Edsby Capture is a streamlined way to upload pictures and short videos into Edsby, the innovative all-in-one digital learning and data platform for K-12 schools and regions. If you're a teacher, this app is optional; you can already capture learning evidence in the standard Edsby app. Use Edsby Capture as a fast way to get large numbers of pictures and videos into the Edsby evidence system from a busy classroom. Students can use Capture themselves, even from shared devices, if you, the teacher, allow them to. If you’re a student or parent, download this app only if your teacher has asked you to. You’ll need a special QR code from your teacher before it will do anything.
