About Edcover

Edcover provides schools with a one stop solution to the many challenges associated with cover lessons.
By harnessing current technologies, we facilitate seamless communication which allows schools to maximise the effectiveness of any lesson in need of cover.
Time saving and reducing teacher workload is at the heart of everything we do. 
SLT, cover managers, HoDs, classroom teachers and of course cover teachers all benefit from using Edcover.

Set

Feedback

Analyse

Web Based Application

Why?

let us explain
We all know that setting cover can be a nightmare for a whole host of reasons. Whether your challenges are around the logistics or quality of learning, Edcover provides a holistic solution to all your problems.
SLT - ensure that cover is being set fairly, promptly and clearly, with quality of learning at the forefront of everything.
Cover Managers - utilise a fail safe online platform to make all your daily tasks that little bit easier.
Heads of Department - Rest assured that teaching and learning remains a priority when coping with absent colleagues
Cover Teachers - Receive high quality clear instruction and all relevant information to deliver real learning experiences for all your classes
Absent Staff -  Minimise any disruption to progress by setting clear lesson materials in a time-saving fashion

HOW?

What triggers the process?
Absent members of staff easily access the online platform to set cover work for the requested period of absence.

What next?
​Edcover brings together all the relevant information using your MIS into one easy to use dashboard.  The cover manager is provided with a clear process to allocate suitable staff, ensure work is set and communicate with stake holders.

And Then?
The absent member of staff (or line manager) sets the work in text, video or hyperlink form. The cover teacher/supervisor receives clear instructions and information to teach the lesson, including: class, period, room, detailed class list and resources. The cover manager can tailor their dashboard to evaluate the quality of work set and feedback.
