Why?

There is a huge array of peripheral devices available in the education market from printers and data-logging equipment through to digital pens. Research shows that teachers want accurate information from other teachers about what is available, the features that make these products especially useful and tips and ideas for usage.

Schoolzone evaluators trial peripherals and hardware in the classroom context providing feedback to clients and information for teachers via our structured evaluation reports.

No hidden costs - The service cost includes 2 years hosting and the marketing and reporting packages.

Price starting from £495*

Service summary

All evaluations are carried out within the classroom context over the period of 6 - 8 weeks and provide in-depth pedagogical feedback on your product.

As our client, through bespoke selection of evaluation fields to be covered, you can shape the focus of the evaluation which results in an extensive written report on your product.

Schoolzone evaluations are fully independent, but no evaluation will be published without your authorisation. Once this is received your evaluation will be promoted as set out below.

Schoolzone evaluators are fully trained subject and key stage specialists, profiled to match your target market.

All evaluations link to a point of sale on the publisher’s web site and we report to you on click though rates.
