A quick peek into a Junior School classroom and you discover the challenges of password management for young students. To help teachers manage this challenge we have provided the ability for teachers to print QR codes for students. The QR codes can be scanned with an iPad, mobile phone, Chromebook or any device with a camera. The device will then automatically launch a browser and authenticate as the student. The landing page can be configured to ensure the student starts in the correct location to start capturing evidence or complete tasks.

Ensuring your school community is connected and engaged is more important than ever. The new group management system will allow users to find and discover areas of interest, with more ease than ever before. While making it easier to find groups, we have also made sure you can protect groups to prevent the wrong people from joining in on the conversation. Once a member of a group, you can now control notifications and your quick links with ease.

At the end of each semester you can now save a student's achievements to their permanent record - with the ability to download a batch of PDF generated reports for each student in a year level or campus. The report can be customised to provide either an overall summary, or a per class statement. Like the existing online continuous report it can include assessment results, comments, rubrics and cohort graphs. It can be configured to include exactly what you require to ensure that only relevant information is included in the final report.

In order to allow our customers and our partners to do more with Schoolbox we are constantly evolving our API interfaces. With this release we now provide a complete user management API. This will allow you to manage your Schoolbox users via your own in-house system. The API includes searching, updating, creating, deleting and managing group memberships.
In addition we have a new assessments API endpoint that will provide details about assessments and student feedback. This can be used to connect Schoolbox to your SIS, analytics or reporting platforms so you can further utilise assessment results that have been published inside Schoolbox.
For more information on our APIs and detailed instructions on how to work with them please visit our API documentation.
