It’s time for a smarter eBook platform
Today, most school eBook platforms fall short. They’re clunky to manage, difficult for students to use, and lack the tools schools need to support personalised, accessible learning.
ePlatform brings together a cost-effective eBooks subscription, literacy support tools, and reporting features into one seamless platform made for schools in Singapore. Built-in accessibility tools and flexible admin controls help you support every student, streamline reading programs, and improve school-wide engagement.
School-ready integrations with LMS platforms and single sign-on (SSO) systems.

Staff like the grammar options that identify parts of speech. The collection is extensive but we also use the shop to buy requested items that students have added to their wish lists and these are supplied very quickly. The single sign on feature is very welcome and students pick up how to use ePlatform really speedily. From a librarian's point of view, there is no cataloguing, processing or repairing, the books get automatically returned so there are no overdues or lost books. A list of new titles is emailed periodically and the settings can be changed to stop certain age groups accessing material designed for older readers. Accessit works in tandem with ePlatform, so all titles a school has access to are on one catalogue. I thoroughly recommend ePlatform!
This has enabled students who are struggling with print copies of class sets to keep up with the class reading requirements. Even if we can't provide an Audio copy, we have the advantage of the spoken translation option with all of the eBooks. This has opened up access for many students. We added the Wellness Collection last year. Our Guidance Department paid for this. We felt that this was a great way for student to access important material with complete anonymity. Our plan is to approach our International Department and Language Departments to promote the use of bilingual text using the new tools. We are excited to have 150+ languages available without spending time and space trying to develop a collection focussed around this.
There is a good selection of books, it's free and the loan duration is a good length of time. We launched it through the school website to parents and initially trialled it within English lessons but then went to whole year groups when it was introduced with the Literary Canon reading time every day. We have found it is good for EAL students as we can often find translated texts and also for visually impaired students as you can change the font size or use an audible option. We found out about ePlatform through the trust's links with the Blackpool Literacy project and the English trust link Estelle Bellamy. We would recommend it highly to other schools who wish to promote independent reading at secondary level as it merges the world of technology.
The amount of loans on the ebooks and audio books for last month was amazing. Thank you so much for providing such an amazing service. I promoted through emails to students and staff and also by just having power points running in the library showcasing how to use the platform and what they can use it for. In the run up to the holidays I have been putting information on our daily notices also. Anytime a student asks for a book and we do not have it, ePlatform is the first place I look to see if it is available through it. The teachers are also promoting it in class, with students having the option of using ePlatform for silent reading (10 to 15 minutes a day).
The eBook platform is the part of our library services that remains open and available to our students 24/7. That means we can provide quality reading materials during school holiday breaks, lockdowns, or while sick at home. We launched our ePlatform two weeks before the country went into its first lockdown. A lot of communication was done by email notices and flyers to let parents at home know how to access the eBooks. Our students totally engaged with it – and our loans went through the ceiling. Once or twice a year I promote the platform to classes visiting the library. I remind them how to access the platform and show them some of the latest appealing titles. I do this on a large display screen and play snippets of audiobooks so that they can hear the quality and the effects (music and accents etc).
We have been enthusiastic users of the Wheelers ePlatform Digital Library since 2017. In our annual library budget, I make provision for two annual eBook subscriptions and one audiobook subscription, as well as for monthly new releases for our Private Collection. The reason for taking out a second eBook subscription in 2020, was that we were regularly exceeding our 250 loans per month on the Shared Collection…a good problem to have! The second subscription has allowed us to meet the students’ demand for eBook titles without them having to wait until the end of the month when the loan limit resets. This has been warmly welcomed by our students and their teachers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Access thousands of eBooks for a fraction of the cost
ePlatform's eBook Shared Collections offer schools a cost-effective way to access a vast and professionally curated digital library. Schools join a consortium, grouped by age range and geographic location, to share access to a much larger collection of eBooks than they could afford individually. This provides students with 24/7 access to a rich library of eBooks from leading international and local publishers and authors.
