How it works
To understand how Edupass works, think of the cable delivery model in the TV industry. Each cable company integrates various content channels (TV networks) into a single delivery platform accessible seamlessly through a TV set-top box. Each group of channels is sold as a service bundle – movies, sports, kids, and so on – with optional on-demand channels or pay-per-view events that are available from a service menu.
In this analogy, Edupass is the set-top box that allows you to gain seamless access to the educational web services that you want, when you want them and without having to remember lots of usernames and passwords. Your educational institution can also determine what it wants you to see and use for teaching and learning based on the web services it has licensed and subscribed to. However, unlike TV content, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) services are more complicated to provision.
These web-enabled services – web apps, mobile apps, online courses, digital content, web tools – require enterprise data uploads before they can be useful, as well as role-based and identity-based authentication for accessing each of the end user accounts. For instance, in a school setting, administrators, teachers, students and parents might each need to be given access to different types of data and features within the same application – Edupass enables an IT Administrator to set up ANY role and distribute web services based on different permissions.
