also encourage you to review the blog.ampeducator.com as well!

We have plans to include documents with course templates for this Spring 2017. It's part of a broader update that is happening right now and that feature requires some other things to happen first.

I will email you directly to discuss the improvements to reports coming up. If there is something else you need please let me know.

Thanks again for the feedback!

Hi Emilia, Thanks for taking the time to post this! We have plans to add new features to the "More Actions" also known as "Bulk Options" for ampEducator. I'm not sure if you knew this or not but you currently can bulk import grades using an excel template?I will contact you directly about this and we can discuss any suggestions you have to improve. This type of feedback is how ampEducator was built over the last 10 years and is greatly appreciated! Thanks again, Jamie.

Hi Harmony!

Thanks for the review! We really appreciate it. Pretty much anything you can think of can be achieved with our Custom Reports option in ampEducator when the built-in reporting tools don't do exactly what you want. Occasionally, (depending on how complicated the custom report queries are) we have to make database changes and that can break a custom report we have built for you in the past. We've taken steps to ensure that doesn't happen anymore by tracking custom reports better but anything is still possible so please let us know asap if you get an error status running any custom reports. As for Lates not always working I assume this is with a custom report and not the built-in attendance tools but I will email you directly and you can confirm what you are seeing so we can resolve it for you.

Thanks again!

Happy New Year! Thanks for the review! We really appreciate any feedback. It's been a challenge to develop a User Interface (UI) that is easy to use when ampEducator has so many advanced features - depending on your assigned User Role in ampEducator you can disable and not see a lot of features if you are not using them. This may help to make things a little less cluttered - please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks again! Jamie

Hi Ken,
