co-operation & collaboration

A school or college community comprises more than just students and teachers, and Edumate™ Learning & Management Solution has been designed to promote communication throughout the whole community, across school management, administrators, teachers, students and parents. The solution incorporates a complete communications suite, including:

Email tools. Email addresses can be established for all users across the community to facilitate secure communication.

Web access to schools'/colleges' designated sites. Users can access educational sites recommended by school management and teachers to expand their knowledge, interest and contextual understanding of subject specialisms.

On-line discussion forum. Groups of students and teachers can discuss assignments, ask questions, seek opinions in a secure environment, either within a class/school, or even across groups of schools. The use of an on-line discussion forum to supplement class discussions can include absent students or those who lack confidence to contribute actively or ask questions in class. In addition, when combined with the on-line availability of lesson plans and resources, Edumate™ creates a unique opportunity to offer minority subjects to students across schools, enhancing students' opportunities for personal development and learning.

Personalised student views. Each user can view information which relates to them directly from Edumate™'s central database, enabling students and parents to view timetables, calendars, task lists, assignments, achievement, email, contribute to relevant on-line discussion groups etc.

The full functionality of Edumate™ can be accessed securely from any computer linked to the internet, which enables more flexible working and studying, such as homeworking for both students and teachers, and access by parents including those situated long distances from the school or college.
