Edsby’s breakthrough learning analytics capabilities enable educators to find trends in achievement data and identify at-risk students in near real time across an individual school, group of schools or a whole school district or geography. Find exactly what you seek… right within the same system you can use to actually take action on findings.
In conventional data warehouses, academic data must be imported periodically. Edsby provides near real time insight using data up-to-date to the day before.
Edsby can serve as the primary store of academic information across a district or region—where everything having to do with student success can be collected and normalized. Data comes from Edsby, and with additional professional services, from other LMSes, gradebooks or any other historical sources.
Standalone systems often only offer insight to a select few data specialists in a district, through whom data requests must be funnelled. Edsby analytics use the Edsby permissions system synchronized with district or region databases. Teachers see information only on students they currently teach. Principals and office staff only see info relevant to their school. Regional officials can access information across the region.
When a parent calls, the Edsby Panorama can show a school principal everything at a glance: a student’s current classes, grades, performance against standards, attendance, schedule, teachers’ observations, student workload, whether they’re getting assignments in on time, discipline records and more.
Edsby’s analytics use Microsoft’s Power BI visualization system to provide dynamic, living dashboards with filtering and drill-down. Edsby provides a set of ready-made dashboards, and with additional professional services can generate custom dashboards and enable sites to generate their own.
Only in Edsby can teams of educators work together so effectively using real-time trends and insights to collaborate on student success.
Students at risk, or that might benefit from extra care, can be grouped together for special educator attention. Edsby Monitor Groups, a long-established and appreciated feature of Edsby, can be set up as desired by educators.
Edsby enables teachers to communicate privately with students and/or parents, and/or fellow teachers or guidance counsellors. Observations allow educators to make confidential notes that only other educators with permissions can see.
Edsby Groups enable teachers to collaborate online when their schedules allow and serve a place to assemble resources. Connections to popular videoconferencing systems enable realtime meetings.
For large states and provinces or national governments, Edsby’s Unison education data platform allows policymakers to assemble and query education data across their jurisdictions, regardless of what systems it was previously siloed in.