These collections are dynamic and regularly updated, with new eBooks added every month. This ensures students consistently have access to fresh and engaging reading material, including recent bestsellers and award winners. Furthermore, titles are specifically matched to your school's year levels and curriculum needs, incorporating a significant number of curriculum-aligned eBooks relevant to each region. This makes the collection a valuable resource not only for independent reading but also for classroom learning and curriculum integration across various subject areas and learning outcomes.
The development of these collections is a collaborative effort, combining ePlatform's expert curation with data-driven insights and feedback from member schools. A Fair Use policy is an essential component of this shared model, ensuring that all participating members have equitable access to resources while benefiting from an expansive and affordable digital library. While ePlatform's Shared Collections offer incredible breadth and value, Private Collections provide individual schools with exclusive control and ownership over specific digital titles.
Integrate eBooks with your existing school systems
Students and staff can easily access ePlatform's eBooks through various convenient methods. The platform seamlessly integrates with common school systems, including Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Google Classroom and library management systems such as Softlink Oliver and Accessit Library. This allows for streamlined Single Sign-On (SSO), often via authentication methods like SAML, LDAP, and SIP2, meaning users can log in with their existing school credentials, simplifying access and reducing the need for multiple usernames and passwords.
Beyond system integrations, ePlatform is accessible directly via any web browser on computers and laptops. For a more tailored experience, dedicated ePlatform mobile and tablet apps are available for iOS, Android, and Windows devices. These apps provide a user-friendly interface for Browse, borrowing, and reading eBooks, even offering offline reading capabilities.
Literacy support tools to empower every reader
Every ePlatform eBook is equipped with features to support students facing various reading challenges, including those with dyslexia or ADHD, and EAL (English as an Additional Language) students. Readers can customize their viewing experience by adjusting font size and selecting from various background colors to reduce visual fatigue and aid focus. The platform specifically offers dyslexia-friendly fonts, designed to improve readability.
Additionally, tools like line focus can help students with ADHD maintain their place in the text. For EAL students and others needing comprehension support, ePlatform provides both written and spoken translation features for words or passages, along with a picture dictionary for visual vocabulary assistance. Furthermore, features such as grammar and sentence structure markup can highlight parts of speech, aiding in understanding complex sentence constructions and improving language comprehension.
Gain insights into reading habits and engagement
ePlatform provides comprehensive reporting dashboards for staff, offering real-time insights into your school's digital library usage. Administrators and teachers can track key metrics such as borrowing trends, popular eBook titles, reading time, and student engagement at the school, class, and individual student levels. These robust analytics help you monitor reading progress, identify areas for support, inform literacy planning, and make data-backed decisions to enhance your digital library's impact.
Seamless setup and dedicated assistance every step of the way
Setting up your school's ePlatform digital library is designed for quick and easy implementation, often achieved within just one business day after your registration. ePlatform offers a streamlined process with flexible integration options for your existing school systems. Our dedicated support team provides comprehensive assistance, from initial setup guidance and troubleshooting to ongoing technical support. We are committed to ensuring your school gets the most out of its subscription, making the launch and continued management of your digital library as smooth and efficient as possible.
We also provide a range of ready-to-use promotional materials, including posters, digital banners for school websites, social media images, bookmarks, and draft letters to parents and all-staff emails. These resources are designed to help your school effectively launch and promote its new digital library, exciting students and staff about the available collection and encouraging widespread use.
Personalise your digital library with your school's identity
Yes, you can absolutely customise your school's ePlatform portal to reflect your unique identity. ePlatform allows you to personalise the look and feel of your digital library, including options to add your school's logo, colour theme and branding. You can also create custom homepage collections to highlight staff picks, showcase seasonal reads, or feature titles relevant to specific year levels and subjects. This level of customisation helps students feel a stronger connection to their digital library and makes it easier for staff to promote relevant content.
