Edline?

General Discussion
1

Does anyone else’s school use Edline? It is a website where every student and parent has an account, and teachers will post announcements, grades, quizzes/tests, projects, and documents on it. It also acts like a Dropbox, so users can submit documents to the teacher. Teachers can also use the calendar to post the syllabus/homework. Ideally, a student could miss a day and make up all work with ease.

Some of my teachers posts all of the notes, and the textbook pages of the homework assignment. You technically don’t even have to show up for class!

Yes although I don’t use it.

3

My school uses Edline.

It’s useful when I want to find out my grades, not my parents. :x

Urban Dictionary: edline The Urban Dictionary has an entry on Edline; be sure to check it out.

4

Haha sneaky

5

We have a similar thing. Grades are run through a thing called Tyler-SIS, and there’s a thing called a parent portal where I can track my downfall.

6

The name “Edline” sounds cooler.

It is such a good idea that a lot of money is put into, but very few teachers actually use it the extend that they should.

7

My school district relies heavily on Infinite Campus (which is a cooler name than Edline 8) ) for grades, attendance, fines, contact info, and other things. Many teachers use TurnitIn.com for assignment submitting. For everything else (teacher/school/etc. websites, document libraries, etc.) my district uses Microsoft SharePoint (recently replacing SchoolCenter).

Teachers at my school hardly update edline that is why I don’t even have my account set up

9

Infinite Campus seem to have a lot more features than Edline. The only time we use turnitin.com is for essays, so it can check for plagiarism. Most of my teachers also don’t update Edline often, which is very irritating.

10

Infinite Campus is pretty costly though. If I remember correctly, my district spends several hundred thousand dollars on it every year.

11

I know on edline you just see your grades and hw not what you got on a test or any thing

12

Wow that is a lot of money… why dose it cost so much?

13

There is A LOT of student and teacher accounts, along with administration/guidance/etc accounts. All of those accounts, and all of the schools connected to Edline will require a lot of server power and storage.

I had to take a Spanish quiz on Edline at home ALL THE TIME. Now school is out in my area. :smiley:

14

My school is out too woohoo summer here I come 8)

15

My High School uses Pinnacle but they started using it the year I graduated so I only used it for one year.

My college (CCRI) uses MyCCRI, and some of the instructors also use individual sites that we have to log into with the book to give us assignments and grades.

16

I was talking with a tech that works at a school district, and I heard Infinite Campus quoted $365,999 for the first year. :shock:

17

Well, to be fair, Infinite Campus can do a lot in addition to the stuff that I already mentioned.
For example, our log in information for anything associated with the shool district (computer accounts, WiFi access, Google Apps Login, etc.) is controlled through Infinite Campus. It’s pretty advanced software.

18

Edline is trash compared to Infinite Campus. I just wish principals would require to teachers to use it more often.

19

My district uses infinite campus too. When you go to a blocked website, at the bottom of the page it says Powered by Infinite Campus.
