Overall Satisfaction with Schoology
Schoology is a Learning Management system that is used in both the middle school and the high school where I teach. It is being used to help deliver content, assess student proficiency, and develop skills in our students that will aide them in post secondary success.
- One way in which I believe that Schoology is a high leverage educational tool is its ability to communicate with students and families. I love the intuitive design of the user interface, which allows me to provide the families I serve with information that they can quickly access and use to develop student knowledge.
- Another feature of this platform that I find valuable is their assessment features. I utilize these assessments regularly. This feature allows me to quickly ascertain where my students are in their level of proficiency and make quick, targeted corrections to student misconceptions.
- Another thing that I enjoy about working with this company is their focus on their users. I have attended their annual user conference twice and I have never met people in a system who are so totally dedicated to making their product work for their customers. They are truly focused on each user or systems success with their platform.
- I would like to see them continue to develop their assessment platform to provide more meaningful analytics of both group and individual performances.
- I like how the community of users have a forum to aide each other. However, on rare occasion the feed is a little overwhelming.
- I would like more information about hooking more parents into the platform so that they could interact better with the school and their children.
- During our time using Schoology, it has helped the middle school increase their achievement on state testing.
- Schoology has allowed us to communicate academic expectations more concisely with all stakeholders.
- It provides a reliable delivery system for innovative instructional practices.
I was in the committee that investigated LMS platforms and the committee felt very strongly that Schoology would better serve our needs. Since we made that decision we have not looked back. Schoology continues to improve their product and provide additional features based on their users needs.
