i-d-e-e is the first educational platform created especially and exclusively for teachers and students of Italian. It is a “blended” learning environment, that permits the combination of classroom lessons with a range of digital and interactive educational materials and resources that are available online and can be used also individually at home. i-d-e-e can be used in group or 1-to-1 lessons, both in person and remotely.
i-d-e-e is an acronym that stands for italiano digitale edizioni edilingua (Digital Italian by Edilingua publications). Edilingua is a publishing house and a world leader in the field of Italian as a foreign language. The books published by Edilingua – which are available in interactive or digital form on the platform – are bestsellers in many countries around the world.
The i-d-e-e platform is the result of many years of planning and testing, during which time Edilingua researched and selected the best educational technologies currently available, before combining them in a single learning environment.
Edilingua is a publishing house founded and run by teachers of Italian. As a result of this, we have been able to create learning resources that are aimed at meeting the requirements of students, as well as teachers, in order to make the teaching and learning process enjoyable, motivating, and effective.
The i-d-e-e platform is a project that is continually evolving. With the help of your feedback, i-d-e-e will continue to be developed, enhanced, and improved. We still have a lot of ideas to accomplish!
Sure, i-d-e-e is an online learning environment, which is accessed using a computer, tablet, smartphone, or any other device connected to the internet. The aim of i-d-e-e is to give students the chance to practice either in class or individually at home, with many useful and engaging tools.
Your computer needs to have an internet connection and a browser (i-d-e-e is optimized for Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome). i-d-e-e can also be accessed using any tablet (iOs, Android or Windows). It doesn’t matter what the dimensions of your screen are, but you need to have speakers or headphones for listening activities. i-d-e-e is compatible with all versions of Windows and Mac operating systems, and you don't need to install anything.
It is free to access i-d-e-e for teachers and schools. However, students who have purchased an Edilingua book can also access i-d-e-e. Each book purchased contains a code inside of the cover, which allows the student to access the i-d-e-e educational materials, resources, and tools for a limited amount of time.
The code (which is made up of letters and numbers) is found inside the cover of the purchased Edilingua book. It is a personal code, and each student needs to enter it on his/her account in i-d-e-e.it after registration. Each code entitles the user to a certain amount of access time, which varies depending on the book. The access time can be utilized within 18 months from the student's activation date, which is the day they register. Students are free to increase the total number of hours they are entitled to or to renew their access time by purchasing new i-d-e-e access hours. They can do this throughout the 18-month period or when their access time expires.
If you need more access time than the free hours that the code entitles you to, you can purchase this online at very reasonable prices (e.g. 20 hours for €2 or 50 hours for €5).
