Frequently asked questions - Digital Licence

What is the eSmart Digital Licence?

The eSmart Digital Licence is an engaging and interactive online learning program designed for children and young adults. The Digital Licence uses quizzes, puzzles, resources and activities to teach school-aged children how to play, learn and socialise online in a smart, safe and responsible way.

How does it work?

Children take a fun yet educational challenge covering up to eight topics to test their digital literacy. Working at their own pace they can always redo the challenge as many times as they like until they complete it.

On successful completion of all topics with a minimum passing rate of 80%, students are awarded an eSmart Digital Licence and can print out a certificate.

Teachers and parents get access to the quiz, current digital articles, understanding concept guides and additional engagement activities to keep up to date and connect with the child/student in the digital environment.

How do I track the progress of my students/child?

You can track how your students are going on your dashboard under the Progress by Class tab.

You can monitor individual child progress from the Progress by Student and Progress by Class tabs.

Who has been involved in the development?

The eSmart Digital Licence has been developed by the Alannah & Madeline Foundation, with input from child psychologists, cyber bullying experts, technologists and educators.

The Digital Licence has three age options. A Junior Primary version aimed at children up to year 2, Primary for children from 9 to 12 years, and a Secondary version for children 13 to 14 years. All versions are accompanied by audio to facilitate ‘learn to read’.

How does the eSmart Digital Licence complement other eSmart programs?

How do I add my class?

From the Manage Classes section of your dashboard, click ‘Add a Class’. You will then be prompted to choose a grade/year level from a drop down menu. Next, choose the most appropriate quiz version for you:

Junior Primary (Foundation to 2)
Primary (under 13 years)
Secondary (over 13 years).

Next, add a class name and type in the number of students in your class. Click Add.

You now have immediate access to the quiz and have 14 days to pay with either a credit card, invoice or promo code when you click on ‘Purchase All Licences’.

To add your students, click ‘upload class’.

Your class list needs to be in CSV format (just like when you’re using the Compass app). If you’re unsure how to do this open your class list in Excel and save as CSV format.

Alternatively, you can add students individually.

You are now ready to start the quiz!
