Schoology
Schoology is a web-based learning management system (LMS) to create online courses with the use of multiple resources like videos, texts etc. Teachers can assess students, provide feedback, and then follow them when resubmit assignments to demonstrate growth. Schoology is integrated with Google and Microsoft. It is also possible to strenghten the relations with families by creating parents groups.

NB: As from august 2020 the free version of schoology for teachers is suspended because of the increase of users due to Covid-19
Examples of application:
Teachers can create and assign a lot of creative tasks, which students can access through the website as well as through iOS, Android, and Chrome apps. Schoology can use a variety of assignments, such as links to course readings, embed videos, even discussion posts that will engage students in productive conversations. There are also many ways for students to demonstrate learning, like completing quiz or test questions, uploading images or audio, or uploading project files. Teachers can create assessments and track student performance using Schoology’s built-in gradebook. It’s fairly flexible, allowing teachers the option to grade by points or percentages.
