Likelihood to Recommend	Edsby I use only Edsby - I have no use for a google classroom as well as an Edsby page. I try to convince and how teachers how easy it is to use only one system Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	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.

Cons	Edsby 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. David Lee Vice Principal Read full review
Usability	Edsby 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. Matthew David IT Director Read full review

Return on Investment	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.
