Alma Technologies Rapidly Deploys SIS Functionality to Meet New Educational Needs
Summary
Alma built upon its existing message functionality; expanding communication abilities for teachers and students transitioning to online learning. With school closures, indefinite return dates and decentralized learning centers, it’s more critical than ever to disseminate information and engage with students in real-time. “Alma’s software iterations are a day-to-day process and we are passionate about having the unique ability to rapidly change and deploy our product plans to react to the new learning demands,” says Andrew Herman, CEO and Founder of Alma. “Alma currently features a comprehensive platform for Distance Learning, but after listening to educators feedback, our team quickly pivoted our schedule, designing and implementing a new tracking feature and link sharing functionality that can better support schools who are at various stages of impact, whether they have already transitioned to online learning or are in contingency planning.” Alma is aimed at helping bridge the gap of information between school and parents and students. Alma builds critical SIS tooling that significantly improves school operations and empowers educators to foster better student outcomes.
