Schoology LMS Reviews

“Beneficial for teachers parents and students.”

Pros

Utilizing Schoology as an LMS facilitates quick communication among teachers parents and students. Even when a student is absent from school they can stay updated and avoid falling behind.

Cons

This software is continuously evolving and receiving updates which is a positive aspect. However I'm currently not impressed with the teacher analytics provided by the new assessments tool. Nonetheless I can still gather the information I need through tests and quizzes.

“A veritable online marketplace”

Pros

The ease of exchanging ideas on Schoology is impressive. Topics can be initiated and followed separately creating an experience similar to an internal Facebook comment page. While I recognize its professional and practical uses I haven't found any faults with it thus far.

Cons

So far I have no issues to report. I'm genuinely impressed with how user-friendly it is!

“Average "School" Assignment Software”

Pros

I appreciate the feature that allows me to see everyone in my class and contact them directly through Schoology. Getting notifications about new class board additions and assignment due dates is straightforward. It's also great that there are professional communication channels available. Additionally linking it to my email for notifications is convenient.

Cons

I initially considered Schoology to be a suitable alternative to Blackboard. However when dealing with multiple groups and sections navigating through pages can become challenging. It was difficult to determine where my comments were supposed to be placed in specific sections for responding to work.

“Terrible app even worse customer service”

Pros

Managing my son's schooling was a breeze with Schoology.

Cons

The system's interface feels clunky as you have to navigate in and out of different tabs to access various grades instead of having them consolidated under a single convenient tab. Moreover the absence of a password reset function adds to the inconvenience. When seeking assistance the response from customer support was rather snarky implying that only paying Enterprise subscription users receive ticketing support. Instead they directed me to other resources leaving me with the impression that they were unwilling to help free (Basic) users.

“Online Learning & Staying Connected”

Pros

I am thoroughly impressed with the seamless usability and intuitive nature of Schoology. Whenever I envision a task I'd like to accomplish on the platform Schoology delivers without fail. Whether it's sharing information with various groups I belong to or conducting a course my experiences have consistently been positive. Schoology has truly exceeded my expectations.

Cons

Within one of the groups I am a part of we frequently share resources. However the file names often lack sufficient information or are too similar to distinguish easily. It would be highly beneficial to have a tile view option that provides a small image preview of each file. This feature would save time and effort by eliminating the need to repeatedly open and close files until finding the desired one.

“Schoology for Substitutes”

Pros

When it comes to substituting Schoology's software is a breeze to use. Navigating to the necessary sections is seamless and hassle-free.

Cons

Though I haven't extensively used this software my experience so far has been problem-free.

“Excellent curriculum management software”

Pros

Schoology has proven to be an invaluable tool for managing my students' homework and practice assignments. Its integration with Google Drive allows for seamless uploading and live linking of question banks and other documents. What I appreciate most is its user-friendly interface making it a breeze to navigate and utilize.

Cons

Occasionally I encounter glitches that prevent me from accessing quiz banks but these issues are usually easy to resolve.

“Love it for School Communication”

Pros

The weekly reports and seamless communication with school personnel make Schoology a reliable platform for staying updated within the school community.

Cons

Linking up with the phone app can be challenging as emails are the most reliable means of communication.

“Great for grades and assessments”

Pros

I just finished using Schoology today to input my grades and it was incredibly easy! I also love the feature of creating and assigning assessments to students simply by providing them with an access code. It's genius!

Cons

While it may be due to my own mistakes I sometimes struggle with grading possibly clicking on the wrong name by accident.

“Schoology is ok”

Pros

Schoology provides an acceptable method for tracking your child's grades and upcoming assignments.

Cons

It can be confusing to navigate because you need to be logged into your child's account to view their information while generic school info is displayed otherwise.

“Back to School?”

Pros

Schoology is a commendable effort in preparing students for assessments and facilitating learning practices. It is user-friendly for both students and teachers.

Cons

Some of the questions in Schoology differ from FSA questions compared to other software. However if teachers are seeking a tool for various assignments or learning centers Schoology proves to be useful. It facilitates differentiation assignments and learning centers effectively.

“Useful for Learning”

Pros

It's an excellent way to ensure that people have the necessary information and track their usage of provided training materials.

Cons

Navigating through courses can become confusing when clicking around.

“Great for teachers mediocre for students”

Pros

Enables quick comparison of students' scores against class and previously set standards. Simplifies complicated assessments like re-takes and handling late work. Streamlines paper grading with the ability to provide various forms of feedback securely store grades and navigate between papers. Integration with Google Docs.

Cons

Initially it's challenging for students to grasp and not very user-friendly for children. There is no messenger for students and students are responsible for enrolling themselves.

“Schoology is THE LMS to use!”

Pros

This intuitive and user-friendly LMS is a standout. The ability to store and copy information across terms along with the clean design of assignments and homepage are its best features.

Cons

Our Skyward standards-based grading and report cards don't integrate with Schoology. As a result we lose some functionality in Schoology that would make assessing and grading assessments more seamless and directly linked to our gradebook.

“Schoology for college students”

Pros

As a college student I rely on Schoology daily. It's convenient simple and easy to use. It reminds me of Facebook's layout but with the added benefit of a calendar displaying upcoming assignments.

Cons

Once an assignment is completed it would be preferable if it automatically deleted from the assignments due list.

“Empower Students and Teachers”

Pros

Schoology empowers teachers to personalize instruction and facilitate blended learning opportunities. The ability to assign work individually and establish student completion rules is particularly advantageous. The mastery components hold immense power and potential when used effectively.

Cons

We desire better interoperability between Schoology and Infinite Campus. Although we are piloting the passback feature there are a few glitches.

“Schoology for K-13 Educators”

Pros

As an administrator in a large urban school district I appreciate the convenient and easy-to-use content and resource sharing capabilities of Schoology.

Cons

One challenge some of my teachers face is the grading function. Schoology is excellent for formative or short assessments but it could be easier to transfer data from Schoology to other programs used by our district.

“Parent user”

Pros

I appreciate how parents and students can effortlessly use Schoology without any fees or having to pay for the app on their phones. While some teachers at our school may find it less intuitive perhaps they haven't yet discovered how to transfer their previous online gradebook. Our entire district utilizes Schoology but my children are currently at the middle and high school levels.

Cons

Some teachers don't utilize Schoology to effectively communicate with parents and students.

“Schoology”

Pros

Schoology makes it easy to stay informed about your child's education. You can check grades monitor missing assignments and keep up with school news effortlessly.

Cons

The absence of a search button means it takes a while to scroll through all the posts to find something a teacher has posted.

“Great learning management system for teachers students and parents.”

Pros

What an exceptional software! As a teacher I find it invaluable for uploading and sharing my classes with students no matter where they are. It's especially useful for when they miss a class. The Schoology community is another fantastic feature allowing for course sharing feedback and learning from others. And if you prefer privacy you can share a code for exclusive student access.

Cons

The Schoology interface could be more appealing as the icons appear basic and outdated. Additionally the software lacks certain features in its app form requiring a computer or a cellphone with a larger screen for optimal use of some tools.
