The Problem

School districts are being challenged to provide more information to parents, students, and teachers via the Internet. Parents and students desire the ability to access homework, schedules, grades, and general class information remotely from their homes or offices. In addition, teachers and administrative staff need after hours access to student records and grading systems in order to complete their assigned duties.

Details

School districts are no different than Fortune 500 companies in that the timely dissemination of information is a critical factor in how well the organization functions. School boards and district superintendents are faced with growing demands to create stronger lines of communications between the teachers and the parents. The challenge that arises is how to meet these increased demands without creating another system that burdens the educational providers, increases the cost of administration, and potentially compromise security.

The Solution

Stoneware's webNetwork is the perfect solution for school districts that are trying to more effectively communicate information and applications to parents and teachers.

Simplify - Provide parents and teachers with a single point of access to all information that will be delivered by the school district. Both parents and teachers will be presented with a single login to all educational resources and applications that they access to through the webNetwork system.


Publish - Stoneware's Document Publishing provides the perfect way for teachers to quickly and easily disseminate information to their parents and students. Within a matter of seconds teachers can publish existing documents, spreadsheet, and presentation in native or PDF format. No longer do teachers need to be trained as HTML "editors" or webmasters in order to communicate course information.


Access - Remote access to information and educational systems is critical within a school district. Often school districts maintain expensive leased lines to support a handful of user in a remote facility. With Stoneware's webNetwork small remote offices can securely access school systems and information through a browser over the Internet. In addition, teachers and specialists can have "after hours" access to systems and information that was once only available from the schools network. Teachers can gain secure access to grading systems from the comfort of their home while IEP specialist can complete online assessments from a remote location.


Report - Schools districts maintain large amounts of data from internal applications and systems. However, it is not always easy to distribute that information to parents, teachers, school boards, and state officials. Stoneware's webNetwork provides Report Services for creating and deploying secure reports from any ODBC/JDBC data source. Stoneware's Report Wizard provides an easy to use tool for building and distributing reports out of student record, grading, and attendance systems.


Secure - Most importantly any service or information that is delivered by a school district must be secure. Stoneware's webNetwork secures and controls access to all web and network applications and services. Stoneware secures all educational applications and information through SSL VPN technology.
