At ePals, we’ve already forged connections among 600,000 educators and their students in the ePals Global Community™, spanning 200 countries and territories. With the introduction of ePals LearningSpace, a virtual workspace optimized for creating, sharing, managing and collaborating on educational content, students and educators in your school or district have the opportunity to experience purposeful, project-based learning in a collaborative and controlled environment.

ePals LearningSpace helps educators to prepare students to thrive in a 21st century workforce where online collaboration skills are increasingly required. Groups are created within the virtual workspace to bring members together around a project or subject of interest.

Students are more engaged in the learning process because they are interacting and working together with peers and educators within these groups. In addition, students learn how to use key social media tools for educational purposes on one centralized platform.

For administrators, educators and technology leaders, ePals LearningSpace provides the ability to manage project-based learning in a flexible, yet controlled environment under one centralized policy.

Specifically, administrators and educators have the flexibility to create and manage groups and sub-groups with role-based permissions on one centralized platform. ePals LearningSpace provides each group with efficient and easy-to-use social media tools that can be managed and require minimal training.
