Schoology LMS Reviews

“Schoology”

Pros

The ease of communication between teachers and parents as well as teachers and students is what I appreciate most about Schoology.

Cons

The learning curve for new users is a downside of Schoology. It can be challenging to navigate and locate items if you are unfamiliar with the platform.

“Not The Best Out There”

Pros

My school utilizes Schoology as its online platform and I found it to be straightforward for posting receiving editing and grading assignments within the system. Making class announcements is also a simple process.

Cons

I always felt that the platform lacked user-friendliness. It seemed to hide many features requiring intricate clicking to access them. I have experienced other online learning platforms that appeared simpler to navigate. The online editing and grading tool specifically for word processed documents was particularly problematic.

“Schoology LMS as easy as FB”

Pros

The best aspect of this product is its user-friendly learning curve. If you're familiar with platforms like Facebook learning Schoology is a piece of cake. Parents students and teachers easily grasp its functionality and put it to good use.

Cons

During my active usage the software didn't integrate with our main grading platform resulting in the need to maintain separate records on both platforms.

“Schoology the only LMS for all grades”

Pros

Schoology's ease of use spans across grades K-13 making it the ideal software for all grade levels. Additionally its integration capabilities are truly impressive.

Cons

Sometimes products are launched prematurely with new programs lacking full functionality while old ones still remain in use.

“Schoology fits the bill!”

Pros

Schoology fulfills all the essential needs of a LIMS or classroom app allowing for teacher-student interaction classroom discussions testing and assignment management. It comes highly recommended especially the free version which is sufficient for most users unless specific customization and enterprise support are required.

Cons

From an IT administrator's perspective there is pressure from sales personnel to upgrade to the paid/Enterprise version of the software.

“Schoolology”

Pros

The ability to post daily grades for my children and provide them with access to their assignment grades on a regular basis is a valuable feature.

Cons

It can be confusing for parents with multiple children to navigate.

“Schoology Review M”

Pros

Submitting assignments and checking grades is a straightforward process with Schoology.

Cons

Basic functionality still has many bugs that need to be addressed.

“Some Good Features But Looks Outdates”

Pros

Schoology serves as an excellent platform for connecting groups online sharing resources and facilitating discussions and events. It is easy to set up and manage as demonstrated by a professional development team's experience.

Cons

Schoology's interface appears outdated and feels cumbersome to use. Many members of my team encountered difficulties logging in initially. The features would greatly benefit from streamlining and cleaning up and it would be helpful to have user activity analytics.

“Great way to assign work collect and grade”

Pros

One of Schoology's standout features is the ability to assign and grade various types of assignments directly on the platform. This eliminates the need for physical copies and reduces the risk of damaging or misplacing student work. Integration with popular collaboration tools like Google Drive and Microsoft Office further streamlines the process. The platform offers flexibility to create new assignments or utilize existing ones.

Cons

One drawback of Schoology is its outdated appearance. It resembles an old-school website (like MySpace) despite offering more advanced and sophisticated functionalities. This can make navigation challenging especially when dealing with a large volume of uploaded content.

“Helpful software as long as teachers are on board.”

Pros

Schoology is a valuable tool for staying informed about assignments and keeping up with classroom activities. It also provides a convenient space for teachers to share links and resources.

Cons

Schoology becomes less useful if teachers don't post frequently.

“Education Just Got Easier”

Pros

As an experienced educator Schoology proves invaluable in maintaining a cohesive approach across grade levels and building a strong foundation for students' education.

Cons

Schoology's coverage across K-13 feels somewhat stretched. It might be beneficial to develop specific software for different grade ranges such as 1-5 6-8 and so on.

“Best Educator Software”

Pros

I am a teacher in a school district that recently implemented Schoology as a mandatory platform and I must say it has been a game-changer. Schoology is truly amazing. First and foremost its user-friendly interface resembling a Facebook news feed and its similarity to early-stage online grade books make it incredibly easy to navigate. The gradebook feature is particularly convenient as our district has integrated an option for automatic transfer and posting of grades into the district database every five weeks. This alone saves teachers hours of work during grading periods. Second Schoology allows students to submit assignments directly on the platform eliminating the need for stacks of papers to take home and grade. I can access and grade assignments online from any device at my convenience. Even better tests and quizzes can be created and programmed with correct answers so when students submit them Schoology automatically grades and posts the scores (with an option to review for verification). Overall Schoology has significantly streamlined the grading process and provided greater flexibility for both teachers and students.

Cons

As a math teacher I wish Schoology had the option for students to create their own graphs during tests. Currently this feature is unavailable forcing me to create graphs separately and insert them as pictures for graphing questions often turning them into multiple-choice queries.

“Student friendly platform”

Pros

Schoology has been a reliable communication tool for both teaching a course and as a parent monitoring my children's grades. It is user-friendly and has been well-received by students.

Cons

Switching to the Enterprise version did not provide noticeable benefits and the cost associated with it was not justified.

“Great tool to monitor your childrens schoolwork”

Pros

With three children in school Schoology allows me to easily monitor each child's school work. The app also enables direct messaging with teachers eliminating the need for disruptive phone calls during class time.

Cons

It would be fantastic to have the capability of sending direct messages to the school principal using this app.

“Schoology an software for school”

Pros

Schoology makes assignment submissions easy and keeps users organized through an intuitive app. The calendar feature ensures timely notifications for upcoming assignments and events.

Cons

The software structure is predominantly tailored for educational purposes.

“About schoology”

Pros

I have a great appreciation for Schoology due to its user-friendly interface, making it easy to track grades and assignments effortlessly.

Cons

I harbor no reservations about Schoology; it proves entirely satisfactory.

“Great Educational Platform”

Pros

One positive aspect of Schoology is the ease of locating enrolled classes and linking updates to personal calendars.

Cons

Schoology's challenge lies not in the platform itself but in administrators. The platform's effectiveness diminishes if they fail to utilize and update the calendar. An organized and proactive instructor significantly enhances the experience.

“Effective software for parents and teachers”

Pros

This user-friendly software facilitates enhanced communication with parents, fostering a better understanding.

Cons

The mobile app seems to lack full capabilities compared to the desktop version. Nevertheless, the software remains effective.

“Schoology as a LMA”

It deviates from the typical gradebook program standards, posing challenges for parents and students accustomed to traditional grading systems.
