EDClass Seats: Reducing Workload & Engaging Children

How the EDClass Seat System Improves Learning

EDClass’s seats aren’t just about assigning spots in a digital classroom. When you buy a seat with EDClass you can use the content internally for all pupils in a range of areas that can impact your establishment.

The seat facility enables any pupil that is offsite to access the fully safeguarded, teaching and support platform which includes the managed service and review team externally to impact every pupil possible.

It’s a powerful tool that helps schools optimise learning, save costs, and prioritise student safety.

How it Works

Think of EDClass as your school’s virtual building. Each seat is like a desk in a classroom. You can move and alternate seats within your organisation for each pupil mapped to their needs and your curriculum.

Each EDClass seat is like a special pass or ticket that gives your school access to our online learning platform and our team of UK-qualified teachers for your students.

The EDClass seat allows for pupils learning within the UK borders and the British Isles to access a bank of online QTS staff to supervise and support their engagement and learning. A pupil’s webcam and microphone must be on at ALL times to adhere to current safeguarding (KSCIE) and attendance guidance in accordance with EDClass Supervision.

"Learning activities at EDClass are undertaken live. Teachers, who all have qualified teacher status, supervise pupils following pre-determined sequences of engaging lessons that build on what they already know. These lessons are constructed using a wide-ranging library of well-crafted video resources and recorded lesson materials, created by EDClass teachers."

Flexible Access for Multiple Students

When a student finishes a session, they 'leave' the seat, and another student can take their place. Each EDClass seat is not tied to just one student all day. The current user of a virtual chair in our online classroom is determined by the educational establishment.

You can have different students use the same seat at different times during the day (just not at the exact same moment). Our staff will be there to teach and keep an eye on whichever student is logged in on that seat. This helps you save money and use your resources more effectively.

Extra Learning Materials for Free

When you buy a seat, you also get free access to all our lessons, learning activities, pathways, and ways to check understanding.

You can use this for homework, helping students catch up, independent work, covering lessons when a teacher is away, revision, getting ready for exams, detentions, and work for students who are ill or being reintegrated back into school.

Your teachers can even use this content in your isolation and inclusion units.

Live, Timetabled Lessons

The student using the seat will have access to live lessons with our teachers throughout the school day (9 am to 4 pm UK time).

These happen in different parts of EDClass, like EDLive (live teaching), EDTeach (follow-up seminars), EDSupport (on-demand help), and EDNurture (well-being and SEND support).

Safe and Monitored Learning

Every student using an EDClass seat is on a fully safe platform that is recognised by Ofsted and the Department for Education through our EDSafe module.

We have our team watching what's happening live, and your own teachers can see what your students are doing on their screens too.

Curriculum That Fits Your School

The learning on the EDClass seat is set up to match what your students are learning in school, using your own curriculum plans.

More Teacher Support in Units

If you want our EDClass teachers to do even more direct teaching and interaction in your isolation and inclusion units, you can also look at our EDInclude module.

An EDClass seat provides flexible access to live, online teaching and a wealth of learning resources, all within a safe and monitored environment that works with your school’s curriculum. You can rotate students on these seats throughout the day to maximise their use and your budget.

Take the Next Step

Pupils using EDClass have access to live supervision, support and teaching under a fully safeguarded learning environment within their timetable hours.

EDClass also ensures the necessary safeguarding and supervisory protocols are followed by the pupil’s educational establishment which conducts safety and wellbeing visits, links to the home/school WAN IP address taken from the router of the network being used, geotagging using what 3 words, regular home visits, and pupil reviews.

A significant strength of EDClass is the oversight of pupils’ well-being and safeguarding. Leaders have established robust systems that allow their knowledgeable staff to check continually on pupils’ welfare and engagement with learning. Consequently, staff respond swiftly and appropriately to any concerns they identify.
