No More Either/Or.

With eChalk, you won’t have to choose between Google, Live@edu or any of the myriad systems your schools are using right now. Our open architecture approach means that you enjoy single sign-on access to your preferred applications for email and collaboration.

We’re making it easy for you to have them safe and secure, all in
one place.

Seamless Integration with ID Management and
Data Synchronization

eChalk’s intuitive point-and-click navigation allows users to move between eChalk’s personalized learning environment and Gmail, Google Docs and Live@edu. And we’re gearing up for Office365, coming soon for all K-12 schools. 

With the fully integrated platform, you will simply log into your network or eChalk, where you can:

• Update assignments and calendars that will appear on Google or Live@edu calendars — no need for
  double entry
• Click on email to jump right into your Gmail or Live@edu accounts without the need to manage multiple passwords
• Access your Google Docs straight from your eChalk
  account and share and collaborate with your eChalk classes and groups
• Use eChalk’s K-12 specific management tools to create groups and contact lists without copying and pasting into your email accounts — we’ve customized the full experience so it works precisely the way schools need it to

Access to Cloud-Based Apps from Google and Live@edu

Our back-end technology creates a seamless front-end experience for educators, students and parents. Single sign-on (SSO) allows a user to navigate from one app to another without re-entering passwords. After offering SSO for six years, we’re now moving towards universal ID management.

What’s that mean? That means you enter data into groups, calendars, documents and other resource pages just one time. Then it travels with you, making your entire experience all about you.

Our auto-provisioning and data-sync module will facilitate tightly managed integrations as we enable more personalized access to apps in the cloud. The integration of Gmail, Google Docs and Live@edu is just another step toward bringing all your learning into one place, not to mention the Google apps and Live@edu apps your teachers are already using.

Safety and Security

Only eChalk offers the right kind of K-12 security protocols to your integrated Gmail and Live@edu experience. While teachers, students and parents want the best that technology has to offer, schools recognize that these tools must be used responsibly and without concern for interlopers, viruses and other issues that technology leaders deal with on a daily basis.

Our integrated, securely managed software is built to provision Google and Live@edu precisely with your school in mind. After 12 years of working exclusively with K-12 schools, we know the policies, procedures and workflow that you have to manage. It’s what we do!
