As the COVID-19 pandemic calls upon many schools and districts to continue distance learning, Follett has responded.
As the COVID-19 pandemic calls upon many schools and districts to continue distance learning, Follett has responded to educators’ needs by adding new convenient features to its student information system, which serves more than two million students throughout the United States and Canada.
Follett Aspen® Student Information System has developed several enhancements for distance learning, including:
Moreover, Follett Aspen® SIS customers are benefiting from the convenience of having Follett Aspen® SIS integrated with the market-leading Follett Destiny® Library Manager.
“Teachers can add resources from the school library to homework, while students can search the catalog, in person or remotely,” said Britten Follett, Executive Vice President, Follett School Solutions.
She added the integration is included in the system and, when combined with the Follett Aspen® SIS online gradebook and student portal capabilities, enables schools to provide immediate and flexible distance-learning opportunities, including online homework for independent reading and research.
Follett Aspen® SIS safely and securely hosts and manages student data, such as class schedules, school events, student performance, athletic eligibility, and individual health records. A mobile-friendly, one-stop application for teachers, administrators, and the school community, Aspen also allows educators to closely monitor student progress, implement new curriculum, and conveniently communicate with parents.
