    I´d like an Ipad (and Andriod?) app which allows the teacher to combine a calendar of choice, class/group lists, viewing/taking absence, assessing "on the fly", sending messages/mail/SMS and notetaking. Sharing options on the notetaking. Maybe also include an easy way of creating simple tests for collecting evidence about learning or to increase student involvement (a varient of the current tool).

    For whom do we solve a problem :
    Teachers who would like a seamless solution to use in the classroom, allowing for very simple classroom assessment, immediate access to absence, taking notes that are stored in the LMS for student and/or teacher access and documentation of formative assessment. This saves time and makes useful information more easily available (teacher can cary device around when talking to students, making notes, checking previous assessments and absence on the spot. Notes can be filed for student or teacher only view. Students get more immediate and frequent feedback.

    Why solve this problem? :
    Because useful features in ItsLearning are made more available in a portable format. Adding notes about what happens in the classroom is time consuming when it has to be done after class. Accessing data stored in ItsLearning can be very useful, but carrying a laptop around and navigating the regular interface is cumbersome in the classroom. Assessment for learning is well catered for wich such a solution because it is easier both to collect and record information about student involvement and learning, and to make use of that information in the classroom. An app will allow for selecting only some of the features of the LMS, providing a cleaner interface and easier use.
