Training
Mediasphere offers schools a simple and effective platform to deliver online and tracked teacher professional development and parent training courses. The School Training Network is linked to your school website and offers secure login to your teachers, ancillary staff, students and parents.
The School Training Network is a self managing and self authoring Powerhouse portal that can be used to deliver online student orientation programs, international student English language profile tests, staff compliance (i.e. emergency evacuation) and induction programs and parent awareness courses.
Mediasphere can license existing courses to your school or build customised courses to meet your needs. Alternatively, your school can use the course creator tool to simply build and administer your own courses.
The School Training Network has inbuilt tracking and reporting functionality which can be applied to all courses. This tracking is essential on compliance courses and is invaluable on student induction programs for your new students and staff.
As with all Powerhouse solutions, the School Training Network is an affordable, simple and dynamic platform. The site is built and maintained using a range of simple Powerhouse tools. It is your decision which tools you
