What's Next for 2022: Product Roadmap

January 7, 2022

Explore our 2021 Year in Review for a full recap of our top 21 ManageBac releases. Throughout the past year, our Team worked to apply your insights & feedback together with the community of ManageBac schools and our Pamoja colleagues to improve your Teaching & Learning experience. With the All New Design across Web & Mobile, supporting Pamoja on ManageBac, and integrating your teaching & learning journey with AssessPrep, Oxford Study Courses, Study & Presentation Mode and much more! As we look forward to 2022, we are excited to share our product roadmap and some of the key features we are working on to make your ManageBac experience even better:

All IB DP Teachers know the refrain "I have 3 other Deadlines due this week?" With our new Student modals, Teachers now finally have real-time visibility at-a-glance with Homeroom Attendance & Excusals, a Workload Indicator showing the number of summative tasks across classes, and their current class & room location according to timetables. (Shipped Jan 2022)

Our new Home Menu will complete our All New Design metamorphosis for Students, Parents & Teachers. With a 'Less is More' approach and one-click navigation, the new Home Menu will provide greater personalisation and ease of use for all users. We will continue our efforts towards simplicity and reinforcing clarity of focus. (Shipped March 2022)

Improving Student & Parent <> Teacher Communication has been a longstanding request, we are delighted to be introducing Direct Messaging across Classes, Year Groups and Groups. With one-click, Students can directly message Teachers with text or audio messages (a la WhatsApp and vice-versa for Teachers & Parents). Built with safety in mind, we have implemented Chat in a way unlike any other with Child Safeguarding. (Coming Soon 2022)

Across CAS, Project-based Learning, Portfolios & Messages, our new rich-text editor provides a smooth Maker experience. Drag'n'drop and expanded media options with built-in drawing & photo editing. Boost your students with built-in Learner Profile, ATL Skills Badges and Emojis. (Coming Soon 2022)

With our new Passport, you have everything you need for IB DP & CP, all in one place! With a full pre-built IB DP curriculum building on Pamoja's 12-years of innovation in online learning, OSC Study's all-in-one revision including flash cards, video tutorials, revision guides and IB past exam papers across 10 subjects, and AssessPrep for your online assessments & mock exams. You will have everything you need to support your IB DP programme. (Shipped March 2022)

Our new IB eCoursework Dashboards will help to further streamline your submissions experience. With full IA coverage across all Subject groups, you can directly fill in required moderation & comments directly alongside Predicted Grades. ManageBac always has your back with built-in IA forms along with pre-filled student name, school code, candidate session numbers and more! (Coming Soon 2022)

Building on the momentum of Mobile iOS, we will be extending ManageBac for Mac OS to run perfectly as a Desktop App, and introducing our first Chrome extension Bookmarklet to allow Students & Teachers to easily save Resources anywhere, anytime. (Coming Soon 2022)

Improving the Academic Year Rollover experience for Admins & Tech Directors to make your Transitioning Years smoother than ever. Together with refined Settings with All New Design. (Coming Soon 2022)

For our Tech Directors, we are working hard to extend Clever, OneRoster and a host of new integrations to improve Demographic and Class Roster sync from your SIS into ManageBac and to provide ManageBac to Google Classroom sync. Contact our School Tech & Integrations Director to learn more and join our Discord to continue the discussion. (Coming Soon 2022)
