Universities Using CORE by PeopleGrove
There are a lot of valuable features, but I use hours tracking the most consistently throughout the semester. For example, our sophomore and juniors log their experiences within CORE by PeopleGrove. I can easily see who logged their hours and how many hours they’ve done to make sure the students are progressing. I can pull up the report of their progress within seconds! The students also embrace the comment section to tell me about their experiences. I think that has definitely saved time!
