E-Learning - Integrates with Moodle & Blackboard
Download PDF on E-Learning Management System from Focus/SIS
E-Learning management is easy with Focus's advanced technology. We integrate with leading E-Learning tools like Moodle and Blackboard. When students are added or removed from a course in Focus/SIS the student record is automatically added or removed from the appropriate E-Learning system. Course materials can even be copied from term to term or year to year with a single mouse click.
-
FLEXIBILITY TO DELIVER ALL KINDS OF CONTENT - Administrators and teachers that use the robust E-Learning system can deliver any file type to students. Many Focus/SIS clients have provided Kindles, Netbooks, and iPads in school.
-
SINGLE SIGN-ON - Administrators, parents, students and teachers sign-in through Focus/SIS (or LDAP) and do not have to sign in again to access the E-Learning management system.
-
DISTRICT-WIDE PACING GUIDES THAT TIE TO STATE REPORTING or COMMON STANDARDS - The E-Learning system allows districts to create district-wide pacing guides for a grade-level or particular course and then have that information displayed to the students and/or parents when it is the appropriate time. The pacing guides and all instructional materials can be aligned to learning standards.
-
ONLINE QUIZZES - Teachers can offer students online quizzes that are graded automatically. Depending on the E-Learning system, the results of the quizzes can be sent to the gradebook without human intervention.
-
DISCUSSION FORUMS - Teachers can create secure online discussion forums that only members of their class can access.
- EXTERNAL MATERIALS - Educational institutions from around the globe publish high-quality materials for use in E-Learning solutions. SCORM and IMS are two standards used to make content available in any E-Learning platform. A teacher (or district administrator) can download material from sites such as the MIT Open Courseware Project.
-
PUBLISH MATERIALS INTERNALLY - Design great materials at the district level and publish those out to teachers at the schools. The teachers can modify the courses as necessary, but materials related to the core course concepts are only a click away.
When describing Focus to another district, I tell them that it is user-friendly, very intuitive and that the company is always adding functions that meet teachers needs.

We are happy to use Focus/SIS. As a new school, we were nervous about choosing a student information system. Focus/SIS has been a great choice. The responsiveness of the Focus team, trainings, troubleshooting and assistance has made using our SIS a breeze.

The parent portal has been a huge success in getting parents involved in their child/children's education. Parents are very pleased with the ease of the program and ability to view all their children with one logon.

The program is very user-friendly. If I do run into any problems, I simply pick up the phone or email tech support and I get a response in a timely manner. Everyone at Focus has been very helpful!

Personally, I don’t think you need a lot of training with Focus because it is so easy to use.
