Ruler: building teaching and learning around your users
In every school, primary or secondary, maintained or academy, the use of tools like those in Office 365 or in G Suite for Education is central to teaching and learning.
Every school must have a way to create, manage and remove users giving them access to email, documents and online storage. Staff and students join and leave all through the year and their data must be properly protected. Your users must match the official system, your MIS.
The role of Ruler
Ruler enables the data from a system like Capita SIMS to create and update users in Active Directory and then Office 365 and G Suite for Education. You can be sure that the users in your systems are accurate and up to date. This supports a key responsibility under the General Data Protection Regulation.
This integration creates opportunities to find efficiencies. A simple, but powerful, example is putting timetables into students’ Outlook or Google calendars.
Taking integration further
With Ruler and Office 365 you can:
- Create a powerful hub to manage homework and assignments
- Create collaborative spaces for students to work together
- Organise and distribute learning resources
- Engage parents by sharing information securely
