What is the Jacaranda Digital Bundle?
The Jacaranda Digital Bundle is a package of up to 15 Jacaranda digital resources covering 9 different subjects for each student per year level. This digital package is
cloud hosted content accessible via the JacPLUS portal at https://www.jacplus.com.au. The Jacaranda Digital Bundle is a products and service end-to-end package
provided directly to schools across year levels 7-12. Jacaranda creates, populates, connects and manages all school accounts attached to the Bundle. All Jacaranda
products are device agnostic providing equity for students across all technologies.
Overview
This document will step you through our implementation plan, minimum requirements and recommendations to ensure a smooth integration between our JacPLUS
products and your school network. Jacaranda believes that the Digital Bundle is the ideal educational resource solution for all schools at any stage of their digital

Implementation Workflow
Stage 1: Trial and testing stages (Term 3 and 4)
As the Key Decision Makers at your school and our Jacaranda Sales team are finalising the adoption of the Digital Bundle, trialing teachers and/or classes may need
access. A Digital Account Specialist will be assigned to your school that will provide you with this document, have an implementation discussion with you and ask
you to submit the digital assessment questionnaire to ensure that users at the school can access the online content and software without any restrictions. We will
monitor how the trial is going and try to resolve any implementation and troubleshooting issues during this period. Our aim is to ensure that teachers gain
confidence teaching with the new digital resources so that all users have uninterrupted access on the first day of school.
Items that must be implemented during this period:
- The Digital Assessment has been filled out and you have had an implementation discussion with your Digital Account Specialist
- The domains have been whitelisted
- Class trials set up
Stage 2: Finalisation (Term 4)
The Key Decision Makers at your school and our Jacaranda Sales team have finalised the adoption of the Digital Bundle. The Key Decision Makers must formally
finalise the decision by signing an agreement and supplying an official purchase order from the school
- The Service Level Agreement has been signed by the authorized signatory at your school and Jacaranda
- A purchase order for all enrolled students has been provided to Jacaranda
- Key implementation dates have been discussed that best suit the school and Jacaranda
Stage 3: Rollout and Day 1 (Term 1)
At Jacaranda, the main point of contact is your Digital Account Specialist who oversees the entire implementation. Your school will have a nominated key contact for
your Account Specialist. Both require the help of key Administrators at the school to aid with the collection of user data, parent payments, reconciling accounts
against invoices, and to communicating effectively to the parent body. All licensed students and teachers will have access day 1 of term 1.
- Student enrollment data has been provided to Jacaranda for the new academic year and accounts created and access provided
- Updated teacher data has been provided to Jacaranda and accounts created and access provided
- Classroom data has been provided to Jacaranda, connections created and collaboration enabled

Whitelisting
When implementing Jacaranda’s digital resources within your school network, the domains on the next page must be white listed to ensure successful
implementation and ongoing access. Jacaranda has agreements and licenses with 3rd party content providers in order to provide you the best quality online content
and products. For example, one of those third party providers found in our white list is MathJax which allows us to display equations in our HTML for our
mathematics titles.
All 3rd party licenses and agreements have been vetted, strictly for educational purposes and all must comply with the Australian Privacy Act.
Here are a few commonly asked questions regarding whitelisting and why it is important.
3rd Party Email Server:
If your school uses a third party email server (e.g.: Google Mail) please whitelist the following domains - @wiley.com, @assesson.com.au, @kquest.com.au,
@studyon.com.au, @myworldatlas.com.au, @learnon.com.au

Offline access for iPad only Schools
For students using an iPad, Jacaranda offers a free iPad App that allows users to sync their online JacPLUS account and view their full bookshelf, download the
eBookPLUS and work offline. We highly recommend that you list this in your Mobile Device documentation for parents.
JacPLUS Bookshelf App: http://apple.co/2cC0WG1
More Info: http://bit.ly/2cTgpkR
An internet connection is required to download the iPad App and any eBooks/digital resources within the titles, once finished downloading they can be used offline.
Recommended iPad user settings
Private Browsing Mode
Jacaranda users who have enabled Private Browsing on their iPad may experience issues with their online products. For optimised viewing of the Jacaranda
products please turn browsing mode off.
Restrictions on iPads
Jacaranda users who have enabled Restrictions on their iPad may experience issues with their online products. For optimised viewing of the Jacaranda products
please turn off the restrictions on the iPad during school hours or study time.

Page | 16Jacaranda Product Bandwidth load testing
All Jacaranda digital products are thoroughly tested. It is strongly recommended that you initiate bandwidth load testing with your IT service provider within your
network. This will you give some idea as to whether the bandwidth in your school or the devices you are using will slow down your access to jacPLUS significantly.
Jacaranda can recommend many ways of how to deliver the digital content in-class while reducing or managing the load on your network.
To conduct a bandwidth load test, you need to organise at least a class of students (e.g. 25 students) to access jacPLUS titles at the same time. It is also a good idea
to conduct the bandwidth load test at a time during the school day when there is heavy traffic of students and teachers accessing the internet.
Benchmarks
Below are benchmarks from bandwidth load testing (without proxy caching) for each of the following digital-first products. Keep in mind that there may be
variables in your school network that can slow down access e.g.
• Memory capacity in student devices.
• Available bandwidth to access the internet at different times.
• Wireless network capacity and availability of access points in your school
• Processor power in student and teacher devices

Page | 18Bandwidth load test procedure
Below is a recommended procedure for conducting a bandwidth load test. A bandwidth load test is encouraged to be performed with your trialing class in advance
of finalising the adoption in order to understand your bandwidth, access point and black spot performance or limitations. After conducting a bandwidth load test,
supply your results to Jacaranda so that we can recommend possible solutions or work-arounds.
Conducting an in-class bandwidth load test
Ask your students to access their JacPLUS account. (If the students do not have a JacPLUS account, please contact Jacaranda / Customer Success Specialist).
learnON
1. Ask students to open the same Jacaranda title from their
bookshelf at the same time.
2. Ask students to navigate to the same chapter (note
whether all students are able to access the text content in
the chapter. This includes navigating between the different
parts of the same chapter).
3. Ask students to access the same video at the same time
(note whether all students are able to access the video).
4. If students are experiencing slowness with accessing
learnON content, questions or videos – this may indicate
that bandwidth is limited inside your school network.
Jacaranda
Last Updated: 10/09/2018
Page | 19Knowledge Quest
1. If loading takes longer than a few minutes – this may indicate that
bandwidth is limited inside your school network. (This may be
resolved with caching Knowledge Quest).
2. Ask students to play a Quick Play Duel. If the animation of the
character is moving slow and ‘bumpy’ – this may indicate that the
computer used by students is not powerful enough or does not have
enough memory (RAM).
Jacaranda myWorld Atlas
1. Ask students to open Jacaranda myWorld Atlas from their bookshelf
at the same time. (Note the loading of the globe for each student by
looking at the loading progress). If loading is longer than a minute
this may indicate that bandwidth is limited inside your school
network.
2. Ask students to navigate to select Main menu (on the right-hand side
of the globe) and to navigate to Explore location > Australian States >
Queensland. (Note the animation of the navigation for each student).
If the animation of the navigation is slow and ‘bumpy’ – this may
indicate that the computer used by students is not powerful enough
and does not have enough memory (RAM).
3. Ask students to open up the section on Queensland. Navigate
through the menu on the left-hand side. - If the animation of the
navigation is slow and ‘bumpy’ – this may indicate that the computer
used by students is not powerful enough and does not have enough
memory (RAM).
