Subscription FAQ

What is subscription?
When you subscribe you will be sent a username and password which will allow you to enter the member's area. Here you will have full access to the entire eChalk archive across all subject areas. Resources are constantly being added to eChalk and our members get access to them as soon as they are uploaded to the site. So your school's investment in eChalk is one that grows.
Subscription is the best option for schools as there are no administration or deployment costs. All you need to access the subscription area is a web connection.
Subscription is renewed yearly.
What does a subscription for "10 simultaneous logins" mean?
When you subscribe you will choose the level of subscription you require. You need to decide how many people in your institution will use the eChalk resources.
A subscription for "10 simultaneous logins" will allow up to ten people (at different computers and locations) to login at the same time. All these people would use the same username and password to log-in to the eChalk member's area.
Can I choose my own username and password?
Yes, providing your desired username is not already in use. Your username and password must contain at least six characters.
When you subscribe you will be sent two sets of username and password. One set is for a "user account" and another for an "administrator's account"
When you login using the "user account" details you will be taken to the member's area with all the teaching resources.
When you login using the "administrator account" details you will be taken to a page that allows you to change your account details. Here you can alter your usernames and passwords.

Can I create links that take me directly to eChalk resources?
The way you do this depends on your subscription level. With level 6, our top level subscription (which is based on the school's IP address) you can link to our resources as you would link to any other web page. If you're within the school this is all you need to do. For any other subscription level (or if you're outside of the school with our level 6 subscription) you must first login to eChalk using your username and password. This will take you to the eChalk welcome page. It is important to leave this page open in your browser window as while this page is open you remain logged in to eChalk. You can then open another browser window or tab and click on the link as you would normally. |
