Founded with the vision to use technology to streamline processes in school communities and improve learning outcomes.
What initiatives are you working on currently
Compass is currently focusing on our data and analytics modules, providing staff at schools with advanced analytic tools to view and react to behavioural and learning trends across their school.
What are the benefits for educational establishments using your product/s
Offering an ecosystem of 35+ modules specifically designed to reduce administrative burden, improve learning & assessment outcomes, all while fostering a cohesive school community, and simplifying school management.
What products/solutions are best suited for teachers/academics (schools or universities)? How will these products/solutions help educators become more effective?
Feedback we have received from our Teachers is that our gradebook and behavioural functions have allowed them to engage directly with students easily, while monitoring the behavioural issues that may be affecting each students academic performance. This has allowed teachers to take a more personal approach to each student's learning outcomes, increasing their engagement with the subject.
How has the current pandemic affected how you operate / what have you had to change? What lessons did you learn?
Compass became the third largest online platform in Australia during the first 12 months of the pandemic. Emphasising the need for the staff, students and parents to have easily accessible and reliable Edtech systems through uncertain times as we have seen in the last 12 months.
What do you think the top EdTech trends do you see emerging this year
We believe there is a continued push for analytics across school data. Ability to track and compare data such as Attendance, Wellbeing & Academic.
