Schoology

Integrated Learning Management System

Opmerkingen: Overall Schoology is going to allow for better implementation of curriculum as an online and hybrid option during this COVID19 pandemic.

Pluspunten:

Schoology integrates seemlessly into our district as we already use Powerschool so it will make it an easy transition for teachers into online learning.

Minpunten:

The interface and mobile app could use a interface update to make it a little more friendly and easy to navigate.

Schoology Review

Pluspunten:

Schoology makes it easy to create, share and manage classroom activities. This software is awesome for remote learning and has been a part of the education system even before online teaching/learning rose to prominence. The platform has many great features, the assessment creation option as well as a calendar for keeping students updated are very practical tools. The user interface is pretty easy to get a hang of and students find it very easy to navigate the space.

Minpunten:

The platform itself does not have many flaws however the mobile version does tend to crash occasionally even during assessments.

Schoology Regular Usage Review

Opmerkingen: My overall experience with Schoology was satisfactory.

Pluspunten:

I honestly did not like this software, it does what it's supposed to do but just not to my capacity.

Minpunten:

There are a lot of things I don't like about this app, they're all functionality and UI related though. The software gets what it's supposed to get done.

Wonderful Course Management Platform

Opmerkingen: My overall experience with Schoology has been fantastic, and I would definitely recommend it to other instructors who are willing to give it a try.

Pluspunten:

What I like most about Schoology is its ability to allow the instructor to compile all necessary course information into one easy-to-use online portal. Via this portal, I am able to create and post assignments, mark down due dates, grade the aforementioned assignments, among a plethora of other essential tasks, such as attendance tracking, progress report generation, and managing regrade requests. I am also able to communicate with students directly through the portal, which is great just in case the students want to keep their personal email addresses private. Lastly, customer service is very friendly, convenient, and helpful any time I need them, (which is infrequent, as the platform lives up to its expectations on a regular basis without any mishaps, which is fantastic, especially for efficiency's sake).

Minpunten:

There is honestly very little that I dislike about Schoology, as it really does help me manage my classroom in an efficient manner, eliminating all of the hassle I was occasionally confronted with prior to my implementation of the platform, (the same applies to the students' perspectives on the matter, according to a mini-survey I provided them with). With all that being said, however, if I were to choose one aspect which could be further improved upon, it would be the performance of the app on both Apple and Android devices. I occasionally receive complaints from students pertaining to random crashes of the app, assignments not being able to be submitted, and various other technical issues. I must add that these issues are rare, but it would be nice if they could be eliminated in their entirety. Other than that, there is really not much else I can report as being a negative.

Love Schoology for Courses!
