Time's On
This is the source of information brought to the site from Education Specific RSS Feeds, Google News and EduCorp members, who believe the community would benefit from reading selected items and “share an article”.
The concept of “Time’s on” is to personalize your feed according to your interests. It is intended that this element of the site provides users with choices relevant to, adding to, an individual’s learning log. It is possible to customize and add RSS feeds for the benefit of the EduCorp co-operative.
By selecting the cog, the choices of feeds “drop down” and it is possible to manually customize your personal feed.
Each article is a direct link to its source. By following the link and selecting the EduBrowse a log entry can be made for any article of interest.
Resource Store
The EduCorp resource store is full of resources and services offered to the Education Community. These products are offered by suppliers on the site at “Best Price” to community members, in a co-operative style.
Just as our Courseware House highlights Free & Open Source Courses we also have identified a range of Free & Open Source Resources.
Please note, Tendering is in greyscale which indicates it is planned for the future.
An example of a section of the store is Professional Learning. There are relevant products to suit the needs of all educators. An example is Talent Dynamics, which is expanded, showing: Title, rating, relevant Global Goals, tag/s, description of product, price point, options for next action, Reviews and the ability to add a review.
Shoppers deal directly with the Supplier. Each item displayed can be uploaded on the Supplier Dashboard.
