Cover managers can access a summary of the day – providing assurance that every lesson has work set. Any issues for the coming day are conveniently highlighted.

Absent teachers (or their line manager) can set their work with ease and speed, confident that nothing will be misplaced or lost. As edcover links to your MIS, timetables are automatically synced; this removes the possibility of a lesson being overlooked or forgotten.

Covering teachers simply click on the lesson and deliver; the class list and teaching materials are all there. You can view the lesson in advance to familiarise yourself.

The AI Assistant is a huge time saver – especially if you happen to be setting a lesson on someone else’s behalf. Within seconds, it will create a great lesson on any topic with appropriate supporting materials.

All too often, there’s no communication between absent and covering teachers about how the lesson has gone; purely because we don’t have the time. Now however, in a few seconds, we can rate the lesson and give some feedback if needed. Analytics give SLT’s valuable insight as to the efficacy of cover lessons in their school.​

The reality is that edcover is incredibly straightforward and easy to implement.

That said, the team at edcover take great pride in the relationships we develop with schools. We’re always available to talk and happy to support schools in whatever way required. There is a help/support button on the platform along with a host of tutorial videos that can be accessed at any time.
