Schoology provides an enterprise level learning management system and configurable social network. Instructors and students can easily create, share, and manage academic material through a social networking interface.
By incorporating learning management tools into a social environment, Schoology provides a means for teachers, students, parents, and administrators to seamlessly communicate and collaborate on academic issues.
Teachers/administrators can quickly import courses, users and enrollments via a simple import wizard. The system comes fully functional for all users – no computer programming knowledge necessary. Administrators have access to a suite of administrative controls that truly makes Schoology an enterprise level system.
And it’s free! The standalone Schoology LMS is free for both individuals’ teachers as well as for entire schools or districts. Please note that some add-ons such as custom branding, data integration, dedicated support and professional training are not free.
