MAGELLAN
SIMPLIFYING ACCESS TO LEARNING
PICTURE THE SCENE...
Teachers – picture the scene. You’ve got 30 students in the class settling down to learn. Your planned lesson is going to involve viewing specific websites, opening certain apps (some online, some locally installed) and creating content.
Multiple logins, multiple devices, forgotten passwords… mayhem.
But what if your students could have access to a personalised dashboard that gave them one-click access to any website or application your school uses, from any internet connected device, for any lesson, whether at home or school?
And what if, when you bought into a new technology service, all student accounts were automatically created and just a click away?
Welcome to Magellan.
What is Magellan?
Magellan is an easy-to-use, efficient, cloud-based portal for schools. It improves students’ learning and engagement by enabling automated user management and Single Sign-On (SSO) access to a wide range of applications and resources.
Magellan provides access to everything your students need in just one single login – and is available online, from any device, including Android and iOS devices.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
STEP 1:
Create Your Users
Schools can automatically create accounts for teachers and students by seamlessly integrating Magellan with your MIS. Magellan can automate the set-up of student accounts in Active Directory and in Office 365 and in MS Teams. It can even set up accounts for multiple online apps.
STEP 2:
Customise Your Dashboards
Pull together all the resources your school needs - applications, personal and shared files, emails, personal timetable, homework planner, noticeboards, school information – into customisable dashboards.
STEP 3:
Easy Access to Resources
Using a single sign-on solution, students get instant access to all learning resources from their dashboard - anytime, anywhere, from any device. Give students access to all school apps, wherever they are in the world.
With Magellan, you can…
- Get 1-click access to all of your favourite education resources and tools

What CAN A Personalised Dashboard Include?
You can choose from more than 200 pre-configured apps when using Magellan. However, if there’s a specific app that your class needs but it’s not included, we’ll add it free of charge.

1 terabyte of data
FREE FOR EVERY STUDENT
Did you know Microsoft offers schools 1 terabyte of data per student with any Microsoft licence? However, students can only access the data storage through Sharepoint, which makes the offer incredibly complicated to obtain.
Not with Magellan.
Magellan automatically maps each student’s Sharepoint drive onto the school network, giving your students access to their very own data storage in a familiar and understandable way – wherever they are in the world, on whatever device.
