All in One Solution

In-App help

We've created “just in time” how-to information for end users while they are actively using the application. For example, teachers can access instructional videos on the spot if they need help taking attendance, setting up grade books, submitting grades, adding discipline information, and more.

Implementation Videos

In addition to hands-on training for districts implementing SchoolTool, these videos walk users through setting up their SchoolTool site, accessing maintenance areas, scheduling, and more. NYS districts that are not RIC-supported are able to freely share these videos with their end users to help onboard everyone interacting with the SchoolTool product.

“I love the in-app help feature. I've always trained my teachers that when you're stuck somewhere in SchoolTool, if you're having an issue, hit that little question mark and it'll bring you straight to the help for that particular module for that screen that you're on. I have found it to be a big positive that help is readily available.”
