With the introduction of new e-services, we often get the feeling that these digital novelties  are an additional burden, rather than making everyday life easier. Therefore we have approached the development of services for the E-school bag from another angle – we based them on the actual desires of our customers and prepared solutions for those requirements expressed by the users of the entire education vertical of education that are really important. Naturally, we tried to make them more accessible, taking mobile devices into account.

You’ve probably already noticed that access to services on the SIO portal is considerably simpler, but you are probably unaware of the many tools available to simplify things even further. The issue and storage of certificates for your training sessions, for example. Wouldn’t it be so much easier if the information on certificates in the field of ICT education were collected in one place? You can also save all the documents you otherwise store on various cloud services such as Dropbox, Flickr, Google and others to your portfolio very easily. I suppose it goes without saying that the documents stored in your portfolio will remain in Slovenia and that there’s no need to worry about your documents disappearing if the cloud services provider goes out business. Do you already know what a school e-card is, where you can see one, and what they’re actually for? What does your website and online classroom look like today, and what will they look like tomorrow? We have already made improvements to the E-school bag and, through a Single Sign On, also linked the important services that make your work easier – such as online surveys.

The community of SIO and E-school bag users will grow very rapidly in the future and you are, or will be, part of this community, too. It will therefore be very useful to bring yourself up to speed with the services that are available to you and simplify your daily work and professional development as well as solve some of your concerns and offload them to ARNES.
