Schoology alternative

Looking for a Schoology alternative?

Schoology is one piece of PowerSchool's suite. SparkMentis is one system for coursework, exams on paper and screen, AI marking and school records.

Why schools look past Schoology.

  1. 1

    Exams in one place

    Write, sit, scan, proctor and mark without moving between products.

  2. 2

    AI marking that explains itself

    Suggested marks with reasons, released by teachers.

  3. 3

    A school, not a district

    One deployment per school, set up the way that school works.

Online exams and proctoring

Watch the moments that matter, not three hours of video.

Students share their screen; it's kept on their device in a rolling buffer. Only the times they leave are cut, uploaded and summarised for you.

What you keep

  • Courses and assignments
  • Family access
  • Attendance with the coursework
  • Reports and exports

Why SparkMentis wins

  • Exams end to end in one product: AI papers, paper scans, proctoring, practicals.
  • AI marking with reasons, part by part.
  • Student-to-student plagiarism checks built in.
  • One deployment per school, with your own words and switches.
