What is "edsby"

Edsby is a cloud-based software application that blends social networking with class and student management. It is a learning management system with data aggregation features and analytics intended to promote engagement between K-12 students, teachers and parents, and provide simplified workflow and insight for school and district administrators.

Edsby, originally named CoreFour, was founded in April 2010 by the three original founders and architects of the FirstClass software application–used widely in education and often identified as the first modern learning management system–along with a longtime co-worker. It offers K-12 school districts an array of online social learning tools connected to their existing legacy systems, including gradebooks, attendance-taking, parent-teacher communication features, content management and social classroom interaction.

In March, 2015, the company announced educational researcher Dr. Michael Fullan had joined its board of directors.
