PolyLearn is a web based classroom management software, used by California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo. It is developed on top of an open source platform called Moodle. PolyLearn provides functionality for teachers to post links and information to students, open up forums for dialogue, administer quizzes, collect assignments, and post grades.

Overall, PolyLearn provides a fair amount of functionality, however it lacks in features regarding its grading platform.

Good Features:

• additional functionality on top of just grades
• ability to subdivide grades into different sections
• an all-in-one platform for teachers to manage their classes

Bad Features:

• file size limits
• teachers rarely choose to use the grading functionality
• grades lack in statistical information
• forums default to sending emails to all students for every action performed on that forum
• poor formatting on the feedback portion of the grading system
• not very mobile friendly

Missing Features:

• ability for students to browse historical grade trends
• ability for students to ask "what if" questions about their grades
• unrestricted subdivision of grading categories
• graphical input for grade adjustment
• full featured statistics about grades for all assignments
