EduMedia resources have not been designed for small screens (less than 8 inches). Some EduMedia resources include sound.

As EduMedia cannot guarantee the compatibility of its site with all current or future devices, we invite you to make sure you are entirely satisfied with our services before taking out a subscription. For this purpose, you can request temporary access.

 

ARTICLE 3: Agreement between a school and EduMedia

This agreement applies to all users with a valid "School" or "Teacher" subscription seeking to benefit from the online services available on the site. 

Excluded from this agreement are virtual schools providing online education and, more generally, all public or private institutions providing distance learning, such as home-school schemes, tutoring sites, museums, libraries, associations and educational publishers. These institutions should contact EduMedia to find out which license applies to their activity.

Teacher’s Area

A teacher who has taken out a "School" or "Teacher" subscription benefits from their own individual space (Teacher’s Area) through which they can access various options, including Video capture and Sharing.

• Video capture to create a video clip with your voice.
• Share to share, in authenticated mode, an EduMedia resource via a hyperlink (www.) or an HTML code (<iframe> tag).

Video capture

The video capture tool can be used by the teacher, or one of their students (Flip* option), to record themselves over an EduMedia resource. 

• Video captures incorporate an EduMedia logo.
• A teacher's video captures are saved in their personal area (Teacher’s Area). A student’s video capture (Flip* option) is automatically saved in their teacher's personal area.
