Edsby does what is should
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Edsby as a full classroom communication tool as well as a full gradebook and reporting solution. Teachers communicate with students and parents, students submit work to the teacher. Marking is done in the application gradebook and is reported on through the report cards to make students and parents aware of where they stand. Administrators also use Edsby to communicate what is going on from a higher level and also use the system to make overreaching decisions based on student academics.
Pros
- Communication
- Gradebook Configuration
- Reporting
Cons
- Customizability
- Support
- Synchronization
Return on Investment
