ANNUAL SURVEY RESULTS

2022-02-02 00:00:00 +1100

image-right The team at uEducateus would like to once again thank all schools who responded to the annual survey in 2021.

Our team has analysed some of the data and we are very happy that our schools have rated us very highly. We are currently looking at the suggestions that schools provided.

Information you may find helpful!

Welcome back to classroom learning!
Returning to School in 2022 – what will it look like? We are all feeling the impact of the last 2 years.

The team at uEducateUs understand times have been challenging throughout the pandemic and it looks as though schools may remain open throughout the year.

To support our wider school community, we have included three links on our main web page that Teachers and Parents may find useful in relation to students coping with the pandemic and returning back to school.

Hard-working schools!

2021-06-04 00:00:00 +1000

image-right

We commend our hard-working schools during remote learning for doing such a great job. uEducateUs is however currently experiencing a high volume of traffic on our server. We have our technicians working hard for you to rectify the issue.

Welcome back!

2021-01-11 00:00:00 +1100

It’s the start of the new school year and we’d like to welcome everyone back.

We’ve written tutorials to help government and private schools start the new year ready for students and classes.

End of year EduHub and office shutdown

2020-12-21 00:00:00 +1100

New resources and system updates

2020-10-08 00:00:00 +1100

The Victorian Department of Education has been hard at work getting schools ready for the return of in-person learning.

uEducateUs have also been working hard on a new online Knowledgebase, which will replace the internal PDF help system very soon.

Returning to School

2020-10-02 00:00:00 +1000

Students are going back to school from next week and we are sure that most of you are excited. Kids are looking forward to catching up with friends. Teachers and support staff are looking forward to seeing kids again. Parents and carers will be pleased that kids can return to face to face learning.

uEducateUs will be there to help schools look after students and support learning.

Semester Reporting improvements

2020-08-17 00:00:00 +1000

We’d like to let you know about some system improvements we’ve pushed live.

These involve Semester Reporting and are available right now to all users.

Homepage changes

2020-08-17 00:00:00 +1000

We’ve been looking through usage stats over the past week and discovered parents and students tend to head straight to specific pages as soon as they login.

So to make things faster, we’ve changed things so you’re taken straight to the pages you want.

Remote Learning Improvements

2020-08-07 00:00:00 +1000

Victorian Schools are in lockdown once more as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to affect people around the world.

Lockdown learning is different to the classroom, so we’ve made improvements to uEducateUs to help you and your students.

Changed Covid-19 attendance codes

2020-07-31 00:00:00 +1000

image-right

The Department of Education and Training has advised uEducateUs that the following absence code is to be retired:

214 - Sent home (temperature check)

New codes for recording attendance during Term 3, 2020

2020-07-17 00:00:00 +1000

The Melbourne Metropolitan area and Mitchell Shire have returned to lockdown because of rising Covid-19 cases. Schools in this area are providing remote learning from the 20th July.

The Department of Education and training have provided two new attendance codes for this purpose.

Report writing after Covid-19 shutdowns

2020-06-12 00:00:00 +1000

image-right

It’s almost the end of the first semester, 2020 and students are back at school after working from home during the Covid-19 lockdown.

We thought it worth talking about how report writing is a little different this time around.

The password trade-off

2020-06-01 00:00:00 +1000

"...Stolen passwords cost Australians $16 million dollars in 2019...”

Take seven minutes out of your life to learn how to be safer online.

System Outage

2020-04-17 00:00:00 +1000

Our server team performed server upgrades over the Easter weekend (April 10-13, 2020) to make our systems ready for an increased user load.

However, despite our preparations, the sheer scale of logins was overwhelming and knocked uEducateUs offline.

Ordinarily, term one holidays would end on the 14th of April. However, the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic may force longer closures. Because of this, many schools are seeking guidance on how to run their curriculum.

Coronavirus update - school at home

2020-03-23 00:00:00 +1100

There’s a lot of uncertainty around school closures at the moment and we thought it wise to show schools how they can keep operating even if staff and students are forced into quarantine.

We’ve created a series of Knowledge Base articles to help you setup your school so students can work from home.
