Schoology, the partner of Rex Education for its Learning Management System, will allow you to transition better to your face-to-face classes.
The education landscape has been forever changed by the pandemic. As we
continue to champion education and believe that it evolves and transforms
lives, we can expect more and better changes in the future.
Rex Education’s Schoology Will Level Up Your Face-To-Face Classes
The new normal
Being in the now new normal, going back completely to the way we were does not
encourage evolution nor transformation. We have explored so much, stretched
our capabilities, challenged old norms, and persevered and persisted. We are
moving forward. We take with us the learnings, technology, and innovation of
the significant last 2 years and integrate them into an evolved version of an
education continuity template, our shield, for the 21st century.
With schools getting ready to transition back to face-to-face classes, Rex
Education reminds educators that there are many tools and best practices from
their distance learning setup that can help them level up students’ learning
experiences inside and outside the classroom.
Schoology is one useful and impactful tool
Schoology is one of the very first learning management systems (LMS) made
available to teachers and students to continue their teaching and learning
from home when schools were forced to close temporarily in 2020. Because of
the demand for LMS during that period, REX expanded the reach of Schoology and
the wealth of resources available on the platform. Thousands of teachers and
students are now using Schoology as part of their online and distance teaching
and learning modalities.
“When we introduced Schoology to the Philippines in 2015, we had an idea in
mind that the digital classroom is the classroom of the future. That’s why
when the pandemic broke out, we were ready. Schoology created an avenue for
seamless learning, without compromising our learners, and playing to the
advantage of our learners being digital natives. Today, the digital classroom
is the classroom of the now normal.” said Rex Education CEO, Don Timothy
Buhain.
Schoology is the digital classroom of today
Returning to face-to-face classes does not mean leaving behind the best
practices we have learned from online and distance learning. Schoology was
originally designed to augment and enhance the traditional learning setup, not
completely replace it, making it the perfect platform to provide 21st-century
learning experiences needed to transition students in the now new normal.
Technology cannot be an add-on; it’s a necessity. Flexible learning is not a
privilege or an advantage; it’s also a necessity. Certainly, future-proofing
our classrooms, although it cannot be perfected, is a reality.
To date, the transition is ongoing and many schools are in different stages in
their choice of learning modalities that will fit their learners’ needs. Some
may still be designing or experimenting, and some others are already
strengthening what they have.
Having a trusted partner grounded in
sustainability, flexibility, and technology is key in making the transition as
smoothly and efficiently as possible. Backed by more than 70 years of
expertise, Rex Education and Schoology could be every school’s ideal partner
for the 21st-century classroom.
Schoology makes synchronization seamless. Since many schools have been
employing a hybrid learning setup where students go to school in schedules or
batches, using Schoology as the primary LMS for each class ensures that all
students—both on-site and off-site—are on the same page.
Assessment made easy
In addition, assessment is made easier with the automated test scoring and
consolidation of results through Schoology’s Grade Book. Analytics are readily
available for teachers so they may adjust their materials based on the class
performance, while parents are able to monitor their children's progress
throughout the quarter and the academic year.
Moreover, classroom management and communication are centralized in the
platform. Students, teachers, and parents can also monitor the student
workload through Workload Planning, and they can be reminded of deadlines
using the platform’s Calendar function.
Schoology can be accessed via the browser on PC and laptops, or on mobile
phones and tablets via the app. As an all-in-one learning platform, it comes
packed with features like Personalized Courses, Calendar, Messages, Dropbox,
Online Tests, Integrated Apps, Groups, and Grade Book.
“Our partnership with Schoology is just one of REX’s many efforts to fulfill
our promise that we go where the learner goes. Our learners’ needs and
circumstances are always changing, always evolving; and it is our duty as
Edukampyons to be on the cutting-edge of educational innovation so our
products and services are always relevant to the 21st-century learner,”
revealed Buhain.
