Chapter 6

School and Campus Infrastructure

Behind every classroom app is a layer of software that few teachers think about and no institution can run without: the student information system that holds enrolment, attendance, schedules and grades; the learning management system where assignments live; the rostering and sign-on services that connect hundreds of apps to the right students; the device-management and safety tools; and the finance and HR systems that run the organisation. This layer is less exciting than classroom software and much more durable.

The preview ends here. The full chapter is in the book.
