Schoology Learning vs. Workday Learning

Schoology does the job well enough, but there are enough areas of contention that make advanced use of the system unwieldy. District staff does not have easy reporting ability to determine adoption and use of the platform without having to export to another program for analysis. The reliability of the system is a huge pain point as we need to deliver the curriculum but cannot count on it being available when we need to use it.

Vast amount of courses that are bespoke for each role. Easy to navigate knowing what's required and the furthermore what is recommended for everyone to gain more knowledge. You can self in role into course which is helpful and easy to do. If you fail a quiz you can go back to only the incorrect answers which is more efficient

• Assessments - Much more interactive and have more grading options than Google Forms
• Auto-rostering - We are able to use Infinite Campus to automatically roster classes and there are no extra steps
• Family/Guardian access - Schoology allows families to have a sign in and see student grades & work.

• While this product constantly seeks to make improvements, certain features need tweaking. As educators enroll in various courses, these course tend to accumulate. If the educator is not an administrator of the course, it is next to impossible to get out.
• Switching from one course/group to another course/group takes several steps. Not always easy to find the course/group needed.

While we have taken time to re-evaluate our selected 1:1 devices, Schoology's impact on student learning is unquestioned. Students are able to connect with other learners, create and share products of their learning, and develop their digital fluency through their use of Schoology.

No brainer

It's very easy to use Schoology. As with any LMS, it helps to learn some tips and tricks prior to getting started. But, each item is clearly indicated within the platform. If I want to add materials, it is right at the top of my screen. If I want to view the calendar, it is indicated to the right of my screen. Navigating a course and the platform is quite straightforward. Additionally, the benefit of Schoology's help center and user community makes asking and answering questions quick and easy.

Workday Learning makes e-learning simple, accessible, and enjoyable for employees at every level. The platform is easy to navigate, with clear course layouts, straightforward progress tracking, and quick access to learning materials. Assignments, reminders, and certifications are all organized efficiently, helping users stay on top of training without feeling overwhelmed. The mobile-friendly design also makes learning convenient from anywhere. Overall, Workday Learning creates a smooth, user-friendly learning experience that encourages continuous development and engagement

Generally good, but issue self-reporting has become a problem. When there are issues, it can be 20 minutes to an hour before it gets noted on the status page

Course saves or transfers can take several minutes and up to an hour

We have county-level support and district-level support, but their HELP page offers everything that is needed to answer questions and to find "how-to" information for staff. This includes video and written directions for every available feature. Schoology has also worked with our district to improve their product.

Via our hr department it's easy

Too surface level with no follow-up. A

Sit and get with very little hands-on time. 5 minutes to try out a feature/question type, etc. is not enough time. Once your training is done, there is no option for new employees to get that training without having to rebook and pay for the training again. If you pay for basic training, that should be available to a district to use in the future.

I have taught using both Edmodo and Google Classroom. While both were easier than Schoology was to get in the beginning, Schoology is infinitely more powerful than either of them was. I can do so much more, and differentiate so much easier using Schoology than I could with either of my previous LMSs.

Workday provides a more seamless and professional learning experience than 360Learning, especially for larger organizations managing complex training needs. Its interface feels more polished, navigation is simpler, and integration with HR systems makes tracking progress and compliance effortless. Reporting tools are clearer, learning paths are easier to manage, and the overall user experience feels more consistent. Workday Learning ultimately delivers a smoother, more efficient, and better organized platform for employees and administrators alike.

We use it 5-12 so scalability is not an issue but sharing materials between departments including common assessments is difficult without paying for add-on features

• Using Schoology to build a foundation for a blended learning model has helped increase my students ABC rate between 15-20% in all classes!
• Using Schoology is forcing my students to become responsible for their own learning!
• The only negative thing I have encountered is the students resistance to change!
