On this episode of MarketScale’s EdTech podcast, host JW Marshall was joined by Crux Solutions President Gale Moericke at TCEA 2020.

Crux Solutions focuses on providing clients with seamless technology systems designed to improve every aspect of their work and collaboration.

In the education industry, this translates to provider and equipment-agnostic design services for the technology that helps drive school buildings and consultancy for school districts that helps them find an ideal solution for their unique needs.

Marshall and Moericke also touched on the common shortcomings that often pop up when districts are planning large-scale installations, particularly in the realm of safety and security.

“What we’ve seen is way too much of, ‘Oh, we’re going to go buy this technology because the guys down the road bought it, and it seems like a good idea.’ Most people have picked something – ‘Video cameras, I guess we should have video cameras,’” Moericke said. “Well, of course you should … (but) how does that fit into a larger plan?”

This big-picture approach helps Crux find total solutions that fit the desired scope, budget and functionality of specific districts and schools.

CoSN tells school districts to plan for adoption before they buy new tech

CoSN tells school districts to plan for adoption before they buy new tech

CoSN's 2026 Blaschke Report and companion toolkit give K-12 districts a plan for technology change. Its main point is timing. Districts should define the problem, the success measure and staff workload before procurement, then run rollouts through change champions and a council that reviews significant technology changes.

  • 01CoSN’s toolkit pushes planning before procurement: define the problem, affected groups, timeline, and success measures, and account for competing initiatives and implementation fatigue.
  • 02The toolkit urges leaders to account for competing initiatives and implementation fatigue before procurement or a districtwide rollout.
  • 03After launch, districts should track adoption indicators, review feedback and help requests, keep refresher training going, and conduct a post-implementation review.

Copyleaks says Classroom reach spans most K-12 and higher ed

Copyleaks says Classroom reach spans most K-12 and higher ed

Copyleaks says its Classroom integration reaches most K-12 and higher ed LMS platforms. Copyleaks says Instructure recently named it a top-tier strategic sales partner, and it describes a partnership with D2L Brightspace that broadens access for colleges and universities. For schools, key choices include billing on the LMS invoice and AI Sensitivity settings that align thresholds with policy.

  • 01When nearly nine in ten students use AI for schoolwork, the sensitivity threshold a school sets in Copyleaks works as its AI policy, written in software.
  • 02Copyleaks says the integration brings it to learning management systems used by approximately 80% of the K-12 market and 95% of higher education institutions. That is the ceiling on who could turn it on, not a count of paying schools.
  • 03Before scanning against Copyleaks' Shared Data Hub, institutions decide whether student papers join a pool shared with other institutions. The API can limit comparisons to the school's own submissions and permanently purge documents.
