365 Primary School Pupil Setup

[cooper]

Hi,

 

I work for a primary school that uses Office 365 for Staff.

 

We are looking at ways for pupils/parents login to get home work online.

 

Is 365 a good solution or is it best to have a separate platform.

 

Thanks for any advise

Do you have a Volume Licencing Agreement for Office - and does this allow your students to have Office 365 accounts?

Its the setup of the administration that will prove to be tedious - keeping track of parents email addresses etc. There has been talk of systems that will tie the school MIS system to Office 365 (for Google and Office 365) - which I think is common in the states - but MIS systems are varied here - so I'm not sure how that might work for everyone. It will help if you are a wiz are sharepoint - but yes in theory it could be done. In practice - I'd want a year of 6 month sabbatical to set it up.
