I have recommended it across campus and would not hesitate to do so again. It has been great in our lab environments and would like to continue using it for years to come. In the future as we move away from physical labs I will be investigating to purchase for BYOD devices, however I know that I will face pushback from students on this. However we must weigh privacy & security vs. using BYOD devices and integrity on exams.Incentivized
Veracross is software that can be highly recommended to anyone in the education industry. Veracross offers a breadth of services varying from administration to student-parent communication. The unique abilities that Veracross offers such as email reminders, attendance management, billing, and payment processing, and attendance tracking have made my job as an administrative support manager so much easier and more productive here at Teachables.
Lenovo LanSchool has a very easy to use and easy to learn interface. With software, the hardest thing to do is to teach new teachers or veteran teachers how to use technology in their classrooms. Being able to easily teach teachers to use this software is one of the best aspects of the [Lenovo LanSchool].Something that LanSchool does well is to monitor student actions. On the screens, you can see all the linked computers of all students. This feature lets you see every student on one screen. The alternative is walking around the classroom or scrolling through pages of student screens, with LanSchool you can guarantee that you are seeing all screens at once.Overall classroom management is a key feature on the platform. You can share files, freeze student screens, blank out student screens and share another screen to the entire class. There are far more options in terms of engaging the students than a conventional method of asking students to pay attention. Installing LanSchool is a huge asset for teachers to engage and update their lessons.A cool element I seldom use is the speaking software, being able to speak through their computer screens is great to give direction or get attention quickly.Incentivized
mobile-friendly portal for staffulty, parents, and studentsbuilt-in or easy-to-configure integration with other systems (for example, RankOne and Naviance)targeted messaging based on data within the system"where is student now?" is one-click awayIncentivized
Messaging could be improved for notification when messages are sent.When multiple users use the same computer, sometimes LanSchool needs to be restarted to show changes in usernames.You can save layouts, but I would like more options for how to arrange the layout you see the computers on your screen.Incentivized
Normally it has everything I need for my work, today I was able to make a video call and chat from my cell phone and this adds more positive points to Veracross.
We will continue to use Veracross for the simple fact that we have one database across all of the departments in our school. Veracross continues to listen to customer feedback and improve and enhance the system.
LOVE the Technical Response Team - the first line of help at Veracross. I can quickly submit a ticket and receive a response knowing that they have looked in our system and know what we are trying to do! Our account manager is also amazing! So nice to have a person within the company who knows our school and our needs!
VNC Connect required you to manually add the "client" workstations to the "dashboard".Incentivized
Veracross has better built-in integrations with other platforms/systems. IT is much simpler and easy to use. It keeps records in a much simpler way and can be accessed through different modes of reporting. It is very easy to keep track of the progress in any training, project, or assignment with Veracross.Incentivized
Helps us serve thousands of students each yearHas helped us improve classroom managementSaves us time with technology set up (e.g. being able to do all from Lanschool, not having to set up each individual computer every day)Incentivized
Not sure, but our school has been using it for years, so it must be worth it. Veracross is good about updating and adding features.Incentivized
