Does Active News include a website?
Active News allows you to bulk email your school newsletter to parents - it does NOT include a website and can be used with your existing website (or any website provider).
Why would I choose Active News over Active School?
You would only use Active News if, for some reason, you didn't want to use Active School to manage your website.
What are the benefits of emailing the school newsletter?
Bulk emailing home your school newsletter benefits your school by:
- reducing staff time and printing costs (estimated to save a P3 size school over $1000 per year)
- reduces paper and supports environmental initiatives
- newsletters can be sent out in full colour
- children can't forget or lose the newsletter
- parents have access to the newsletter if their child is absent
- the newsletter is automatically put on the website when it is sent
What do I need to run Active News?
Active News works on PC or Mac (with an internet connection) running Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2.What support does Webation provide for Active News?
Webation has worked with school principals and has designed a process guide which is provided to the Principal. The guide shows you exactly how to introduce and manage bulk emailing the school newsletter. The guide outlines how to introduce the system, how to deal with parents that don't have internet access and many other management related situations.
We use Microsoft Word / Publisher to create our newsletter - how do we send it out using email?
Webation works with you to show you how to convert your newsletter to a PDF document. Then you simply attach this PDF document and send it out to your email list. Each email is automatically personalised with the recipients name and you get valuable statistics about who read your email.
