eLearning Credits

Last chance to get resources for free!

In August 2008, the Government is withdrawing eLearning Credits (eLCs), the special extra funds they gave schools to buy digital resources for teaching and learning. eLearning Credits can be used to buy not only software, but also networkable and PDF products. If you don't use your eLCs before 31 August 2008, you lose them.

Get the most out of your last eLCs

Pearson Publishing is giving special extra discounts to orders placed this summer using eLCs. The process is very simple:

Tell us your school name and how many eLCs you have left.
Indicate which subjects and key stage levels are of interest to your school.
We will put together a special discounted package of relevant resources.

The more eLCs you spend with us, the greater the discount.

Remember, every eLC counts, so get in touch now! Call us on 01223 350555, fax on 01223 356484, email us at elc@pearson.co.uk, or write to Pearson Publishing, Chesterton Mill, French's Road, Cambridge CB4 3NP.

Who is eligible?

English maintained nursery, primary and secondary schools, non-maintained special schools and pupil referral units are eligible for the funding.

How much money is there?

For the 07-08 year, each eligible school is entitled to £1000 as a starting point plus around £3.42 for each pupil.

How do I get hold of the funding?

The funding comes in the form of cash under Standards Fund Grant 122. If you have not received/heard about your school's allocation, contact your local authority. Alternatively see the Curriculum Online site or email help@curriculumonline.gov.uk.

The 07-08 eLC money will expire on 31st August 2008.

How can I spend this money?

The money can be used to purchase digital resources for curriculum delivery that are produced by registered content providers. You simply place your order directly with the supplier, telling them that you wish to use eLCs to purchase the product(s).

Pearson Publishing is registered both as a content provider and a retailer with Curriculum Online. This Web site offers a wealth of products and services that can be paid for with eLCs.
