Policy on Purchasing and Accessing Resources

Educoot resources are digital, educational materials, developed for students with additional learning needs.

Purchasing

Online purchasing: The resources can be purchased online, on the website here: https://educoot.org/new-products Online purchases result in a digital link which contains a zipped folder with student worksheets and accompanying materials. The digital link lasts for 24 hours so it is recommended that teachers/tutors download and save the resource soon after purchase. If a resource is purchased online and teachers/tutors cannot access the link, an email can be sent to info@educoot.org or admin@educoot.org and a different link will be provided.

Purchasing by invoice: Educoot resources can be sent as digital links via email. Recognised schools and centres can purchase the resources through the invoice system. The process is as follows: Customer orders resource/s - Customer requests a quote - An estimate is sent -Customer approves the estimate, ETB schools and centres must provide a PO (Purchase order) Number - Digital links are emailed - An invoice is sent in due course.

*Please note: When ordering resources, please provide a name and the centre or school name. If the school or centre is part of an ETB, please provide this information.

Copyright

Once you have purchased the resources, you can place them on as many devices as you wish or print as often as you like within your own school or centre. This means you need to purchase only one of each resource, regardless of how many students there are.

Please note, if a teacher or tutor personally purchases the resource, they are entitled to take that resource with them if they move to another school or centre. If the school or centre purchases the resource, then it remains the property of the school or centre.

No part of the publications may be reproduced, distributed, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, recording, or other electronic or mechanical methods, without the prior written permission of the author.

Digital only

Resources are digital only. Hard copies are not provided.

The resources are sent as links, which encourages schools/centres to use the resources as e-textbooks. The idea is to minimise printing and embrace technology-enhanced learning. Many schools/centres are printing only for portfolio purposes and when the student may need extra practice. Resources can be attached to students’ emails or uploaded to online learning platforms. We are in the process of making almost all resources fillable so students can type in their answers.

Updated resources

Since 2023, there has been an ongoing review and update of all resources. Many resources are now fillable online. Where resources are fillable, a printable and fillable version is included in the resource digital link.

If resources have already been purchased, and teachers or tutors want the fillable versions, it will cost €5 per resource.

Invoice numbers and proof of payment must be provided prior to estimates being sent.

Lost resources

If resources are lost, Educoot will replace the lost resources once proof of payment has been provided. However, if lost resources are requested more than one year later, a cost of €5 per resource will be incurred.

Invoice numbers and proof of payment must be provided prior to estimates being sent.

Assessor responsibility

This resource can be used as an aid for learners to achieve the learning outcomes, as stated at the beginning of each resource, but it is the responsibility of the assessor to evaluate student evidence and make the assessment decision/judgment on whether the outcomes of knowledge, skill or competence, as outlined in the appropriate curriculum, have been achieved. Assessors must have knowledge of assessment procedures and be familiar with relevant assessment policies and guidelines.

Thank you. We appreciate your cooperation.
