WAMedu

Private social networks for teachers and students to connect and communicate.

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.
