Earz for umbrella organisations: Earz Core
Earz offers some interesting features for umbrella (e.g. regional or national) organisations. This special subscription is called Earz Core.
• An umbrella organisation can be managed in Earz as an umbrella (=above underlying organisations).
For example: The umbrella organisation is a national organisation that stands above regional organisations. A regional organisation may contain bands (in the form of ‘classes‘).
– Earz ensures that underlying organisations are linked to the umbrella organisation.
– The umbrella organisation can grant rights to teachers (administrators) of the underlying organisations on the administration page.
• Games can be ‘linked’.
The umbrella organisation can copy Earz games to the lower organisations as so-called ‘linked copies’. This means that:
– the linked copy cannot be edited by the lower organisation
– the linked copy is automatically adjusted if changes are made to the ‘source’ game (managed by the umbrella organisation).
How to make a linked copy. See under *)
• Mutual organisations retain their independence.
The underlying organisations can manage their own organisations, but benefit from the linked games, for example.
Both umbrella and underlying organisations otherwise have the same options as organisations with a normal ‘School’ subscription.
Please contact Ger Wolthuis for the possibilities, conditions and prices of Earz Core.
*) This is how to create a linked copy; follow these steps:
1 n the teachers’ page of the Core organisation:
in the settings of the “source games” folder, check that it is visible in Earz-Library (and click Save).
2 on the teachers’ page of the lower organisation:
go to the Earz-Library, click on the name of the folder to be copied and then (top right) on the copy icon.
3 give the new folder a name, check Link games to the content of the original and click Copy folder.
4 if required, uncheck the “source folder” (on the teachers’ page of the Core organisation) so that it is no longer visible in Earz-library!
