Overall Satisfaction with Schoology

Schoology is used by my entire school district K-12 as well as for professional development. The groups feature within Schoology has also been instrumental in bringing all of our department resources in one location. It allows our students a one-stop shop for their course materials, submission of assignments, conversing in a group/class/school discussion, and providing messaging between staff, students, and parents. The free APP is integral for our high school students, who like to be able to check their grades quickly on their phone or message their teacher with a question or concern. It has been instrumental in keeping students up-to-date with school activities and the calendar features along with the group/course/school updates provides students with the necessary information to be prepared for their school day.
  • Schoology's ease of use is its number 1 strength. It is user-friendly and takes only a short while for users to figure out how to add materials and get their class started on using this impressive LMS.
  • Schoology's assessments are spot on and the ability to attach our standards to these assessments allows the teacher to see exactly how their students are progressing through the standards toward course/content mastery.
  • Schoology's portfolios for student work is super easy to use and travels with the student. It is simply amazing
  • I would love to see their badging could be set to automatically occur after students finish a learning pathway/student completion.
  • We have increased student engagement.
  • We have cut our costs significantly in printing classroom materials and students printing their essays/papers.
Schoology was so much easier to use than Moodle. Fewer steps to produce better materials than in Moodle. Edmodo was not as reliable on our browsers. Schoology rarely doesn't work or goes offline. Schoology's support framework and ease of use is why we chose them over the other LMS.
Schoology is suited well for hybrid/blended, flipped, or online classrooms where students need to work independently with online materials. It really can work well with classrooms where the students have a device to use use each day. It would be incredibly difficult to use in an area without reliable wifi/internet access.
