Miscellaneous or Specialized Systems

Specialized & Emerging Systems

Specialized and emerging systems address important school needs that do not yet fit neatly within a larger technology category.

This collection provides a place to evaluate focused tools, new service models, and locally specific applications without losing sight of core requirements such as educational value, interoperability, privacy, security, accessibility, support, and total cost.

What these systems support

  • Niche instructional, administrative, operational, and community needs
  • Pilot programs, emerging technologies, and locally developed solutions
  • Evaluation of fit, evidence, risk, integration, sustainability, and support

Note: SDLA does not endorse or resell any of the systems listed on this site.

ActivityHero

Product Details

Overview

ActivityHero helps districts manage expanded-learning enrollment, rosters, attendance, communications, and reporting in one platform. Families can enroll students in programs across sites, while staff can maintain current rosters and record attendance from desktop or mobile devices.

Enrollment, attendance, and program participation describe different stages of expanded learning. School and program staff reconcile rosters and daily attendance across sites while coordinating family communication and reporting. Participation reporting depends on which students were enrolled and expected at a session. Program leaders and school data staff reconcile those dates and identities before using attendance totals.
