1. What is
Online Solutions for Educators?
Online Solutions for Educators™
(OS4E) offers a suite of web-based
products designed to enhance and
facilitate communication between
schools, teachers, parents and
students. Our products include:
a. 30-Minute
Websites For Teachers™
- Customized classroom websites
that allow teachers to create
and publish information pertinent
to their classroom.
b. Pupil
Pages™ - Online Student
Portfolios provide and organized
and stylized way of presenting
accomplishments.
In addition, OS4E offers customized
solutions to meet any school district
or school building needs.
2. How can your products benefit
our school district? All schools
are looking for ways to improve
communication between parents,
teachers and students. Using the
web offers 24/7 access to information.
Up until now, teachers needed
to devote quite a bit of time
and possess a certain level of
technical skill to create and
maintain a website. Our products
require so little time to maintain
and no technical skills whatsoever.
Thus, teachers can get information
out to the families quickly and
easily.
3. There are several free
services out there that offer
similar products. Why should I
consider OS4E for our school district?
There are several products
available on the web that allow
you to do SOME of the things our
products offer. However, none
of them are as intuitive to use,
or provide the scope of features
that our products do. Our products
provide a level of consistency
throughout the school district
that you can't achieve when teachers
are choosing among various free
services. We also provide extensive
product support that just isn't
available from a free service.
4. Do we have to buy any special
software? No. All you need
is a computer with an Internet
connection and a web browser.
Our software resides on a web
server that we maintain, so you
don't have to worry about installation
or purchasing web editing software.
5. What about hosting? Do
we have to move our current website?
No, you don't have to move your
current site. We can integrate
our products with your current
site (or multiple sites) without
having to move a thing.
6. We have several buildings
in our district. Do we need to
purchase your products for each
of our schools? 30-Minute
Websites For Teachers™
is sold in either a 5 or more user plan, or for an individual teacher as an annual subscription. Pupil
Pages™ carries a yearly
subscription fee and a fee for
each individual student site.
7. Are there any recurring
fees? You purchase our products on an annual subscription, but you only pay
for the number of users from year
to year. Aside from you subscription, there are no additional fees.
8. Are parents and students
considered "users" and
do they need subscriptions?
Subscriptions apply to the 30-Minute
Websites For Teachers™
and Pupil
Pages. Parents and students
are not considered "users,"
only teachers are considered "users"
for
30-Minute
Websites For Teachers™. Only students
are considered users for Pupil
Pages™.
9. What about technical support?
We provide the technical support
you need to keep your site up
and running. We also provide online
help and free support via email
to teachers using 30-Minute
Websites For Teachers™,
and Pupil Pages™ products. Phone
support is available free for
any technical related issues you
may have for as long as your district
is an active subscriber for one
representative from your district
free of charge.
10. Will we be entitled to
any upgrades to your products
after we purchase? Active
subscribers are entitled to any
upgrades to our products, free
of charge.
11. What upgrades and features
are you planning for the future?
We have many exciting plans
in the works. We welcome any suggestions from our users as to how to improve our products.
