Overall Satisfaction with Schoology
Schoology is used in our high school, primarily in our ninth and tenth grades. We run a Bring Your Own Device program that will roll up and eventually be part of grades 8-12. We needed a centralized learning management system to simplify the process of converting our paper-full classrooms to paperless classrooms. This allows our staff to use common assessments and work as collaborative teams while collecting student data for quick analysis.
- Schoology works very well with Google products. We are a GAFE school so needed a product that would work in that environment.
- The analytics are invaluable when making data-driven decisions.
- Schoology's user interface is clean and simple. It's very intuitive for both students and staff.
- I would like to see more assessment options. There are more on the way, according to Schoology.
- I would like to see a simpler way to grade submissions. For example, you should be able to sort by "needs grading" once you are in the submissions instead of scrolling through all of the students again.
- I would like to be able to offer differentiation options through the assessments based on student's responses.
- It has been a positive impact overall.
- Staff appreciate the ability to reuse their courses without having to rebuild them every time.
- Students like having access to materials outside of the classroom.
- Canvas, Google Classroom and Moodle
We started our search by defining our purpose and what we wanted from an LMS. Then, we started exploring options. We chose Schoology because of its user-friendly interface, rich assessment tools, user analytics, and integration with Google.
