WAMedu

WAMedu builds private and controlled social networks that better enable teachers and students to communicate, collaborate and share crucial educational content in a safe and secure environment.

WHY? Those in charge and those being taught use different communication channels outside of the classroom to deliver and share content; teachers rely on text/email, but students use tools like Snapchat/WhatsApp. So the two don’t meet. Emails get ignored or deleted, social media gets read and used! Traditional social networks (Twitter/Facebook etc) are NOT the answer. They blur the lines between social and school life creating real integrity issues (no parent wants to see their child “like” a bikini shot of a teacher on holiday) with no audit trail or safeguarding. WAMedu is a controlled, secure environment, which still engages the students (with it's social network look and feel) but also protects teacher's professional integrity.

TESTIMONIAL: Jamie Smith, Director of Strategy and Infrastructure at South Staffordshire College says “WAMedu enables us to create an innovative and engaging learning environment. It improves teaching, connects students in a way no other medium can and reduces the number of students leaving their courses.
