Taskstream for Students

What is Taskstream?

Taskstream/Learning Achievement Tools (TS/LAT) is a dynamic web-based software program designed to enhance the communication between students and faculty concerning coursework and other degree requirements.  TS/LAT also collects field assessment requirements and manages critical assessment data related to NCATE/CAEP accreditation.  All GSEHD students enrolled in NCATE/CAEP accredited programs are required to create an e-Portfolio in TS/LAT. 

Taskstream allows students to upload assignments from each core course in their program of study, and submit that assignment for evaluation.  It also allows faculty to evaluate students’ assignment and to create standards-based lesson plans, evaluation rubrics, and entire instructional units.

Students are required to use Taskstream to upload and submit assignments for courses that have key NCATE/CAEP assessments. Students must put their key assignments (or portfolio) in Taskstream in a time-frame that allows faculty to evaluate assignments prior to the e-grade deadline. Student course grades will not be finalized until assignments have been evaluated on Taskstream.
