The Education Suite from All Covered encompasses four solution areas.
Instructional and Interactive Technologies
Focused on driving results at the point of instruction, All Covered now offers a robust curriculum content management and delivery solution from PassTheNotes. This all-in-one solution for content and collaboration unites cloud storage and curriculum content management in a device agnostic solution. It serves as the missing link in many one-to-one and bring your own device (BYOD) initiatives, even when the school has implemented other solutions such as Google Apps.
To enhance the digital learning experience, All Covered has partnered with Hapara to provide customers with tools for managing Google Apps for Education. With Hapara, teachers gain the visibility they need to improve student outcomes and schools have access to an affordable digital learning environment that is easy to manage.
All Covered will continue to provide the entire suite of education solutions from Promethean, including interactive whiteboards, tables and student response systems. These best-in-class solutions use the most innovative technology to provide ease-of-use in the classroom environment and are proven to increase student engagement, participation and achievement.
Back Office and Student Information Systems
All Covered has partnered with SchoolBrains, a leader in data-driven student information systems (SIS) that offers educators one place to manage and analyze critical student and personnel information. SchoolBrains allows administrators to quickly and easily manage and view all the information about a school's classrooms, teachers, students and assessments in one intuitive dashboard. All Covered also offers the full suite of Konica Minolta document management solutions that help with the management of educational documents and digital content.
Advanced Analytics
All Covered helps schools leverage the data they already have by using advanced analytics and turning the data into actionable knowledge to help meet educational objectives. Through a new partnership with Tableau Software, All Covered now offers advanced data analytics that provide administrators with a dashboard for a single view of critical "At Risk" situations such as drop out and college preparedness.
IT Services
