Clever is a service that schools and vendors like Let's Go Learn use to connect districts' student information systems (SIS) to educational vendors. Clever acts as an intermediary data system. It connects hourly to a district's SIS system in order to keep a current copy of information on students, teachers, rosters, and school administrators. Let's Go Learn then syncs nightly with Clever so that its copies of a district's classes and rosters are no more than a day behind. In addition, schools are able to log into Clever and one-click into multiple vendors. This reduces the need for students, teachers, and administrators to remember multiple logins and passwords. But this single sign-on (SSO) is optional. Not all deployments will use SSO. Clever offers its services free to districts. But it charges each vendor wishing to connect to a district a fee per building.
When schools are using Clever to sync with Let's Go Learn, the addition of students must be done at the source SIS of the school district. Once students are added to the school/district's SIS, Clever will sync it to the Let's Go Learn system.
