	Blackboard Learn by Anthology	Schoology Learning
Considered Both Products	Anthology, Inc Verified User Chose Blackboard Learn by Anthology Blackboard is the all around better fit for our intuition. It provides the "bells and whistles" we require in having a diverse faculty and flexibility in course delivery. The "bells and whistles" aren't cheap, but we have found that budgeting for this large expense has been … Incentivized Helpful? Lori Riegel Alumni Representative at Arizona's Children Association (E-Learning, 501-1000 employees) Chose Blackboard Learn by Anthology I have used Schoology before, and I think Blackboard Learn has many more features, and is easier to navigate. It is well organized, and easy to customize for each user. Schoology might be better suited for a mobile device, but when the mobile version of Blackboard is not up … Incentivized Helpful? Eric Lech Instructional Technology Coach at Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Blackboard Learn by Anthology I think Blackboard has become a middle of the pack LMS with more user friendly options like Canvas and Schoology currently available to K-12 schools. While there are many robust features, the typical K-12 teacher and student needs a more user friendly interface and a faster … Incentivized Helpful?	PowerSchool Group LLC Tiffany LoSasso Digital Teacher Librarian at Jeffco Public Schools - Colorado (Primary/Secondary Education, 10,001+ employees) Chose Schoology Learning As mentioned before, Schoology has a lot more capabilities than Google Classroom.

Assessments are better; guardian views and information; communication with our Student Information System; Better organization … Incentivized Helpful? Sheila Majask, MLIS History Teacher & Social Studies Curriculum Leader at Chippewa Valley Schools (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology is well supported and is easy to use. It might not have all of the features of a larger LMS like Blackboard or Moodle, but that is also what makes it easier to use. It does not have the "scroll of death" that you would experience with Edmodo. Content is organized … Incentivized Helpful? Amy Westby High School Counselor in Professional Services at International Schools Consortium (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology is a blend of most online programs. In areas of assigning work and grading, it does really well. In terms of having an intuitive classroom to navigate, other programs are better. Incentivized Helpful? Jherlyn Lopez Teacher in Professional Services at White Plains (E-Learning, 501-1000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Although there are other good platforms for managing online classrooms, we did not find these as robust and were not as user-friendly in terms of interface, and their ability to connect to other online education platforms. It is also the best available platform for connecting … Incentivized Helpful? Garrett Derr Teacher at SDOL (Education Management, 11-50 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology is a much more user friendly platform. It provides teachers and students the platform to work together. To name a few, schoology has excellent assessment capabilities. It allows us to provide feedback and timely advice! Incentivized Helpful? Erika Muller English Teacher at Byron Center Public Schools (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology has far more options than any of the above three as far as communication, dissemination of information, and assignment and test updates and tracking. Moodle was fairly primitive in its design; Blackboard is a bit clunky in its use, and, while Google Classroom is … Incentivized Helpful? Eric Chamberlin Director of Digital Learning in Information Technology at Salem Public Schools (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning I chose Schoology for the ease of use from the administration/back end to the users. Incentivized Helpful? Dan Talvi Teaching Assistant at GST BOCES (Primary/Secondary Education, 501-1000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology provides a much more user-friendly experience for students and instructors while providing most, if not all, of the same functionality of Blackboard. In addition, Schoology adds additional social experiences that encourage student collaboration inside and outside of … Incentivized Helpful? Bryan Brutto Director Of Administration at Avon Grove Charter School (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Schoology Learning We choose Schoology over other platforms based on its UI design, its cost per user, and its ambitious roadmap for future development to support students and teachers. Incentivized Helpful? Sean Coffron Instructional Design in Information Technology at Contractor (E-Learning, 201-500 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Google Classroom is like Schoology-Lite. Both platforms have similar resources and can link to SIS, but Schoology is more versatile, more dynamic, and more comprehensive. Incentivized Helpful? Julie Hopp Educator, Technology Coach in Information Technology at Romeo Community Schools (Education Management, 1001-5000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology is easier and more robust then any other learning management system I have ever used. It is also available for free to teachers that has almost all of the features available. Blackboard was terribly user unfriendly. Canvas was too limited for me. Moodle was only … Incentivized Helpful? Philip Pulley Teacher at Fieldcrest CUSD #6 (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology no longer provides all of the features of Canvas for a lower cost. In fact, as someone who now uses both LMSs, at different jobs, I can no longer recommend Schoology as features are disappearing and support has become almost worthless. Incentivized Helpful? Crystal Hurt Teaching and Learning Coordinator at Educational Service Unit 10 (Professional Training & Coaching, 51-200 employees) Chose Schoology Learning I've either been a student or teacher in each of the products listed above. Schoology is, by far, the easiest yet most comprehensive platform. While several of the products have similar features, the layout, look, and navigation within Schoology create the best user experience. … Incentivized Helpful? Aaron Lee Assisstant Principal in Customer Service at COLUMBUS MUNICIPAL SCHOOL DISTRICT (Education Management, 51-200 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology is definitely top shelf, head and shoulders above the rest! Incentivized Helpful?

Hope Elliott Instructional Technology Coach in Information Technology at Lowndes County Board of Education (Education Management, 201-500 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Other LMS that we reviewed did not have the same functionality. Many times they were not as intuitive, or took many more steps to complete tasks. Also the cost was better when you factored in what you got and who could use it. Many LMS would not work well with younger … Incentivized Helpful? Ariel Margolis Director of Makor, Director of Online Learning, Instructional Designer in Information Technology at Hebrew College (Higher Education, 51-200 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology is more robust than Google Classroom as it can track student progress and connect University criteria to student objectives. It has more capabilities than Blackboard. Incentivized Helpful? Jo Patton Elearning Developer in Information Technology at The Archbishop Of York Youth Trust (E-Learning, 1-10 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology's community of teachers is huge and built within the platform which means you feel supported from day one in the platform.

Online Professional Development Consultant in Professional Services at Falcon School District 49 (Education Management, 501-1000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology outperforms all other learning management system platforms.

Matthew Mcarthur Virtual School Facilitator at Aldine ISD (Education Management, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning I've chosen Schoology as a learning management system due to its enormous complexity paired with equal simplicity.

Carol Lawrence Instructional Technology Integration Specialist at San Juan Unified School District (E-Learning, 5001-10,000 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Our District has used Moodle, Blackboard, Google Sites and Schoology.

MJ Linane Teacher at Old Rochester Regional School (Primary/Secondary Education, 11-50 employees) Chose Schoology Learning Schoology beats all of their competitors, hands down.
