Barriers to Effective Digital Learning

Staff and IT leaders at Frontier Central School District were frustrated with the time spent on login issues, forgotten passwords, and manually rostering students into digital resources. These challenges hindered their ability to focus on enhancing instruction and empowering students with technology.

From Frustration to Freedom

Dr. Richard Hughes, Superintendent, recognized the need for a comprehensive single sign-on and rostering solution to overcome these barriers. After introducing ClassLink in 2017, the district gained instant access to programs, apps, and files from any device. ClassLink's single sign-on solution simplified logins for students and staff, while Roster Server automated the roster management process, saving the IT team significant time. Dr. Hughes was impressed with ClassLink’s ease of use for both end-users and administrators, as well as the valuable usage analytics it provided.

As a result, Frontier Central School District has been able to regain meaningful instructional time for teachers and ensure students have the digital resources they need for learning.

Superintendent Rallies Behind ClassLink Solution at 3 New York Districts

The Challenge

Dr. Richard Hughes is fully aware of the barriers to digital learning. Richard served as Superintendent at three districts in New York and regardless of where he was employed, staff and IT leaders were overwhelmingly frustrated with the amount of time spent on login issues, passwords being lost or forgotten, and the headaches associated with manually delivering class rosters.

Choosing ClassLink. Again.

After serving as superintendent at two NY school districts; Georgetown Otselic Valley and Central Valley, Dr. Richard Hughes felt compelled to introduce the ClassLink solution at his new appointment as Superintendent for Frontier Central. To his satisfaction, ClassLink was already “in process” when he arrived. Dr. Hughes remains impressed with ClassLink’s ease of use, both for end-users and admins, and has enjoyed the ability to get usage analytics on the go, providing valuable insights on how often the district resources are used and by whom.

The Outcome

Since launching their ClassLink in 2017, Frontier County Schools has been able to provide their users instant access to the programs, apps, and files they need to learn from anywhere and any device. ClassLink Roster Server removed the requirement to manually upload rosters, saving their IT team a tremendous amount of time.

“From a Superintendent perspective, a single sign-on solution that allows you to see what software and tools the kids are actually using and how often they are using it, reveals if every tool in the toolbox actually has a purpose.”
