Global Thinking - Support For Teachers and Community Network

Client

The East of England Development Education Network (EEDEN) is a regional partnership based in the East of England. Stakeholders are key educators from schools, local authorities, universities and community based organisations. Global Thinking is the 10-year strategy that will enable effective support for the global dimension in education within the East Region of England.

Challenge

The project needed a place where its members could connect with each other as well as access and contribute to best practice resources. The website needed to facilitate community growth whilst supporting current office practices in a collaborative environment.

Solution

A usable and attractively designed website became the lynch pin of the new community.

Content management system: Site administrators have autonomy in website management with the content management system, the easiest way for them to edit and update the website. They can control levels of access and have the facilities to create and publish a directory of community members.

Newsletter: Site administrators can create and send newsletters via the email marketing facility provided by The Logic House. Individuals can opt in or out of these messages through the interactive mailing list management software.
