πŸ”— New Features Coming to Noteflight Learn's SoundCheck Integration

My school district purchased us some music tech services for use in our online classes this fall. I have been meaning to write at more length about Noteflight Learn and Soundtrap, but I am still getting my heels into the ground with them. Both services take time to learn how they are effective in practice, not to mention there are a lot of quirks with how they integrate with our learning management software, Canvas.

I did want to highlight some upcoming features to Noteflight Learn, specifically regarding their new SoundCheck integration which launched this past summer. My district purchased the SoundCheck integration which means that I can give Noteflight scores as assessments where my band students play the notes into the computer and get a score. Some of these forthcoming features are going to save me a lot of headaches and I am glad to see them coming.

Check out the full list in the blog post below from John Mlynczak. I have quoted some of my favorites.

SoundCheck Check One Two:

New Features Coming Soon

We are working on several new features to be made available ASAP. In the coming weeks, here is what you will see:

- The SoundCheck assessment rating will be automatically added to grade book of your own LMS, including Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, Powerschool, Brightspace, Blackboard, Moodle, and more.

- Students just need to complete their assignment and use the same β€œTurn In” button already available in Noteflight Learn.

- All Content Library scores will include a SoundCheck version that can be used right away. You can always edit a Content Library score and create your own SoundCheck version as well.

And the cherry on top for this iPad-loving, late-night, couch worker:

- iOS functionality. SoundCheck currently does not work in the browser on iOS.

πŸŽ™ #13 - Exploring Noteflight Learn, with John Mlynczak

John Mlynczak returns to the show to discuss Noteflight's new integration with Sound Check and offers advice to educators about teaching online this fall, and what we can learn from it.

Noteflight Learn offers direct Google Classroom integration! All student and teacher logins, classes, and assignments are seamlessly integrated, offering several advantages:

β€’ Google login is automatically synced; simply login to Noteflight Learn using Google.

β€’ Individual classes, schools, or entire districts can integrate with a single Noteflight Learn site.
