EdApp
EdApp is great if you want to have internal training and do not want to waste time for the agency to understand your business, you do it yourself. It’s great for field structures as it’s built for mobile and built to be snappy - great time saver! It’s not yet great in the area of Power BI dashboards and customizable reports for usage.

Edsby
  • It has a home page viewable by students in which there is a Journal space. Teachers can post reminders for example for homework or upcoming events.
  • EDSBY has a place where one can create Folders or Unit Assessments which students can access and if need be print themselves a copy of the assessment. These folders can be used for different unit work or for something that is used throughout the semester. For instance, information on The Writing Process is in a folder, as are major assessments.
  • It's easy to set up the Grade Book because of the automatic choices that are offered for semester work and culminating work. Weights can be edited and categories of assessment can be changed quickly, if needed.
  • If you have a problem, you can ask for help from someone in the school or in the system who knows about the program, or you can send a message to EDSBY, and they are very quick in replying with a fix.

  • Edsby could make the sorting and collecting of information such as attendance easier.
  • Enhancements to the messaging system are needed - sorting into folders, searching, etc.

Usability
EdApp
It’s really easy! After the onboarding with the app I’m able to ‘spit out’ a course within 1hr. That means I can now do pre-work for any meeting and see who did it and also shorten meeting time that usually was wasted on explanation of the topic. The mobile access made it simple for everyone and lead to our field force employees finding time for development between client visits.

The user interface is widely modelled on a web 2.0 design (e.g. Facebook). This is not a criticism per se, as it makes moving around the site very easy and familiar. The mobile site is also very well designed, it makes good use of space and is also easy to navigate.

They have a live person on the line. Easy going and responsive. Problem was resolved within 17mins when I anticipated it would take hours!

EdApp
EdApp has an easier interface. It allows you to start building whole courses with many lessons within first hours of use. It’s design looks more professional which results in a better fit for business environment. Unlike Kahoot!, it’s not recognised as ‘the thing my kids have at school’ - important factor in terms of user approach to content provided in lessons.

Edsby and Google Classroom are two entirely different services, yet they can be used together with increased learning effectiveness as the result. When used in tandem, they combine the best features of both platforms and blend them together to get the best learning platform possible.

Return on Investment
EdApp
  • It started ‘binge learning’ thanks to 8min average time needed to complete a lesson
  • It allowed a 93% completion rate for field force training materials (up from 47%)
  • It allowed for easy and attractive implementation of mandatory content (compliance/lex)

Edsby
  • Better customer service, in the sense that students know clearly what they need to do, and when they need to do it.
  • Better customer service, in that it is easier for teachers to contact parents, with the lap top in front of them and all the relevant data on student progress or lack thereof in front of them.
  • Better customer service, in that students can email the teacher directly through EDSBY to ask a question or see clarification, or make a request.
