How to Access ePEARL

School divisions/independent schools have two options to access ePEARL during the 2007 - 2008 school year. These include:

  1. Contracting with MERLIN to host ePEARL
    Go to the MERLIN website to get details about services provided, costs, and contact information for ePEARL hosting.
  2. Hosting ePEARL yourself
    Visit the CSLP website for:
    • the ePEARL software for download (there is no cost)
    • installation guide (which includes minimum specifications for running ePEARL)
    • other helpful resources
    • contact information for help

Teachers in schools/divisions without ePEARL access can obtain a limited trial ePEARL account by contacting Rosalind Robb or John Finch.

Please note: A new version of ePEARL was released August 20, 2007. Improvements include:

  1. The level 1 (grades K-3) student interface now includes more opportunities for young students to record their reflections and responses to their reading and writing, instead of relying on a 'buddy' to key them in.
  2. The level 2 (grades 4-6) and level 3 (grade 7-12) interfaces now include guided instruction in the self-regulated learning process: setting goals, establishing criteria, providing descriptive feedback, motivation, and reflection, when creating a new piece of work.

Go to the CSLP website for updated information.
