An Important Update for Virtual Classroom Subscribers.

Thank you for your continued support of the Doc Edge Virtual Classroom. Please note that the current Virtual Classroom programme will be available until 1 June 2026, after which all existing subscriptions will expire.

We are excited to share that a brand new Virtual Classroom is in development and will relaunch later in 2026 with a fresh collection of curated documentaries for schools across Aotearoa New Zealand. New subscriptions will be available once the new programme is ready.

In the meantime, we encourage you to make the most of the current film collection and education resources before 1 June. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at info@docedge.nz.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the new Virtual Classroom later in the year.

The Film Collection

Our collection comprises an array of incredible films, meticulously curated to cater to the needs of educators. These films serve as a powerful supplement to lesson plans, enabling educators to enhance their teaching with engaging visual content. With the Virtual Classroom Subscription, educators gain the freedom to select films that closely align with the New Zealand curriculum, thereby enriching their students’ learning experiences.

In addition to the vast selection of films, we provide comprehensive education kits that accompany each documentary. These kits are designed to assist educators in seamlessly integrating the films into their lessons, offering a range of supplementary materials and resources. By utilising these education kits, educators can ensure that their students derive maximum benefit from the documentaries, fostering a deeper understanding of the subjects explored.

Membership

It is free to sign up or renew for a new Schools subscription account. Once subscribed, you will receive an email with an account login to access the film collection.
