Poorly designed for teachers, students and parents – Schoology Review

I want to like this app. The intent behind it is great, but as others have mentioned, the app does not enforce standardized use, assignments don’t appear to roll through a meaningful workflow, the interface is clunky and difficult to navigate, etc. This app is adding a huge layer of stress to our family’s remote learning. One hour, it will appear that my child is failing a course, and then the next hour, she has 100%. It is an absolute nightmare. As a parent, I don’t feel like I can trust it to give me accurate information about my child’s progress, and my child struggles to stay organized across the multiple courses. It’s been more of a hinderance than a help. The app would benefit from major retrofitting by trained UX professionals, and school districts need better training on its features and intended functions/use cases.
