Frequently Asked Questions
School Staff Have Full Control of the Digital Library
ePlatform provides a comprehensive suite of administrative controls designed to give school staff (librarians, teachers, and administrators) full oversight and flexibility over their digital library. Key features include the ability to assign eBooks, audiobooks, or decodable readers directly to individual students, groups, or whole classes, enabling targeted reading assignments. Staff can also restrict titles by year level or age group, ensuring content appropriateness. Powerful reporting dashboards offer real-time insights into borrowing trends, reading time, and engagement at school, class, and individual student levels, supporting data-driven literacy planning. Additionally, staff can customise their school's ePlatform homepage with custom collections to highlight specific titles or themes, and manage loan periods and maximum simultaneous loans.
Free & Cost-Effective Titles For Class Sets
Simultaneous loans, referred to as "class sets" on ePlatform, are a valuable feature that allows multiple students to access and read the same eBook or audiobook concurrently. This is ideal for whole-class novel studies, group discussions, or specific assignments where every student needs immediate access to a particular title.
Schools can easily create these class sets by purchasing additional copies of titles through the ePlatform shop. These purchases are highly cost-effective, with discounts of up to 75% compared to buying individual copies. The pricing is flexible, as it adjusts based on your chosen loan duration and the number of copies you need. This gives schools precise control over their budget and resource allocation. Furthermore, ePlatform also includes thousands of free, simultaneous-use titles from Project Gutenberg, offering even more flexibility and cost savings for commonly studied classics or public domain works. This ensures that whether purchasing or utilising free resources, schools can reliably provide a required number of students with a book at the same time, making lesson planning more predictable and supporting seamless classroom integration.
