A change for the better is coming

To provide you with stable and safe access to digital teaching and learning materials, we are integrating our platforms and digital solutions. As a result of this process, the ePanel application will no longer be available from January 2024. The dynamic development of Pearson English Connect offers convenient use of digital course components and provides access to tools and functionalities not offered by the ePanel application.

More about Pearson English Connect

What this means for you:

• secure and easy log in procedure, all in one place, 
• easy online and offline access to all resources on any computer (Windows, Mac) and mobile devices,
• convenient cooperation with your students in either remote or in-class mode, including the ability to work with an interactive whiteboard,
• possible access to interactive coursebooks and workbooks, not only in the PDF version, 
• downloadable materials for teachers such as teaching notes, tests, audio and video files, 
• several additional functionalities: assigning homework online, creating your own tests, conducting online classes and monitoring students' progress.

Some of the courses not available on the new Pearson English Connect platform will still be available through the well-known Pearson English Portal.
 

Archived courses

Courses that are no longer on sale but are still available on ePanel, will not be transferred to new platforms due to expired copyright. We encourage teachers who still use archived courses – such as: Activate, Backpack Gold, Big Fun, Cosmic Kids, Exam Activator, Excellent, Friends, Islands, Lifestyle, Market Leader Suplement, My First English Adventure, New Let’s Learn English, New Opportunities, New Sky, New Success, New Total English, Pockets, Side by Side PLUS, Ricky the Robot, Success, Summit, Upbeat, Wonderland - to download necessary materials and save them on own devices before December 31, 2023. We would like to remind you that ePanel allows you to download only some files, including audio and photocopiables. 

Access to digital components on new platforms 

Current access to resources in the ePanel application will not be transferred automatically to new platforms. Pearson English Portal and Pearson English Connect require access code activation.  Teachers who work with our courses and their students have purchased coursebooks or online components will be assisted by our Help Team and local Consultants, who will provide them with access codes to the platforms, if needed.
