Chose Blackboard Learn by Anthology
Blackboard is the all around better fit for our intuition. It provides the "bells and whistles" we require in having a diverse faculty and flexibility in course delivery. The "bells and whistles" aren't cheap, but we have found that budgeting for this large expense has been …
I have used Schoology before, and I think Blackboard Learn has many more features, and is easier to navigate. It is well organized, and easy to customize for each user. Schoology might be better suited for a mobile device, but when the mobile version of Blackboard is not up …
I think Blackboard has become a middle of the pack LMS with more user friendly options like Canvas and Schoology currently available to K-12 schools. While there are many robust features, the typical K-12 teacher and student needs a more user friendly interface and a faster …

Chose Schoology Learning
Schoology is well supported and is easy to use. It might not have all of the features of a larger LMS like Blackboard or Moodle, but that is also what makes it easier to use. It does not have the "scroll of death" that you would experience with Edmodo. Content is organized …
As mentioned before, Schoology has a lot more capabilities than Google Classroom. Granted that Schoology is an actual LMS and Google Classroom is not. Assessments are better; guardian views and information; communication with our Student Information System; Better organization …
Schoology no longer provides all of the features of Canvas for a lower cost. In fact, as someone who now uses both LMSs, at different jobs, I can no longer recommend Schoology as features are disappearing and support has become almost worthless.
Schoology is a blend of most online programs. In areas of assigning work and grading, it does really well. In terms of having an intuitive classroom to navigate, other programs are better.
Although there are other good platforms for managing online classrooms, we did not find these as robust and were not as user-friendly in terms of interface, and their ability to connect to other online education platforms. It is also the best available platform for connecting …
Schoology is a much more user friendly platform. It provides teachers and students the platform to work together. To name a few, schoology has excellent assessment capabilities. It allows us to provide feedback and timely advice!
Google Classroom is like Schoology-Lite. Both platforms have similar resources and can link to SIS, but Schoology is more versatile, more dynamic, and more comprehensive.
Schoology has far more options than any of the above three as far as communication, dissemination of information, and assignment and test updates and tracking. Moodle was fairly primitive in its design; Blackboard is a bit clunky in its use, and, while Google Classroom is …
Schoology provides a much more user-friendly experience for students and instructors while providing most, if not all, of the same functionality of Blackboard. In addition, Schoology adds additional social experiences that encourage student collaboration inside and outside of …
We choose Schoology over other platforms based on its UI design, its cost per user, and its ambitious roadmap for future development to support students and teachers.
Schoology is easier and more robust then any other learning management system I have ever used. It is also available for free to teachers that has almost all of the features available. Blackboard was terribly user unfriendly. Canvas was too limited for me. Moodle was only …
I've either been a student or teacher in each of the products listed above. Schoology is, by far, the easiest yet most comprehensive platform. While several of the products have similar features, the layout, look, and navigation within Schoology create the best user experience. …
Schoology is user-friendly and easy to use. The majority of customers that Schoology has are K-12 school districts. This was appealing to our district. They understand the specifc needs of our district. We feel like we are partners in education. They listen and provide positive …
The learning curve for Schoology is substantially less dramatic than other products. Schoology's mobile platform is more robust, and better supports the devices most frequently used by our learners. Schoology has greater functionality, and more classroom management features …

Chose Schoology Learning
Schoology was selected because it is user friendly and Admin friendly. The platform is also exceptionally intuitive for users.
Other LMS that we reviewed did not have the same functionality. Many times they were not as intuitive, or took many more steps to complete tasks. Also the cost was better when you factored in what you got and who could use it. Many LMS would not work well with younger …

Chose Schoology Learning
Schoology is more robust than Google Classroom as it can track student progress and connect University criteria to student objectives. It has more capabilities than Blackboard.
When we set out on the journey to adopt an LMS, we were looking for a system that would integrate with our current systems, allow for personalized learning and differentiation, user friendly, device agnostic, include online support/help, can integrate standards and learning …
Schoology's community of teachers is huge and built within the platform which means you feel supported from day one in the platform. The free 'basic' accounts also mean that you can experiment with the platform before signup to the enterprise version.
Schoology outperforms all other learning management system platforms. Its interface and platform are intuitive and easy to learn how to use. Plus, it has an abundance of features that make differentiation possible and powerful.

Chose Schoology Learning
During my tenure at Falls Church City Public Schools we suffered through a a few Learning Management Tools that did not meet our K-12 needs. When we discovered Schoology, is had (and still has) the best mobile application out there. This providing us the flexibility needed as …
Schoology had a few key advantages over its competitors, and are why we decided to go with their platform: - Their iOS and Android apps are really good and updated frequently - The grades and students information sync between Schoology and PowerSchool
I've chosen Schoology as a learning management system due to its enormous complexity paired with equal simplicity. Schoology can do what other more complicated systems can do, but it is far easier to create and manage. I've used a few different systems in my years as a student …
