Academ-e is het homeschool-logboek voor onderweg. Leg snel bewijs van je thuisonderwijs vast — met foto's, notities en tickets — zodat je altijd klaar bent voor de inspectie. Alles gebruikt hetzelfde Academ-e-account als de website. WAAROM ACADEM-E • Documenteer in seconden: tik op "Documenteer nu", voeg een foto en een korte notitie toe, en je activiteit staat in het logboek. • Werkt ook offline: geen internet? Je opslag komt in een wachtrij en synchroniseert automatisch zodra je weer online bent. • Koppel aan onderwijsdoelen: verbind activiteiten met de Onderwijsdoelen 2.0 en volg je voortgang. LOGBOEK & AGENDA • Dag-, week- of maandoverzicht van alles wat je hebt vastgelegd. • Studietimer: meet hoelang je werkt en zet de minuten meteen in je logboek. • Herinnering "documenteer vandaag" zodat je niets vergeet. LEREN • Volg je cursussen en lees lessen op je telefoon. • Ontdek kant-en-klare leerplannen om te volgen of te bewaren. • Oefen met flashcards, schrijfoefeningen (traceren, lijnen en vrij schrijven) en snelle notities. GROEPEN & ACTIVITEITEN • Vind lokale homeschool-groepen, volg de feed en doe mee met activiteiten. • Plaats berichten, reageer en blijf in contact met andere gezinnen. • Bekijk happenings in de buurt op de kaart. OUDER & KIND • Ouders bekijken het logboek van hun kind (alleen-lezen) en wisselen eenvoudig van account. • Koppel accounts veilig via Academ-ID of QR-code. TALEN Beschikbaar in het Nederlands, Frans en Engels — de app volgt je accountvoorkeur en je kunt altijd wisselen. Academ-e is gemaakt voor thuisonderwijs in België: eenvoudig, snel en gericht op wat telt — bewijs verzamelen en je leerdoelen opvolgen.
