Teachers can track student participation and progress and meet with students through popular video conferencing tools.

Share digital content across the region

Approved content can be automatically distributed to every class in the region by grade level and subject. This can include local curriculum standards, outcomes, expectations and a wide form of digital contentincluding e-textbooks. Approved curriculum can be curated and distributed with learning object repositories (LORs). Edsby also simplifies access to other apps used by the region via a launchpad and LTI integrations.

Use your assessment schemes and terms

Edsby can align your teachers with your region’s approach to assessment and reporting. This includes customization with your terminology, grading schemes and a wide range of assessment methodologies. Standards, expectations or outcomes can be pre-loaded in Edsby and automatically provided to teachers based on subjects and grade levels.

Powerful formative assessment

Edsby’s modern formative assessment tools provide teachers, students and parents with innovative ways to capture, share and collaborate on a student’s learning journey. These can be used in the classroom by a team of teachers for early years, and even by a student or parent at home as a way to share learning progress.

Edsby provides a state-of-the-art gradebook with powerful weighting, strand support, outcome/standards based assessment and a wide range of analysis tools (e.g. mean, mode, average, etc.) It provides elegant support for rubric-based assessment and integrated online testing.

Managing report cards region-wide

Edsby goes far beyond traditional learning management products through powerful reporting tools that meet your region’s requirements. Teachers can efficiently provide meaningful input for student report cards. Edsby can produce report cards for printing or publishing online, saving time and resources. Manage report cards across your entire region without needing to build support in each of your SIS/SMSes.

Make data-driven
decisions based on latest
data from across the region

The right info to the right people at the right time

Legacy warehouses put data only in the hands of a few specialists. Edsby’s award-winning analytics system gets rich data directly to educators and administrators. Principals see what they should about their school. Teachers see info for their current students. Edsby updates access permissions every day.

Gain insights into student performance

Measure how students are doing at all levels. Detect problem areas. Identify trends. Analyze data by gender, age, subject, ethnicity or other dimensions. Find students at risk across the region and allow educators to intervene from the same system they’re already using for everything else.

Modern,
interactive
interface

Edsby’s analytics use Microsoft’s Power BI visualization system to provide dynamic, living dashboards with filtering and drill-down only a click away. Edsby provides a range of ready-made dashboards, can help generate custom dashboards and enable regions to create their own.

Groups for local and regional capacity building, training and bonding

Supercharge learning communities

Your region’s educators can share best practices, mentor new teachers, exchange curriculum content and even jointly author course plans in Professional Learning Community (PLC) groups. Edsby knows which subjects and grade levels each teacher is teaching and can automatically add them to relevant PLCs.

Connect your administrators

Edsby Groups can unite school administrators across your region. They also provide a way to share local insights and information around particular topics (e.g. “Pandemic Q&A.”)

Maximize school communication

At the school level, Edsby Groups support students’ sense of belonging and well-being and provide secure ways for staff, students and parents to share. Many schools using Edsby have hundreds of groups for clubs, teams, student council, parent advisory committee and more.

A unique architecture built for the special challenges of regions.

Framework for data consistency

  • One SIS or many
  • Recognizes variety of systems of record
  • Leverages existing authentication systems
  • Region-wide rich electronic student records
  • Well thought-out data privacy protection
    • Security. Reliability. Scalability. Data sovereignty. All covered.
    Proven for region-scale deployments

    Edsby uses Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform to meet the scalability, reliability and security requirements a region requires. Microsoft’s broad global coverage with Azure enables Edsby to keep a region’s data in the geography that meets its data sovereignty requirements. Microsoft named Edsby its Global Education Partner of the Year.

    Reduced data privacy risks

    Learning organizations that don’t have a comprehensive managed modern learning platform are at risk of privacy breaches when teachers turn to freeware found on the Internet. With free apps, organizations have little control over where and how student data is stored or potentially monetized. Edsby reduces a region’s exposure with modern assessment and student/parent engagement tools so teachers no longer need to take risks.

    Doing right by K‑12

    Tailor-made just for K‑12

    Unlike other companies that sell primarily to higher education and/or corporations, Edsby is solely focused the needs of K‑12 students, teachers and parents. Edsby’s broad support for parents and rich formative assessment features for early year learners are but two examples.

    An inclusive solution for all

    Edsby does the heavy lifting to automatically set up classes, students and parents for educators. Even teachers not on tech’s cutting edge can use the pre-configured tools Edsby provides. Your teachers can “fly in formation” regardless of their tech savvy, to the benefit of every student and parent.

    Comprehensive teacher training

    To ensure educators’ success, Edsby includes training plans with each deployment. Hundreds of online videos and text help files are available. A built in “tour” introduces new users to system basics. Edsby Professional Development groups provide for online teacher training, and more.
