Educa is a comprehensive platform that allows you to make learning visible and celebrate student success - in real-time. A positive focus builds student confidence and learning resilience – supporting higher levels of achievement.
Students can manage their own portfolio and set their own learning goals, making Educa a student led tool which helps nurture student agency within your school.
Here are the essential start up steps for a school site:
Create classes and groups
Invite teachers - assign to classes, set permissions
Activate frameworks for story linking, story template settings
Upload students and invite them to their personal profile on Educa
Train students, have them add a story to their portfolio
Invite families
Set up workflows - story approval, collaboration rules
Here is a detailed guide on setting up your school site.
