Communication and Engagement

Communicating and engaging effectively with staff or students could be the single most important task within every organization. 

It’s something that everyone needs to do multiple times a day, yet it’s easily done badly or not at all.   Lack of engagement with staff leads to tasks being overlooked and for students it can end with poor retention.  A failed student is a failure for everyone.

Communicating and engaging effectively with staff or students could be the single most important task within every organization.  It’s something that everyone needs to do multiple times a day, yet it’s easily done badly or not at all.   Lack of engagement with staff leads to tasks being overlooked and for students it can end with poor retention.  A failed student is a failure for everyone.

Two things are a given for life in a modern school; everyone is busy and everyone wants to have access to the information that’s important to them.  Often the second point causes the first, with students constantly contacting school departments asking for routine information, adding to the workload of already busy staff.

Who doesn’t regularly hear “But I sent you an email!” or “I texted you about it about it yesterday” – important communication is easily missed when it arrives in multiple places across different departments and gets lost alongside photos of cats and discounts for pizza. 

Not only that, communication often needs to be secure, confidential, and verifiable – can any of us say that applies to email and SMS where messages can easily be read and deleted at a swipe of a finger without a trace being left behind?

Communication and Engagement for all

Edular’s communication and engagement features reach students and staff wherever they are. From a handy push-notification-reminder of upcoming lessons or tasks, through to fully secured private direct messaging.

Automated tasks are never forgotten, events and activities never get missed and conversations are not overlooked – everything happens in one location whether logged in via a desktop, laptop, mobile or tablet.
