The central hub for modern education.
Forum unifies your LMS, SIS, gradebook, and student wellbeing tools into one seamless platform — natively integrated with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. No middleware. No migrations. No compromise.
Three things no legacy system does.
Forum was built from scratch for how teachers actually work — not retrofitted from a 2009 gradebook platform.
Social Classrooms
A River of News that flows with purpose.
Every classroom gets a live, chronological feed — teacher posts, pinned resources, district-wide announcements, and emotional check-ins all in one place. Students engage. Teachers see who's present, attentive, and thriving.
- Real-time Emotional Check-In tally with anonymous aggregation
- Pinned resources and announcements with read receipts
- Direct teacher-to-family messaging built in
- Moderation controls with district-level policy enforcement
Panorama Student 360
Every student's full story, at a glance.
Click any student name anywhere in Forum and the Panorama panel slides in — current grade, attendance trend, a timeline of teacher observations, risk alerts, and family contact history. No tab-switching. No second system.
- Unified academic and attendance history in one timeline
- Automated risk flagging with configurable thresholds
- Teacher observation log with rich-text annotations
- Parent/guardian contact log with response tracking
Native Interoperability
Google and Microsoft, not bolted on.
Forum doesn't use middleware, webhooks, or third-party sync tools. Google Classroom assignments appear in your gradebook with a native G badge. Microsoft Teams assignments sync with a native T badge. Grades flow both ways — automatically.
- OAuth 2.0 direct integration — no credentials stored
- Bi-directional grade sync: Forum ↔ Google Classroom
- Bi-directional grade sync: Forum ↔ Microsoft Teams EDU
- Rostering via Clever, ClassLink, or direct SIS API
