KS Connect is a site for students, parents, and teachers. Students are able to view their grades, course recommendations, and progress reports. Parents are able to view their child’s grades, as well as see any communications from the school bulletin. As for teachers, they are able to view their student rosters, download special files for Blackboard, Google, Edmodo, Turnitin.com, and LAN School. Teachers are then able to upload their grades after using the special file to be exported to their Easy Grade Pro application.
Here is a video on how to use KS Connect to gather student files for the set up of your Easy Grade Pro:
