Partnership Lets Teachers Adjust Learning Platforms More Easily
A
new partnership between two different kinds of technology companies in
the
education space is designed to free teachers from some administrative chores and
give
them more time with students.
Digedu,
which provides online learning platforms, and Clever,
whose platform allows
school districts to sync their student information with learning
software, have
announced the strategic partnership. Teachers and administrators at K-12
schools who use digedu will now be able to immediately
populate their digital
learning platforms with secure up-to-date student information.
In
many
cases, without the collaboration between the two technology providers, a
school's student information data base is not immediately available to
teachers
using a digital learning platform. With the collaboration, a single
sign-on
will allow teachers to immediately incorporate changes in student
information into
their online learning systems.
Clever's
software
provides a number of benefits along with the single sign-on for both
educational and administrative functions. With Clever's instant login,
digedu users
will be able to use their existing district credentials to log in.
"It
can
be a struggle keeping student data up to date and consistent because
class
schedules and teachers' rosters are constantly changing," said digedu
President
and Co-founder Matt Tullman. "Integrating with Clever allows us to
deliver a
more streamlined experience so teachers can give students undivided
attention."
Clever
already
has similar partnerships in place that allow it to integrate with
Interactive Achievement, Imagine Learning and Dream Box.
Clever
CEO
Tyler Bosmeny said, "Schools should focus on teaching and learning and
not
on integrating and signing in to their applications."
The integration will become effective this month at no additional cost to current or future clients.
