Edsby Adds Teams and Zoom Integration
Edsby, a learning
management system designed for K–12, has released an update that
adds support for Zoom and Microsoft Teams video, whiteboarding and
chat.
The new feature is called EdsbyLive. It adds a button to the teacher
view that allows them to “go live now.” According to Edsby,
“These buttons launch online meetings and make them available only
at the time a teacher has requested it, and only to students in the
class. If configured by the district, only authenticated users may
participate in meetings, and only with their real names, minimizing
the chance of unauthorized intrusions.”
Edsby said plans are in place to add support for other online meeting
platforms in the future but did not indicate which ones would be
next.
