EcomSchool, E-learning application based around an e-commerce website.

EcomSchool is a pilot educational resource supporting KeyStage 4 level learning in ICT - in particular OCR Nationals in ICT: Unit 8 - Technological Innovation and E-commerce.

At the heart of the resource is a fully functioning e-commerce store, with most of the features you would expect, except for processing real credit card transactions. Pupils can use the store as buyers, browse for products, add them to a basket and purchase with a mock-credit card, or log-in as the site owner and see the back-office functions that the seller would use (upload new products, set up special offers, process orders etc.).

In addition, there are number of supporting resources including workbook, a sample lesson plan, sample teacher presentations and other interactive resources such as quizzes and games. These directly address the assessment objectives of Unit 8 of the OCR National in ICT. There is also a Teacher Pack with guidance and ideas for using the resource.
