Supporting quality practice
Developed in New Zealand, Educa is online learning story and documentation software – child e-portfolios, planning, curriculum linking, assessments, teacher portfolios, more.
Educa facilitates:
- Learning-focused parent feedback
- Online collaboration with colleagues
- internal commenting and reflections to help teachers grow
This continuous feedback, cooperation and collaboration in a community around each child supports best practice and rising learning outcomes.
Digital Portfolios Make Learning Visible
By linking observations shared with parents to curriculum and/or plans, you communicate your approach and attract feedback – in real time. Also send announcements from our message dashboard.
Robust and Flexible
Educa was developed first for New Zealand educators who are innovative, independent-minded and collaborative. Our online platform is highly adaptable with a range of sharing options.
Support & Mentor Teachers
Teachers have private portfolios for reflections or journal entries. Mentor teachers can help younger teachers in real-time with comments or collaboration. Finally, services using Educa have closer parent connections which are life-affirming. More here
Save Paper and Time
Our digital portfolios save paper, although any story can be printed beautifully as needed. Plus it’s efficient, having it all online in one place, available for sharing and collaboration.
Share Policies & Resources
Use Educa’s Policies module to write or upload policies seen by teachers only or by parents also. Our Resources portal is for reference material for teachers, info and forms for parents.
Reports, Reports, Reports
Reports on learning for each child, on parent engagement, on teacher activity and more help you understand your service and save time in compliance.
Educa Also Replaces …
Emails, Mailchimp, …
Emails get lost and can’t be saved to a portfolio. Educa puts all communication in one place, all saved.
Blogs
Blogs are impersonal and don’t feel private. And so parents don’t engage. Educa is private, you will engage parents like never before.
Facebook, Shutterfly, …
These channels are time consuming and compromises, not intended for school use. Educa is made for sharing stories about learning.

Partners & Endorsements
“Educa gives us a place to build and grow the picture of a child. This story can be shared with parents and future teachers, which they can contribute to and work in partnership with the centre to build these skills at home. A true partnership, where else can you get this?!”
“It also allows us to set organisational goals for teachers and centres so that they can go on an educational journey, and be reflective and evaluative of what they do. It is a tool that can create time, and a tool that allows us to lift the quality of what we are doing irrespective of the regulations we have to follow.”
