SPECIAL - AUSLAN SCHOOL PROGRAM PACKAGES


Put Auslan web pages and videos directly in your school's website for easy access for all students!


HOW IT WORKS:

1. Purchase a specific Auslan package (for example: Auslan Picture Dictionary)
2. An email with a link will be sent to you for you to download the Auslan package
3. In the link, there will be two zips
    - one zip will contain worksheet activities e-books (for example: Auslan Picture Dictionary, Mix and Match, and Label the Signs e-books)
    - the second zip will contain web pages including Auslan videos
4. Download the first zip to get the e-books for the Auslan teacher
5. Forward the link to your school's IT (computer technican) and ask them to download the second zip and make a private Auslan section in the school's website and put the Auslan web pages in there
6. Your teachers and students are able to access to Auslan videos in your school's website


There are two costs involved:

1. The purchase of a specific Auslan package (for example: Auslan Picture Dictionary which is $200)
Each Auslan package will include e-books (PDFs) and web pages with Auslan videos.
With the e-books, you can print worksheet activities when you teach as they will help students to remember the Auslan signs that they have learnt.

2. $5 per student yearly

For example:

In 2024
Your school purchases two packages:
A - The Auslan Picture Dictionary Package ($200)
B - Auslan Grammar - Depicting Signs Package ($200)
In 2024, your school has a total of 50 students ($5 per student x 50 = $250)
The first year, the total cost is $650

In 2025
Your school didn't purchase any more packages
You are able to continue to teach using the same packages which you purchased the prior year
In 2025, your school has a total of 73 students ($5 x 73 = $365)
Total cost: $365

* No matter how many packages you purchase, the student price stays the same - $5 per student per year.
