Can teachers continue using Google Classroom without learning OpenEduCat?

Absolutely. Teachers create assignments and grade in Google Classroom as usual. OpenEduCat syncs that data automatically so administrators see consolidated reports without requiring teachers to change their workflow.

How often does data sync between OpenEduCat and Google Workspace?

You can configure sync frequency from real-time webhooks to scheduled intervals (every 15 minutes, hourly, or daily). Most institutions use a 15-minute interval for roster changes and real-time sync for grades.

Is student data secure when syncing between systems?

All data transfers use encrypted OAuth 2.0 connections. No student data is stored on third-party servers. It flows directly between your OpenEduCat instance and Google servers. The integration complies with FERPA and COPPA requirements.
