Elementary experience - parent guide (enterprise)

Schoology offers an elementary experience that displays courses and content in a more simplified format that is engaging and easy to use for young learners.

The elementary experience offers the following features:

• Simplified course layout and navigation.
• A more visual and engaging experience.
• Students can draw, record, photograph, annotate, and more to submit their work. The elementary experience allows students to take a photo, record audio or video, upload a file, type, and submit to the assignment.

Let your child's teacher know if the elementary experience doesn't display for your child's course.  

Using the elementary experience

The elementary experience offers a focused, engaging, and efficient course layout. Students get the most important content as individual cards on the main page. This includes a streamlined navigation menu, folders, and course materials. The navigation menu provides access to My Activities and course apps, with materials arranged in a full-page format.

Teachers can add images to course materials and folders to help your child navigate the course and identify tasks to complete.
