The educational system’s evolution is pronounced and significant. From one-room schoolhouses to virtual, cloud-based classrooms, how students learn has certainly changed over the years.

One thing that has remained constant throughout this evolution is the usefulness of data. These insights paint a picture of students’ strengths and weaknesses, the effectiveness of programs, each teacher’s ability to communicate, and even the emotional states of students. All of these are measurable thanks to data.

With web-based educational software and appropriate security and privacy safeguards in place, schools can integrate data from different applications to help create a productive learning environment for current and future students.

Why Web-Based Educational Software Is Necessary

Desktop-based, or native, software operates on a specific device (e.g., a tablet, Mac, or PC) and has administrative control over the instrument. For example, think about the scenes from “The Office” when Pam is playing Solitaire. The game fills her entire screen, and she has to click several buttons to get rid of it and bring her work-related programs back to the screen.

Meanwhile, web-based virtual learning tools like Google Suite, Asana, or Lessonly are accessible on any device with internet capabilities. One critical element of web-based programs is that they’re self-correcting, meaning they can release updates that fix issues or bugs immediately. This feature allows users to access the latest features and minimize risk.

We developed Integrate School as a hybrid learning software accessible via app or website that streamlines the administrative process. IT administrators needing a resource to complement their efforts will see the following benefits:

• Customization: IT administrators can access Integrate via app or website, depending on how they want to use it. An app can curb potential distractions for students, while a website enables administrative approval for downloaded software. In either case, there are fewer concerns about deploying, maintaining, and updating software.
  
• Simpler Troubleshooting: IT admins have to jump into action whenever a software issue arises in a school building or throughout a district. Web-based educational software like Integrate School minimizes how often admins must intervene when teachers have problems that require administrative passwords.
  
• Clearer Communication: Educators can coordinate end-user support. They can connect directly with the software vendor, reducing the time needed by an IT department to triage software issues. IT admins only need to review and maintain centralized software to get their jobs done.

We envision that web-based software will be in higher demand as IT professionals realize these applications effectively integrate technology into the classroom. Our web-based educational software houses your school’s software on a single platform, which means more time and data can go into helping your students succeed.

Education certainly has evolved, but the goal of learning remains the same.
