Eduhero Notification - Seizure Awareness & Cybersecurity
Hello,

We know it's a busy time of the year. But had a few important items to share. Moving forward, we are going to send notifications for important information. 

This email is to inform you that we are removing the Seizure Awareness course from Eduhero. During the 86th Legislative Session, this course was added as a requirement and must be TEA-Approved. The ONLY TEA approved course is provided by The Epilepsy Foundation and can be found here. It can be taken free of charge. We apologize for any inconvenience but want to avoid any confusion. 

Any user that has completed Seizure Awareness will keep their certificate and CPE credit. However, it will be removed from any Plan. Please let me know if there are any issues on your end.

In addition to this change, we have great news. We have added a DIR-Approved Cybersecurity for Educators course. It is included, at no additional cost, to our current Heroic Package subscribers. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to help. Have a great day.

-The Eduhero Team

In recent years many of our schools have taken advantage of our Student Portal for digital citizenship, safety, and technology. We want to make sure that all of our existing districts know that this service is FREE for districts subscribed to the Heroic or Custom Portal Packages. In fact, many schools use our Digital Citizenship 5-8 or 9-12 to fulfill their E-Rate requirement.

In addition to these two courses, we offer the following:
  • Concussion Awareness for Teens,
  • Drug & Alcohol Prevention for Students,
  • Internet Safety for Teens (Provided in collaboration with NCMEC & NetSmartz),
  • Intro to Google Slides, and
  • Microsoft Excel - Intro, Intermediate, and Advanced.

If you need help with importing students or general information please contact us at 936-435-8443 or eduhero@esc6.net. Please note that only District & Campus Managers have the ability to access this portal.

Course Update for Jan 2015

January 15th, 2015 3:40PM

We've got some course changes coming up!
On January 16th, we have removed a couple out of date courses. Users will still be able to access certificates if they completed these courses prior, but will no longer be able to launch these courses or take the tests.

Courses to be removed:
  • Bloodborne Pathogens 2013 (replaced with Bloodborne Pathogens 2014)
  • Technology Essentials for Educators 1 (replaced with Technology Essentials: Part 1)
    Note: Technology Essentials for Educators 2 and 3 will also be replaced with entirely new courses. No date is scheduled yet for this update.

If you're having difficulty taking a plan with one of these courses, a manager in your district must update the plan with a new course or remove it entirely.

Thank you for your patience as we transition to a new year, and please let us know any course or feature suggestions you may have.
