This video introduces the Application Library as a central place to organise and manage a school's EdTech applications, and walks through permissions and publishing a new application.
Open the left-hand menu and select Application Library.
Note: The library can be used on its own or with 9ine's Vendor Platform. It helps schools audit, manage and get the most from their EdTech, reduce duplicated features and control costs.
Use the library's features:
Label applications that use artificial intelligence, along with any associated safeguarding risks.
Filter by curriculum topic, age restriction and other criteria to find subject-relevant, age-appropriate tools.
Review and rate applications to share classroom experience with colleagues.
Link to 9ine's Vendor Management and privacy tools for privacy-vetted contracts, information security policies and safeguarding checks, and connect applications to Data Protection Impact Assessments, Records of Processing and Incident Management.
To grant administrator permissions, a 9ine Platform administrator selects the Application Library administrator permission.
Alternatively, enabling the user-level permission under Application Library lets authorised users view and interact with content without publishing, editing or deleting.
Administrators select New Application in the Application Library.
In the popup, complete the two required fields: Title and Approval Status (Pilot, Approved, Coming Soon, Restricted or Rejected).
If your school has access to 9ine's Privacy or Vendor Platforms, use the Vendor and POA fields at the top.
Note: Selecting a POA fills in the application title, which you can edit without affecting the original assessment.
Record key details: age restrictions, AI usage (with an AI risk profile from predefined categories or a custom option), safeguarding guidance, and whether the application is specific to a subject, department, language or school site.
IT can document supported operating systems, recommended browsers and login methods, such as single sign-on or credential-based access.
Add the thumbnail, description, overview media, attachments, audience and tags. These appear on the application tile and in the library's preview view.
Complete the administrator-only fields: Managed By, Year, Next Review Date and Internal Notes.
Note: These appear in both the new and edit workflows.
