It is responsive and highly adaptable and is built upon a deep understanding of what Australian schools need. > > **Cons**: The App just needs to scale a little better for iOS devices > > While recent circumstances surrounding moving classes 'online' have been challenging, our school's situation has been helped significantly by the use of Schoolbox; we have had so much positive staff engagement with Schoolbox and staff have really apprecaited what the platform can do to help them to be better teachers. This is a comprehensive and responsive LMS product. Please pass on our thanks to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and the team\! ----- ### "SchoolBox Review" — 5.0/5 > **Greg** | *4 November 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The ease at which the software can be configured, customised and used. The drag and drop style of adding components is something end-users are able to do themselves. It is an off the shelf prodcut purchased that was able to replace a number of bespoke, complicated solutions previously used. We had rapid on-boarding of staff due to it's ease of use. > > **Cons**: There is nothing specific we dislike about the software, they all have there quirks and sometimes the way things are done don't always suit how users want it to work. > > SchoolBox has become our Learning Management System, our staff Intranet as well as our communications portal to our parents and other community stakeholders. ----- ### "Transformational software for schools" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *31 October 2019* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Love that it is mobile responsive, clear communications to parents, students and staff. Powerful grader, markbook and reporting platform. DB that can be read from for analytics. > > **Cons**: User provisioning can be a little bit of an unknown as to why certain things happen or don't but this is being addressed by the developers. > > The developers respond to client and industry demand when building new features, they don't always just cave into the squeaky wheel but help them understand why it might be better to go in a different direction. They are always open to feedback both good and bad and have a great support desk. ----- ### "Schoolbox - the LMS for Citipointe" — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *11 November 2019* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like the ease of use for students, staff and parents. Customisation of the dashboard for various audiences. Relative ease of management for staff and administrators. Powerful communications tool for community. Allows students access to curriculum and extra-curricula information anywhere, anytime. Allows the College to provide relevant messaging to parents. > > **Cons**: Permissions structure does not always allow full administrative control. eg. sometimes easy for staff to accidentally delete an item which requires Schoolbox to restore. > > We love that Schoolbox listens to its clients and strives to implement those features schools are chasing. An agile company that is adept at setting and communicating its priorities to clients, whilst staying true to its core business. A reasonably smooth implementation and roll out over the past couple of years, and looking forward to working with Schoolbox well into the future\! ----- ### "A useful integrated virtual learning environment" — 5.0/5 > **Katie** | *11 November 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Smooth Live Integration with our Student Information System (Synergetic) Customisable - we branded and named it using our colours, etc. Support is very good Embedding video and google slides particularly useful. All required pedagogy tools are there. Easy to make visually interesting > > **Cons**: The Course management is difficult for an average user to understand so really requires top-down control. > > Schoolbox has been a positive rollout at our school. Three years in and all teachers and students are using it daily for class and assessment work. A lot more collaboration happens between teachers and with teachers and students. Support has been very strong and the Schoolbox Meetups for customers have been useful and well-planned. We are about to add parents in as users and are looking forward to using even more of the softwares, capabilities. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/154876/schoolbox?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/154876/schoolbox) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
