Blaine, Minn., Oct. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Infinite Campus, the most trusted name in student information, is excited to announce that Schoology, a leading learning management system, is now a Grading Services Partner. This partnership provides districts and schools using the Infinite Campus student information system with a connection between Schoology and the Campus Grade Book for real-time assignment score passback.
Both Infinite Campus and Schoology are IMS Global Certified and meet their OneRoster standard for securely sharing class rosters, assignment data and scores between systems.
“As the first student information system to be OneRoster v1.1 Grading Services API certified, it’s important that we partner with other IMS Global certified vendors,” said Charlie Kratsch, Infinite Campus CEO and Founder. “We’re excited to be working with Schoology and offer this seamless integration to customers.”
Teachers using Schoology for their learning management system will benefit from assignment score passback by eliminating duplicate data entry. When teachers update scores in Schoology, they will be reflected in their Campus Grade Book.
Dr. Barry Brahier, Product Manager for Teaching and Learning at Infinite Campus, said this partnership will make teachers’ work day easier. “Helping teachers by connecting tools they use the most saves them time and reduces errors,” he said. “The partnership allows teachers to spend more time teaching which aligns perfectly with our corporate mission of Transforming K12 Education®.”
“This new integration with Infinite Campus greatly benefits our many joint customers,” said Jeremy Friedman, CEO and Founder of Schoology. “Schoology has always promoted industry wide interoperability standards, and the new integration with Infinite Campus removes integration roadblocks for districts so that they can focus on personalizing the educational experience.”
Infinite Campus and Schoology will be piloting the integration with selected districts during the 2017-18 school year with release to all customer districts planned for the start of the 2018-19 school year.
