Pricing Updates

After much internal debate, we decided to clarify our pricing structure. Many of you had found it somewhat confusing and the basic plan was a bit too low to cover the support costs and training that we aim to provide. Our new structure is based on the number of student accounts created (e.g. if your school has 350 students and 50 teachers and staff, you would select the Basic plan). Under this new structure, you can still create an unlimited number of classes, groups, and non-student accounts for alumni, teachers, administrators, and parents, but your student accounts will be limited by the quota.

The Standard and Premium plan prices have increased to $8,988 and $14,988 respectively. The Basic plan price has been increased to $4,988 and the storage and user quotas have been quadrupled from 100 students and 5 GB to 400 students and 20 GB.

Schools that have already begun using Eduvo will be grandfathered and their pricing plans will remain unchanged. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by telephone at 1.215.989.4303 or via email at sales@eduvo.com.

Maintenance Move

We will be conducting a 4-hour maintenance move for our databases starting this Sunday at 6:05 AM GMT, so you won’t be able to access Eduvo during that time.

This will affect users in Singapore between 2:05 PM and 6:05 PM Sunday local time and in India between 12:35 PM and 4:35 PM Sunday local time.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

How-Tos

I am the school administrator, how do I setup my school account?

2) On the General tab, you will be able to enter and review your school contact details. Scroll to the bottom to enter your school’s existing webmail URL address, which will give students one-click access to their webmail.

3) Select the Design tab and upload your school insignia (in either GIF or PNG format) and a front page image (in either JPG or PNG format). For the front page image, please note that the dimensions must be exactly 493 (W) x 290 (H) pixels.

When you’re complete make sure to save the file in CSV (Comma Separated Values) format, and then select the file from your computer using “Browse”, and click “Upload Users”. This will send a welcome email to all users with an auto-generated password. (Note: if you require migration, we can handle this step for you)

5) Select the Courses tab and click “Add semester” to get started. (Note: it’s ok if you are on a quarter, trimester, or annual system, you can adjust the name and timeframe of the period to suit your school’s schedule). - Enter your period name (e.g. Fall 2007, Quarter One 2007)

7) Now that you’ve added courses, you can either register all the classes for a particular student, or allow teachers to add students to their respective classes. If you want to do it student-by-student, select the Users tab and click a student’s name to begin. Or you can instruct teachers to access the Members page of their courses and manually add all of their students using the “Add Students” feature.

FAQs

If I leave a comment on a student's grades page, who is able to view it?

If you leave a comment on a student’s grades page, all of the student’s other current teachers (for this term) are able to view it. This feature allows a teacher to share observations about a specific student. For example, if a student is chronically absent that teacher can post a comment to inform others to see if that has been a problem for them as well.
