Overall Satisfaction with Schoolbox

We use schoolbox daily as our LMS and user portal.
As an LMS, it allows our teachers to easily organise class information, assessments and feedback. As a portal it allows our school to manage group communications between staff, parents and students. You can use a range of media types as it supports the use of images, video and embedded web content. It also has support for LTI integrations.
  • Learning management
  • Feedback management
  • Communications - email/news posting
  • User interface
  • System search
  • Quiz builder
  • It’s a time saver for teachers as course information can be re-used
  • User administration rules allows for automation
  • Parent comms are centralised and easily managed
  • Canvas
Canvas is purely an LMS. Whilst it is a good system, it didn’t allow us to manage parent communication or use it as a portal. In the end we didn’t want to manage 2 separate systems. Schoolbox is the only all in one system we found that stacked up. Other systems did the portal well, or the LMS well, but not both together.

Schoolboxn is well suited to being a school portal. You can manage user accounts, access to information and communicate to users individually or as a group. The pages allow for a great range of media types, you can use blog, forum or chat and embed videos and images easily. As an LMS, this system is great. Student accounts link to class information easily by the back end sync tools. Giving students instant access to their information. Assessments are easily submitted and feedback given by teachers can be viewed by students and parents.
A situation where this system is less suitable is if you work in a school that already has a dedicated portal and/or LMS.
