Covid-19 Contingency
EDClass has been designed with distance learners in mind, making it the perfect solution to teaching whilst social distancing and whilst students need the education to address the latest Covid-19 restrictions put in place. EDClass, via our distance and remote education platform and virtual classroom, impacts many different school groupings. We are proud to state that EDClass and our virtual classroom has recently been inspected and been through an OFSTED inspection and used for a Government pilot for flexible learning.

Students will benefit from tailor-made lesson plans, which mirror the work they would be doing in class. Our teachers will also support students through their work, offering your students the best learning opportunities available in a virtual learning environment.
Everything your student does whilst logged into the system is tracked, including their answers, conversations and registration points. This allows you to oversee their attendance, as well as their performance and progress over time.
