Cognia™ Observations: Two powerful tools in one convenient app. Independent use of the two tools helps educators gather data to develop classroom insights, drive meaningful conversations between school leaders and teachers, and deliver effective strategies for student success. The Effective Learning Environments Observation Tool® (eleot®) is a dynamic classroom observation tool that focuses on what truly matters—student engagement. The eleot addresses seven key learning environments that promote effective learning and student success: • Equitable learning • High expectations • Supportive learning • Active learning • Progress monitoring and feedback • Well-managed learning • Digital learning The Teacher Observation Tool promotes progress toward ever more-effective teaching. Strengthen instructional practices with short, formative observations focusing on teacher behaviors that support learner-centric classrooms. Use the Cognia Observations app to: • Conduct observations online or offline and take notes as you go • Upload offline observations later when internet access is available • Receive immediate access to a PDF copy of an observation • Create and distribute detailed reports of observations from the Desktop App Admin Panel • Create, view, and manage observations at the system level and for associated institutions
Does not work
When I open the application it does not move beyond the eel come screen. Really disappointing for such a large company and so many end users.
Crashed
Got one observation done and it crashes. Defeated it and tried to reinstall but doesn’t seem to want to play
Screen Orientation
The app will not orient the screen to landscape to make the keyboard useful on the iPad.
Landscape
Limiting the app to portrait on the iPhone could be plausible, but to limit this on the iPad is preposterous. Please fix with an update as quickly as possible.
Doesn't work
This version of the app is not currently working on any of my devices. When it was working last week it was weird on both the iPad and the phone as it will not longer orient to the landscape setting. Also while rating areas sometimes the numbers do not show up so you have to go back and rate multiple times.
Screen Orientation
With the 1/15/17 update you cannot change the screen orientation. Makes using a keyboard with an iPad pointless. Forced to use keyboard on the iPad itself.
Lit Spclst
New update is awkward on iPad with keyboard. The horizontal view is not available and we can no longer choose to send the observation to the principal's email with the teacher name in the name slot. The app makes the email address the teacher name. As a district employee and not a building one, I prefer to send observations to the principal and not the teacher who may not know me.
