Diretor: Directors have access to all information and manage all users in a school. It is also possible for each director to assume that same role in more than one school at the same time, if they are responsible for a group or network of schools. On their main page, they can communicate with all users connected to their schools.
Systems administrator:Systems administrators have the same management and administrative privileges as Directors without being identified as such. This profile is aimed at users in a school who will be responsible for managing the platform.
Coordinator:This type of user is associated to a group of classes or department in a school and has access to all of its information. On their main page, coordinators will be able to interact at the same time with all parents in their classes.
Teacher:Teachers can interact with the classes they are connected to. They are able to communicate with parents and to create Digital Classrooms to interact with students. Students cannot see what teachers share with parents and vice-versa.
Parents:Parents have access to all information shared with the classes they are connected to.
Student:Students have access to all content shared by their teachers in the Digital Classrooms they are connected to.

Your school on Weduc
How to create your School on Weduc:

You will receive a confirmation e-mail with a link to activate your account.
2. Access your personal information, complete your registration and check if your School is already registered on Weduc. If not, you can create a profile by selecting 'School not listed?'.
How to create your School on Weduc:
3. To create a School profile, fill in the required information, provide the name and contact of a Director or select the option 'I am a member of the school directorship', if that is the case.
4. Done! Weduc will validate all information provided. After it has been validated, your school profile will be activated and the Director can then start inviting other users.
Some features on Weduc will be unavailable until the School's profile is validated by our services.
While the validation process takes place, you can start building your network by sending connection requests to other schools you are connected to in real life as a Director, Teacher or Parent. With a single password, you will be able to access all your different profiles on Weduc.
You can expand your network at any time and add a new profile to your account by going to 'Weduc Network' (on the upper menu bar) and selecting 'My network'.
