Is it possible to Sync Google Classroom from an MIS?

[RootsSchImp]

Hi hivemind,

 

I've had an enquiry about whether (and which bits) of google classrooms it's possible to update from an MIS. Looking around I've seen references to 'Gsuite directory sync' but I can't find a clear outline of what it does. I know there are some CSV import options but I'm looking for a solution for a primary that doesn't have a ton of spare admin capacity so I'd really like to automate at the very least the student names/groups. They're using Bromcom but I'd be interested if anyone's done this for any MIS.

 

There's a thread from a couple of years ago about how this is just about to happen - anyone use Google Classroom/made any progress?

 

Thanks

 

Ed

We use SalamanderSoft to sync our Google Classroom with SIMS and Active Directory. https://www.salamandersoft.co.uk/

Oo that could work, thanks, does it pull the school calendar out as well, or just pupil stuff?

Pulls calendar too. Does too many things to mention. Normally you ask and they make it happen. You can also write back to some MIS systems (Ours is SIMS not sure about BROMCOM).
