Odysseyware Integration App

After several months of work, we now have a working integration app with Odysseyware using their available API. You can check it out in our App Store:

Odysseyware integration with QuickSchools

This particular integration app works differently from our other LMS integration implementations (like Schoology and Canvas). For Schoology and Canvas, QuickSchools is treated as the source for all Roster elements, like students, teachers, sections and even section enrollments. Only grades are pulled from the LMS into the QuickSchools Gradebook. However, since Odysseyware is also a Curriculum Management System, we treat Odysseyware as the source for courses and section enrollments too. So after mapping students, teachers and sections from QuickSchools, we will pull both section enrollments as well as grades from Odysseyware into QuickSchools. So what does that all mean?

In summary, once the app is installed and linked, the flow of data is as follows:

Online Manuals (Beta)

We’re testing out a new Online Manuals feature, and putting it in our App Store as a FREE app. Eventually, we’ll be moving this feature into the main QuickSchools system. But we’d love to get your feedback before we make the final transition.

To install the app, just find the Online Manuals app on our App Store (as an administrator, of course), and click “Install”:

Once installed, the Online Manuals app will be available to all users.

So what the app does is filters the available articles taken from our QuickSchools Support Site, and displays only articles relevant to the user, based on the modules that the user has access to. This should make it easier for users with limited access (like teachers, students and parents) to view only the articles that they need:Read More »
