Web — platform
Intellect School online was developed by Intellect Education Solutions,
Inc with the goal of creating an educational platform accessible for teachers
and students around the world. The idea of creating such an educational
platform did not come about by chance - a group of teachers with extensive
experience in teaching developed an online school structure that would best
meet the needs of both teachers and students. Therefore, the Intellect School
Online educational platform contains a set of convenient services for organising
the workplace of both the teacher and the student. The web platform
automatically loads in English, but you can select the language of your choice
in the upper right part of the main page.
To begin with,
registering and posting information about yourself is a fairly simple procedure
that will take you less than a minute. You need to select the registration
category “Teacher's Registration”, enter your first and last name, email
address and password. As the platform is multilingual, you simply need to
choose the language that you prefer to work with.
Next, you will
receive a message via email asking you to confirm your registration, this is
the end of the registration process, and you can now use all the services and
capabilities of the Intellect School online educational site. All
data about yourself and your professional skills, taught subjects, Certificates
and diplomas of education can be uploaded at any convenient time in
the "My Profile" section. You can also add your photo there
and if you wish, a video - a presentation about yourself and your course. After
these simple steps, the teacher’s presentation card will be formed exactly in
the form in which your potential students will see it. You can create a
teacher profile and post information about yourself and your educational
services on the platform absolutely free.
It is very
important that the teacher decides how much it will cost for one hour of
classes in the subject or course, creates a description of the course, the number
of training hours per course, calendar-thematic planning and then adds all of
this information to their account. All information about the courses is
automatically posted in the "Courses" section.
A convenient
search system allows you to select teachers from the list by the name of the
course or subject, for example, you can search for only teachers of mathematics
or biology. You can find out more about the teacher by clicking on the link
with the name of the teacher on the presentation card.
In this section
you can see the teacher’s video presentation, view their certificates, courses,
target audience and requirements for the level of language proficiency in which
the teacher teaches. Also, here you can find reviews from other students who
have already passed or are undergoing training with the teacher.
There are two
buttons on the teacher’s presentation card: Book a
Course and Send a Message. If the student has questions for the
teacher, they can ask them using the message sending function, if
not, then you can immediately book a course by clicking on the button with the
same name.
Separately, I
would also like to draw your attention to the scheduling service. This service
is a convenient tool for the teacher. You can mark on the calendar the days and
times that are convenient for conducting classes in the teacher’s time zone,
for example, if you live in Moscow - this is +2 GMT, - the student will see the
class schedule taking into account the time zone in which he lives, for
example, in London 0 GMT - The schedule adjustment system will do this
automatically for the student. It is important to note that the student will
see the class schedule only after the registration on the Intellect School
Online platform is completed.
To create a schedule, the teacher needs to
go to the "Available time" section in the menu and mark the
dates and available times in the calendar.
The class
schedule can be changed at any time, just go to the "Available
time" section and make changes, including taking into account the
wishes of the student. After the calendar is completed, it becomes available on
the website for booking. The student chooses the course, the start time of the
course, the number of lessons per week and the duration of the lesson per day.
If the student has questions, he can send them to the teacher via the messaging
function. It is important to note that booking a course becomes possible only
after paying for tuition. The student has a choice - he can pay and book one
lesson, which is called "for testing", ", or to book the entire
course at once. As soon as the reservation is completed - the teacher in
the "My Calendar" section will have all the necessary
information about the students, days and times of classes and the name of the
course. It looks like this:
Each course in
the calendar is marked with its own colour and looks like a round marker. If
you click on the marker, then the student’s first and last name, course name
and lesson start time will appear in a pop-up window.
To add a
training course, use the My Courses menu section. First, you need to
click the button "Add Course", select a category of the course,
for example, "Information Technology", then enter its name, the
language in which the classes will be held, the cost of one hour of the course,
the total cost of the course, a description of the course, the number of hours
per week and the duration of one lesson. It is advisable to add an image to the
course so that it looks more noticeable and attractive on the site.
After all the
fields are filled in, click on the “Submit” button and your course
will fall into the “Courses” section and become available to users.
The number of training courses hosted by one teacher is not regulated. In order
for your potential students to see your Certificates of Education, their images
can be downloaded in the "My Certificates" section:
The list of your
students and their presentation cards can be found in the "Student
List" menu section, here you can also allow access to your library or
access the student's library.
A very important
section of the menu is the section “Payment Details” - in this
section, the teacher can see the entire history of payments received from
students, for the entire period of study.
Particular attention
should be paid to the teacher's library. To enter the library, use
the "My Library" section. The library structure has been
created in such a way to make it easier for the teacher to find the material
needed for work. The teacher’s library is formed by downloading materials in
the form of files and sorting them as follows: you have a course in which there
are 5 lessons on various topics with video materials, homework, tests and a
textbook. So - the library allows each lesson to sort through all the necessary
files so that it can be easier to find them:
Lesson 1:
tutorial section homework video tutorial test
Lesson 2:
tutorial section homework test video tutorial
Library
resources can be made private or open to students - to whom the teacher decides
to provide access to materials.
We understand
how important the structure of the library is, as we developed an educational
platform for ourselves – we have tried to make the educational environment as
comfortable as possible for working with students.
The “My
Meetings” menu section is intended for conducting online lessons - in this
section, you fully control the settings for the lessons of your course: set the
start time of the lesson, add students to the lesson or delete them, close the topic
after the lesson, and so on.
The rating
assessment of the teacher’s work is very important for each of us -
because when searching and choosing a course, a potential student, first of
all, pays attention to the reviews. We developed the platform in such a way
that each student could write a review not only about the whole training course
but also about each topic within the framework of one training course. In the
menu item “Ratings / Reviews”, the teacher can manage student reviews,
that is, allow or forbid them to be published on the site.
The “My
requests” section is intended for exchanging messages between the teacher
and students outside the classroom. For example, if someone found your course
but has a number of questions they need answering to help them make a decision,
they can contact the teacher here. In this case, the teacher can answer the questions
and finally convince the student that it is necessary to learn from him.
The sections of
the menu “Homework” and “Tests” are intended for the
automatic placement of the completed test and homework on the topics of the
course. The teacher at his convenience can check the work and put grades that
will be redirected to the student’s electronic journal. Thus, the educational platform
allows you to study in the format of home - family education and move from
class to class based on the grades received.
We really hope
that this short review of the main services of the platform will be useful to
you when using it. We welcome feedback and recommendations on improving our
services. Send any questions, requests and recommendations to us by email: support@intel-school.com
