Roles in Skolon 

Skolon is role and rights-managed, where users gain access to different functions in the platform based on their assigned role

Teacher

These features create the conditions for a teacher-driven purchasing process where teachers are involved in decisions and purchases of their digital learning resources.

Student

Students primarily use Skolon for easy access to their digital learning resources and tools from My Collection.
