Scot Ed vs Evisense (UK)

Welcome to Scot Ed - the education app for Scotland for iPhone and iPad! This is the most direct way for your school to provide you with rich, timely and relevant information. You can read it there and then, browse it later, respond if necessary, or simply use it as a reference source when out and about. All straight from your phone. News Blogs, website news, newsletters, Twitter, video, pics of the pupils at work and play and key documents are all collected in one place on the app. They will be sent to you by push notification alert so you won’t miss them. Events Calendar Having the school calendar on your phone is a lot more accessible than the one pinned to the fridge and more accurate too as it’s automatically updated regularly. Use the Add To Calendar feature to add priority events for you to your personal calendar. Alerts Select yourself into whichever groups you most want to hear from to ensure you receive letters home, reminders, late bus announcements, forms, accounts of the day, newsletters and much more. You are in control so there’s no more being bombarded with everything or feeling left out of the loop. Photos and Video Pictures tell a thousand words and video a million. Watch them when the school sends them out, then again with relatives next time you see them. Key Information All the everyday school information you need to know collected in one place - menus, contacts details, timetables, uniform requirements, key dates, who’s who, curriculum information, exam timetables, legal policies, procedures documents, handbooks - all easily accessible in one place. What can’t be housed on the app can be easily reached from it via embedded links to further reading or copyright or password-protected sites or apps. Forms and surveys No more need for paper or emailed forms which are a bore to fill out and return. Now you can reply directly on the app in 10 seconds if you’re in a hurry or at more length if not. Snap surveys are shorter and more to the point than online ones and equally easy to fill out and return.

The latest version of Evisense is a complete rebuild from the ground up. We have added over 50 new features to make Evisense even more powerful and more will follow. Evisense is now more than just an evidence system, it is now a school-parent communication hub with more than 15 different post types.
