We have been a Schoolbox school for 5 years now and have enjoyed our experiences with them.
What do you like best?
As a company Schoolbox always want to know the ideas and needs of their customers, and base their roadmap and development around this feedback. This is important as schools know they have a voice in the direction of the core platform that educational institutions are so heavily invested in. Schoolbox integrates with a range of different platforms that we use including Synergetic, GSuite and Digistorm, this integration is highly effective for our school operation.
What do you dislike?
We would like to see Schoolbox move to more seamless Cloud hosting, this is a relatively new area and we acknowledge that there is work to do in this space. Our teachers would like a more advanced search function. Storage can be an issue due to the amount of large files, content and duplicates that staff upload. Being able to delete multiple files in the Resource Booking area would be beneficial. There have also been limitations in the way that we would like to run early commencement.

Schoolbox is a well rounded L.M.S. with good integrations to Schools Information/Management Systems.
What do you like best?
Schoolbox has well formed user groups and community plus active help channels and availability of technical support.
What do you dislike?
Schoolbox will continue to improve as the variety of School Information / Management Systems continues to grow.

An effective LMS that meets the complex needs of our environment
What do you like best?
Integration with our Student Management System is quite comprehensive and out of the box, requiring little customisation.
What do you dislike?
Customisation work can be difficult to achieve, or not timely enough, given it is generally user base driven

Schoolbox has been a vital component of the digital transformation of the School
What do you like best?
We implemented Schoolbox back in 2010 and so I have enjoyed almost 10 years now working with the team there, in what has become a true partnership. We love that they have built the product out based on the requirements of their users, that it continues to evolve and they work alongside their users to respond to their needs, something most 'out of box' solutions won't do.
What do you dislike?
Least ...they have had some great developers we have worked closely with over the years and so it's always hard to see them move on, so that's my least favourite thing, but given they all move onto bigger and better roles it could also be seen positively, as to me it shows that Schoolbox invests in it's people.

It is a well integrated package that affords a consistent branded approach.
What do you like best?
I enjoy the simplicity to engage with the software and the depth of analytics it provides me.
What do you dislike?
I would like to colour code Course, Unit and Class pages to make it clearly identifiable for all staff.

Focussed on needs of the k-12 education sector....
What do you like best?
Integrated approach of news feed, curriculum, assessment...everything required in one place for all users in the school community.
What do you dislike?
Admin functions not intuitive - superusers can spend significant time looking for what they require. Some limitations in resource browser and response / easy of managing folders.

Innovator in the field of virtual education, with three legends at the helm.
What do you like best?
The ability to capture all components of school life in one software package. From learning to management and tracking of NCCD, Schoolbox provides innovative solutions to contemporary questions in education and if they don't currently have a solution, they are open and willing to pursue an adjustment in order for the software to best serve the client.
What do you dislike?
Excited about the movement of ePortfolio to the Primary Project. This will help move us forward as a school.

Excellent All-in-one LMS Product that is easy to use and integrate with our SIS
What do you like best?
Schoolbox is an all-in-one platform including a powerful Learning Management System, easy to use communication tools and community engagement functionality. This means that all of our users are connected in one central place with quick access to the information which is relevant to them.
What do you dislike?
Now that we have so much information in our instance we are finding that some of the components are a little simple for our needs However we do acknowledge that with every update release, they are becoming more advanced.

Its a great tool for K-12 schools to use for combining an LMS and communications platform.
What do you like best?
I think the data analytics that can be extracted from the platform are hugely useful, the ability to access information within 3 clicks is very important and its a great comms tool to reduce email noise.
What do you dislike?
There is nothing that is not to like about this product, the team are continuously looking at ways to improve the platform to make it better for schools to use. Particularly its development in the rubric space has been fantastic.

Schoolbox is a very good product with huge functionality. The company understands how schools work.
What do you like best?
The Schoolbox community is excellent. The company has established a culture and framework that is very effective in supporting learning through collaboration. I have found the regional user forums and annual national conferences to be excellent. The design reflects a deep understanding of how schools operate and it functions very reliably. Schoolbox is a sophisticated yet relatively simple tool to manage complexity in schools.
What do you dislike?
The greatest challenge with this software in our first year has been the training aspect around the 'course builder' component. In particular, teacher understanding of the relationship between 'course builder', 'course outline' and importing classes and course outlines. Related to this is the process of submitting assessment with course builder.

Schoolbox provides the flexibility to add value to schools in a range of key areas.
What do you like best?
Schoolbox has the flexibility to incorporate a broad range of functions for schools from news and announcements, to class learning functions, assessment and continuous reporting options.
What do you dislike?
Documents searching can become unwieldy after some time and depends on care in naming conventions, rather than document text searches. The assessment process, while improved with the new self-reflection tools, still presupposes an online submission of work which is not typically the case for most schools currently.

A leading learning and teaching, connection/collaboration tool in the industry.
What do you like best?
It is always evolving and stayed true to its objectives in enabling student's learning in the digital age, curriculum delivery in an efficient and effective manner, and configurable to maximise end user experience using systems administration features/tools that are simple to use but to great effect, etc.
What do you dislike?
Nothing to add here ..........................................................................................

They are a valued, innovative and reliable partner to The Scots College.
What do you like best?
In a nutshell it covers two birds with one stone for Scots. It's our LMS (Learning Management System) and our Intranet/Portal for communications to all campuses (8) and users. Most other educational software packages are either/or whereas Schoolbox is both and both core areas are great for Scots (well developed). That's it...oh and it's intuitive and simple to manage and use. Uptake is quick for all students, staff and parents.
What do you dislike?
Not much I can put here. I like it. They could focus on completing some of their modules a little better but most of them are great. It gets better and better with every update.

We deliberately chose Schoolbox because we formed the belief that it would fit our needs.
What do you like best?
We love that it is able to be adapted to our context and that it is both an LMS and a Portal.
What do you dislike?
I'd love it if it were easier to extract school reports in printable formats.
