For schools and districts, ed-tech downtime is an all-too-common reality that disrupts teaching and learning. But at Hillsborough County Public Schools, the eighth-largest district in the U.S., teachers and students enjoy near-constant uptime. Edsby, the district’s purpose-built learning management system (LMS) that connects students, teachers and parents using modern technologies, today released data revealing 99.98 percent uptime and significant utilization of the system in the first half of the 2014-15 academic year.
The results are a significant improvement from Hillsborough County’s previous system and stand in stark contrast to acknowledged struggles other LMSes have in staying online consistently. Data shows an average of 100,000 Hillsborough students, parents and teachers login to Edsby at least once a week. The Edsby Hillsborough system serves an average of 20 million requests every school day, with an independently measured response time averaging only 280 milliseconds. The amount of Edsby data served daily to Hillsborough users alone would create a stack of lesson plans and assignments as tall as a 43-floor building every day.

“Based on sheer numbers and scale of the operation, Hillsborough County is one of the most significant enterprise software deployment successes in K-12,” said Steven Asbury, vice president of engineering at Edsby. “The district can manage a massive amount of information and has shown that the LMS contributes to parental involvement and academic achievement. Students, parents and teachers are very clearly using the system, unlike other programs which end up as shelfware.”
Hillsborough County has also seen a significant increase in student participation and online grading as teachers leverage the LMS’s social learning features to interact with students and input grades. Usage data shows that 47 percent of logins are from mobile platforms and that students are taking advantage of new BYOD policies by constantly using Edsby from their phones, iPods, tablets and laptops.
