Nimbused
The Educational Social Learning Network

An online learning network with educational tools with a social aspect allowing collaboration and communication.

Social networking facts:

• 12 million 13-19 year olds in the UK have a facebook account.
• 50 % of users use the site at least once a day.
• Social media messaging is the main form of e-communication amongst young people – no longer email or SMS.

The dilemma:

Social networking is a very powerful media allowing collaboration, group work and improved communication across an organisation. Banning social networks completely can isolate students and increase the feeling of ‘them and us’. However, most social networks do not offer you the safety and security required to allow access in schools. Children abuse systems where there is no consequence.

How can we teach students to safely and responsibly use these systems if we do not have access in schools?

The solution:

You can now offer your school (teachers and students) a safe and secure private social networking experience in which you can not only teach how to use the media but also harness the communication power of social media.

Offers you:

• Private to your school alone – no communication outside of the school
• Secure system
• Full audit trails of all activity
• You administer the network
• Abuse reporting direct to you
• Communication throughout school without email requirement

Offers students:

• Familiarity with the interface
• 24/7 access
• Instant Messaging
• Content creation (pages / events / groups)
• Blogging

The system is free for you and your students to use as a social network.

A premium service offers full administrative services for only £1 per user per annum.
