What are the benefits of buying a School Licence?
The benefits of purchasing a PLD School Licence include easy access to teaching resources and programs. Rather than purchasing multiple copies of the same program, a Whole School Licence provides full school access to specific programs for an annual subscription fee.
School Licence resources can be accessed on any device (i.e. desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones) and are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase and are priced for extra-small, small, medium and large schools.
School Licence resources are accessible to view as a digital flipbook which enables pages to be printed, displayed on IWBs or screens and also used within PowerPoint presentation (as long as Copyright terms of use are followed).
Once a school purchases a School Licence for a resource, it can be used by any number of teachers employed by the school. Furthermore, multiple teachers can access a resource simultaneously, regardless of their location or device.
School Licence resources are stored in a secure location, accessible via the 'My Account' section on the PLD website. This centralised storage makes the resource easy to access and eliminates the risk of hard-copy books being lost, damaged or stolen.
When an updated version of a resource is released, the latest version will automatically be updated to display the latest version, meaning schools don’t have to spend money on the latest version and be left with hard copies of old programs.
What is the Cost of School Licences?
The cost of a School Licence varies by resource and pricing is displayed clearly on the product listing page by simply clicking on 'Whole School Licence' and then selecting your school size.
In addition, the cost of a School Licence depends on the size of your school. PLD’s Whole School Licence platform is tailored to the size of your school, based on the number of enrolled students (as per official ACARA data). Licences are available in a range of options, from Extra Small (fewer than 49 students) to Large (350+ students). The sliding scale for purchasing options makes a PLD Whole School Licence a cost-effective solution for schools of any size.
Payment via credit card is preferred, however if you would like to pay on account, please email mail@pld-literacy.org with the list of PLD programs for which you wish to purchase School Licences.
