Homework
Hero Version 2.0 Now Available
Some of you may know that schools who have signed up for
Homework
Hero since January 2003 are using an upgraded version of
our software.
The most important features of the new software are (1)
there is
an automatic password retrieval feature for teachers who
lose or forget
passwords, and (2) users can directly upload images from
their
computers to be placed on an assignment page. There are
also a few
minor improvements, including an option to reformat
pages for printing,
and correction of a glitch that occurred when a user
placed quotation
marks in a course title.
Otherwise, the look and feel of the new Homework Hero is
much like
that of the old.
Unfortunately, databases for the old and new software
are not
completely compatible --- upgrading requires a
reconstruction
of your site and a database conversion. Also, all
teacher passwords
need to be reset with an upgrade. For that reason, I
have not
encouraged upgrades during the school year.
Site managers who are are interested in switching to the
new version
may want to make the switch now. If you
switch, it will be
necessary for me to charge a onetime $25 set-up fee per
school (or,
$25 per database for schools with separate departmental
groupings)
to cover costs of converting. Switching versions is NOT
mandatory --
if you are happy with your current Homework Hero set-up
and
operation, just leave it as it is.
Please have your school site manager Contact
Us if your school is
interested in upgrading.
