We also use the platform to track session ratings and feedback from teachers, allowing them to give sessions a score out of 5 (5 being a perfect session). Through the school year, we collected 1,758 educator ratings and the average rating was 4.74/5 (94.8%). The platform is wonderful. It has grown in so many ways and is so helpful to do searches now, coming up with exactly what I need to fit my curriculum. - Grade 2&3 Teacher, Ear Falls, Ontario CONTENT PROVIDERS Content providers are prolific users of the app. It allows us to support their needs by showing them their schedule, outlining all session details so they can prepare effectively, handling shipping of session supplies for them and invoicing and paying them automatically. To date, 318 of our 360 active content providers (88%) have used the platform, an increase from 84% in the previous year. This year there were 3,418 invoices automatically generated for providers, with payment occurring on average within 24 business hours. Since implementing this technology, the app has created over 10,700 invoices. If each invoice used to take on average 15 minutes each for a provider to send and a team member to process, this innovation has saved the team and content providers approximately 5,550 hours (330,000 minutes!) since it was launched. 2,218 resource orders and shipments were also automated by the platform, making it easier for the content providers to engage students with hands-on materials. We continue to be integrated with Canada Postʼs system to notify teachers of packages ready for pick up, as well as Amazon's Fulfilment and Shipping platform for session supply distribution. An important feature this year was integrating the ʻautobookʼ option for Content Providers. They are now able to share their availability on the digital platform, and as long as a teacher requests a session in their available time slot, the request will be accepted and scheduled. 11
