A software packed full of all your needs but be ready to adjust and take some time to acclimate
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I use Infinite Campus to input grades, daily attendance of students, contact logs, and to print report cards. I also use this software to access parent contact information as well as other important information about individual student behavior, custody arrangements, medical information that is necessary for me to know, etc..Infinite Campus is a hub that allows the business I work for to have all student data, both academic as well as personal, in one specific location.
Pros
- Has all components necessary when addressing the particular areas of content needed for school staff.
- Has a basic structure to it where it is somewhat easy to use and operate within.
- Infinite Campus has a wide range of possible places to locate student and data information, allowing it to be the main source of use for a teacher like myself.
Cons
- Infinite Campus has a non-intuitive software, which could be more simplistic and user friendly.
- Infinite Campus has a non-inviting/an unwarm color scheme/font display/theme/background
- This software could make it more easy to identify the categories in which specific webpages are available.
Most Important Features
- Attendance
- Roster
- Grades
Return on Investment
- Infinite Campus has allowed me to easily take attendance no matter which device I am using.
- This software has been very tedious to navigate when looking for infrequent data that is not necessarily needed very often such as ELD levels and how to find the progress report option.
- Infinite Campus has demonstrated an inability to perform easily on all devices when going from one student's personal roster information to the next.
- This software has enabled me to easily set up grades for each specific content standard/skill when assigning one specific grade to the entire class, because it is the average grade, and then allowing me to specifically go in and change the outliers on these grades.
