Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) in Orlando, Florida, is the 10th largest school district in the United States. The district encompasses approximately 200 schools, serving 185,000 students, 12,000 teachers, and 25,000 employees. With an extensive library of online applications, OCPS sought to efficiently manage and deliver digital resources to its students and staff, supporting its BYOD and 1:1 initiatives across various devices and platforms.
With the growing shift from print to digital resources, OCPS faced the challenge of delivering its extensive library of online applications to 200,000 students and staff members. The lack of a centralized solution for managing and accessing resources led to inefficiencies and inconsistencies. The district needed a single, reliable platform to provide seamless access to learning tools from school or home, on any device.
OCPS issued an RFP to secure a single sign-on (SSO) solution, ultimately selecting ClassLink after a competitive evaluation. Through close collaboration between the OCPS and ClassLink IT teams, ClassLink implemented a centralized portal that integrated the district’s digital resources and file access using Active Directory. The ClassLink engineering team enabled SSO technologies such as LTI, ADFS/LDAP, oAuth, and SAML, providing staff and students with secure and streamlined access.
ClassLink’s platform supports OCPS’s BYOD and 1:1 initiatives, ensuring access on any device, anywhere. The solution includes a customized mobile app for iPhone, iPad, Chrome, and the web, further enhancing accessibility for the district’s diverse user base. With ClassLink, OCPS successfully unified access to its vast digital library, making resource management and delivery efficient and reliable.
ClassLink has been a calming force at the beginning of the school year rush. We have been able to quickly give our students and teachers access to content and move on to other important parts of the work that has to be done to educate students.
