Comprehensive Evaluation of an Educational Information Management Solution for Parents: MyStudentScope

Existing electronic student information systems used by schools were designed from the perspective of the educators or students, not the parents. Parents and caregivers have challenges optimizing their use of information regarding their children’s education (Matthews and Feng 2017). To address this challenge, we developed MyStudentScope (MSS), a web portal that aims at assisting parents in managing information regarding their children’s education. MSS has four primary functions to aid its users in accessing and analyzing collected data: monitoring, retrieving, communication and decision making (Matthews et al. 2018a).
