A Great Option and Ever Improving
Overall Satisfaction with Schoology Learning, a PowerSchool Unified Classroom product
Fieldcrest currently uses Schoology as a district wide Learning Management System (LMS). We switched to Schoology last year and I use Schoology for almost all of my course work. I teach using the flipped classroom model and Schoology's platform allows me to share my lecture videos, conduct assessments of student knowledge and understanding, to give assignments, and to provide communication with students and parents. All of my content is available to my students through Schoology 24/7, I can make it available in a variety of ways, and I can make updates in real time. Recently, Schoology's introduction of the Google Assignment App has me excited about our switch to Chromebooks. This app allows you to attach a Google Doc (say a study guide) as part of an assignment. When students open the assignment the document is copied, renamed, and added to their Google Drive. No more students opening or copying a new version of the document each time they go back to the assignment instead of to the copy they made but didn't actually rename like the directions stated. The document is 'tied' to the assignment and updates no matter where they work on it from (inside the assignment or through their Google Drive.)
Still to come, a cleaner looking interface with differentiation for elementary students!
Still to come, a cleaner looking interface with differentiation for elementary students!
- Google Assignment App - this is a game changer for schools using Google and Chromebooks.
- Most open LMS - it integrates with more outside apps and programs.
- New interfaces on the way - a cleaner look for all and an elementary version of the interface.
- More question types coming for assessments including labeling.
- Options are availble for assessment monitoring for schools and districts.
- Microsoft OneDrive Integration and Assignments.
- Google Drive Integration
- I wish I could move and resize pop up editing boxes. I create complex and visual landing pages with hyperlinks for my students. I wish that box were able to be made bigger and many pop up boxes cover information on the page that would be helpful when working in the box.
- Settings and due dates for assessments are in two completely different places when creating them. One is in a tab in the content area, the other is in the creation "gear" menu. If both are not set correctly, your assessment will not work.
- For use, more staff members are using Schoology than with our old LMS.
- The administration and counselors are also utilizing the platform.
- More parents are accessing their student's coursework and communicating through Schoology that in the past.
- Blackboard, Canvas and Edmodo
Schoology provided all of the features of Canvas for a much lower cost. Its ever increasing integration of outside apps and LTIs makes it a great choice for those looking for an LMS. With new question types on the way, outstanding Google and Microsoft integration and interfaces that are cleaner and more streamlined, it makes a great choice to house content, conduct assessments, and for conducting training. Additionally, its AMP system combines learning management and assessment management into one easy-to-use Assessment Management Platform (AMP), bringing together student learning experiences with comprehensive assessment and actionable reporting.
