Schoology manages curriculum, assessments, grading and other classroom management tasks and is also a communication platform for teachers and students in K-12 and higher education. In traditional, online or blended classrooms, Schoology improves learning outcomes not only because of its ability to manage and integrate resources but also in helping teachers evaluate student mastery on educational standards.
