Schoology, the education technology company that puts collaboration at the heart of the learning experience, today announced that Indianapolis Public Schools (IPS) has chosen Schoology as its new Learning Management System (LMS).  The contract will make Schoology available to more than 26,000 students among the 60 schools within its district.

In search of an LMS partner who could serve their needs, IPS initiated a competitive request for proposal (RFP) in August, 2015.  After narrowing the field, Schoology proved the unmatched choice to aid the institution in its effort to streamline workflows and create new efficiencies.  Schoology’s automation of routine tasks will allow teachers to focus on creating engaging curriculum, helping students achieve their academic goals.

“While researching various LMS platforms, we knew that we needed to find a technologically sophisticated partner that could meet the demands of all IPS stakeholders for a collaborative learning interface,” said Laura Larimer, IPS Information Technology Officer. “In Schoology, we have a partner that can address our needs, today, as well as our evolving demands.”

Schoology’s CEO, Jeremy Friedman said, “As a company dedicated to continuously advancing what is possible in education, we often find that people select Schoology for its ease of use, advanced communication and collaboration offering that aid in a holistic learning experience. We are excited to partner with Indianapolis Public Schools and we welcome them to the rapidly growing list of Schoology clients.”

Schoology connects the people, content, and systems that fuel education in a platform that’s so easy to use, it’s second nature. The platform offers educational institutions time-saving course management, assessment management, in-depth analytics, and flexible standards-based integrations that make it simple to connect other systems. Schoology also provides native mobile apps so that faculty can manage their classes on the go, students can stay connected on any device and parents can stay engaged and connected to their students’ progress.
