Very flexible and adaptable. Constantly adding functionality to make the lives of my 1000 daily user easier and better. Have been customer for over 12 years and in fact am one of the original users from the opening of the X2-Aspen SIS.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS? Would like to see a better module to share ideas and functionality between different districts. We have something now......but there can be a fresh approach to this. Good things is if it makes sense, Aspen usually finds a way of getting stuff into new releases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Follett Aspen SIS: As a daily user for over 12 years, Aspen has yet to make me even consider a need to switch.

AH Anthony H. Teacher of Mathematics Education Management Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/27/2015 "Aspen" 1/5 What do you like best about Follett Aspen SIS? There is not a lot that I like about the Aspen SIS. The ability to export csv files is convenient, I think that's about it. It could be possible that I do not have a deep understanding of the system, because I don't have access to many of the features that are listed on the following page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS? The interface feels very outdated. Nothing seems to be integrated. Almost every interaction feels complex and unintuitive. I'm assuming that expanding the to have the features on the next page is expensive because my school has chosen not to do so. No iOS app and the mobile version of the website is very difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Follett Aspen SIS: Find something that is more user friendly and integrates in a more seamless manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Follett Aspen SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Keeping attendance and grades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that you do not have to mark students present, you only have to mark them absent. I also like to keep up with grades and I can enter them anytime. The SIS we used to use could only take grades at the end of the marking period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS? Sometimes the system does not work and we have to send a note to the office, this is very rare. With grading, it is not easy to give all students the same grade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Follett Aspen SIS: My recommendations would be to go to trainings on Aspen so that you can learn all the features. It is difficult to learn all of the features on your own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Follett Aspen SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? We are solving the technology issues that we have had at our school. The office can now see attendance after teachers enter it. Teachers can now enter grades at any time instead of keeping a paper grade book. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Features like student photos, ability to view student schedules in various forms, ability to merge with other programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS? Setting up to post grades is cumbersome. If a teacher has many "independent study" students, they can't be combined into one class - so attendance takes a long time to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Follett Aspen SIS: Check that all teachers will use all the features instead of using other software platforms and just using Aspen for attendance and grades. It has a lot of great features that many don't use for lack of knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Follett Aspen SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Student records are available - because I use this and Follett Destiny, student library debts are visible in Aspen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Attendance works very well using seating charts for input. Seating charts are easy to update. Grading options are very useful and adaptable to my.grading system. I am able to input assignments easily and assign them to other sections without any extra work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS? Pages log off too quickly. It's for security, but a normal class length of 45 minutes or so would be more convenient. Also attendance options should include "late for class" in a different format than tardy for school. For example, I often have first period students who are late to my class, but not to school. At present, I have to e3mail the dean or call them to update students marked tardy to school, but only late to my class. Also, an entry to log in when students who are dismissed from school leave my room Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the organization of the grade book attendance etc. I love that I can link classes together instead of having to add the same assignment to multiple classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS? I dislike that I cannot click a student's name in my grade book tab and get the same info I would get if I clicked their name under the students tab. I also dislike that I cannot click on an assignment and add in a comment, for example if the assignment is missing I could click and write in "student was absent for assessment needs to make up by dec. 1". I also dislike that I cannot type in a comment when it comes to progress or term grades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What is great about Aspen is that all your grades are in one place and parents can access their son/daughter's progress at a regular basis. Individual student schedules can be accessed as well as personal information on every student. Allergies have a symbol that appears near the affected student's name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Follett Aspen SIS? Aspen doesn't always calculate grades properly. There can be a discrepancy between online computations and those done with a calculator. Furthermore, many parents in my school often have much difficulty accessing the site and they become very frustrated. When looking to print quarter grades for students, the teacher has to make sure that he/she selects only the quarter that he/she wants since the default is always quarter 1. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Follett Aspen SIS: If you are going to use this product, a representative from the company has to be available to give extensive training on the program. It would be best to have that training a few weeks in to the school year when a teacher has grades that can be entered. After over three years, I still have to contact our program administrator to try to help me fix glitches that arise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Follett Aspen SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Online grading is essential for teacher and parent monitoring of student grades. It leads to more transparency and if a student is showing many zeroes due to absence or work not done, both teacher and parent can be aware and help the student to rectify the situation. Attendance is also monitored and gives the district a picture of each school and its rate of absenteeism on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
