Whilst Schoot users can enrol themselves onto as many courses as they like, if you have administrator access to your Schoot subscription (often the CPD leader), you can enrol other staff onto courses. In essence, you can create a personal development plan for each staff member, governor etc.
Groups is a feature of Schoot whereby different users of the Schoot platform can collaborate via chat and share documents and images.
By default, each school has it's own Group which includes all the users of that schools subscription. As new users are added to the schools subscription, they automatically gain access to the schools default Group and can therefore start collaborating with colleagues immediately.
Anyone can create a new, private group and invite any other Schoot users to the group. There are no additional fees for adding Groups.
There is no feature that users can use to request access to a Group, the only way a user can gain access to a Group is by the Group administrator (the person who set the group up) inviting the user to the group.
Examples of private Groups include:
School clusters whereby the Heads of the different schools may want to collaborate and share documents and insights together. Typically one of the Heads would create the group and invite the other Heads to the group (note that the other schools would also require a subscription to Schoot).
School Governors whereby the school's Schoot admin user(s) can invite all the governors under the schools subscription and can establish a private Group to collaborate together. Note that each governor would utilise one user license of the schools Schoot subscription.
MATs, in a similar way to school clusters, specific or all users from MATs can collaborate together using a Schoot Group or Groups.
