Edsby For Analytics

Beyond simple system analytics

Most edtech systems show system usage, i.e. system analytics. Edsby goes beyond. Optional learning analytics provide insight into student achievement.

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.

Dynamic insights

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.

Role-based permissions

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.

Detailed insight into any student’s academic progress

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.

Educators can use Perspective Analyze to understand learning trends in their classes, even against standards/expectations.

Manage care for students

Students at risk, or that might benefit from extra care, can be grouped together in Edsby for special educator attention. Edsby Monitor Groups, a long-established and appreciated feature of Edsby, can be set up as desired by educators.

Loop in stakeholders

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.

Meet in Edsby

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.

National scale with Unison

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.
