Peninsula School District 401 was seeking to enhance its digital learning infrastructure. The district faced challenges in managing accounts, automating processes, and optimizing resources, which were key to ensuring a smooth and efficient learning experience for students, staff, and teachers.
The district's internally developed account generation tools were inadequate for the growing demands of education. As Executive Director of Digital Learning Kris Hagel stated, "We needed a solution to replace [our] portal and help with account automation and generation.”
Managing and automating student, staff, and teacher accounts was time-consuming and error-prone, leading to inefficiencies and hindering access to online resources. The lack of insight into app usage also made it difficult for the district to make informed decisions about resource allocation and budgeting.
In response, Peninsula SD 401 adopted ClassLink's suite of products to modernize its digital infrastructure. LaunchPad offered a user-friendly portal, simplifying access to online resources for students and teachers.
Roster Server streamlined account creation and management, reducing administrative burden and ensuring secure data management. Hagel praised the security and interoperability of Roster Server, saying, "In its infrastructure and the way it's built, Roster Server protects your data by default and supports all of the major protocols necessary to work with all the vendors.”
OneSync automated account generation, saving valuable time and improving efficiency. Integration with Zapier allowed the district to automate tasks like creating Google Drive folders, leading to significant time savings and reduced administrative load.
Analytics provided valuable insights into app usage, helping the district optimize its budget by identifying resources that were actively used and justifying spending decisions based on real data.
By adopting ClassLink, Peninsula SD 401 transformed its approach to managing resources and supporting its digital learning environment.
The array of options for the value you get, the amount of time-saving it has brought to our district can't be matched with any other edtech tool we've had.
