Case Studies
Emerge fell in line with our changing device management
Parkstone Grammar School
|
We discovered Groupcall while searching in desperation for a simpler mobile system to replace our existing solution that was failing. Following an 8-week trial, we purchased 12 licences for use on iPhones, iPods and iPads. I was really impressed with the response and attitude that I received from the pre-sales/technical team at Groupcal. I didn't feel any pressure and the whole team were extremely helpful.

Emerge saves loads of time and is certainly cost-effective
Stoke Damerel Community College
|
Groupcall Emerge has enabled our staff and senior leadership teams to benefit from up-and-coming technologies around portable and tablet-based computing. We are able to give immediate feedback on student information when required and also allow staff to safeguard our pupils by taking registers remotely.

Vice Principals use Emerge to Resolve Behavioural Issues
Holmesdale Technology College and The Malling School
|
The feedback from our teachers has been very positive. They have appreciated both the opportunity to use such a capable mobile device in their lessons and the freedom to teach from anywhere as before they were relying on a desktop PC or rather bulky laptop.

Emerge makes taking registers a breeze!
Ormiston Sandwell Community Academy, West Midlands
|
We were looking for a solution for our PE department where they could take registers whilst in the changing rooms and also when outside for the other sports facilities. We heard about Emerge via the Groupcall website and decided to take them up on their offer of a free trial of Emerge.

Groupcall Emerge is a true success!
Dinnington Comprehensive School, Sheffield
|
We thought that Emerge looked like the perfect solution so we trialled the product in our school and we also ran a test over the holiday period to allow key staff to test the so ftware on both iPad and iPod devices in order to see which was the most suitable device for the users. The feedback from all of our teachers who have tested and continued to the use Emerge are all saying the same things – “Great”, “At Last” and “We should have had something like this sooner
|
Emerge has revolutionised the way we take registers!
Flakefleet Primary School, Lancashire
|
Having successfully implemented Groupcall’s Messenger and Xporter products, we didn’t hesitate in looking at Groupcall for their Emerge solution. After a successful trial of Emerge, we purchased a site licence and this coincided with the purchase of a number of iPads that we gave to our Senior Leadership Team as part of a larger ICT implementation programme. |
Instantly streamlining school efficiencies
The Angmering School, West Sussex
|
Groupcall’s Emerge particularly appealed due to immediately being user-friendly; it presented a fastand simple solution. I was instantly able to recognise its benefits for real-time registering as well as being able to take registers off-site and then to synchronise the data later
|
Specialist Sports College puts communication solution through the paces!
Rush Croft Sports College
|
The PE department has been extremely receptive to the Emerge solution – Our PE teachers love that they can register students on the go or even during a warm up activity, so students can benefit from a full class or activity without registration eating into the time. They have all commented that it has made the start to lessons much, much quicker |
Registration is so easy now, especially for
our PE departments
Sidney Stringer Academy, Coventry
|
Emerge really came into its own for our PE department who are waiting for their sports hall to be built. They are currently in temporary accommodation and at the other end of the site. Using Emerge on the iPods has enabled our PE staff to take their registers off-site in the morning and yet still update our MIS when they come on-site later in the day when they come back within Wi-Fi range of the Academy. |

A full training video is supplied when you subscribe to Emerge.
Groupcall commissioned a DVD showing typical best practise in the event of a school fire. Over 25 Education Authorities and 100 individual schools were consulted to research current procedures used. The purpose of the training video is to show the fire evacuation process, together with the role of the SEMT (Schools Emergency Management Team), how the emergency services respond, the information they require and how a school could communicate with all stakeholders - all made effortless, using Groupcall’s Emerge.
The video is designed to be used as a training tool for staff and students. Its production is a collaboration of Groupcall and Training Scenarios Ltd which combines the crisis management and leadership expertise of Europe’s leading crisis management company (OCTO) with the production skills of TV directors, presenters, cameramen and film editors. With special thanks to the staff and students at The Warriner School in Oxfordshire.
