PowerSchool Learning 3.0

Why use PlayPosit in PowerSchool Learning?

1. Single Sign-on: Instructors and learners are never prompted to enter a separate email, username or password to create or view content.
2. Auto-sync course data: PlayPosit manages learner-course relationships, eliminating the need to manually create courses or upload rosters.
3. Auto-sync grades: Learner grades are synced immediately with the PowerSchool Gradebook at the end of a bulb. As well, instructors can access the rich analytics from any PlayPosit link within PowerSchool.
