Reviewing and Rating

Innovate My School encourages schools to rate and review products and services they have previously bought to help other schools make more informed purchasing decisions. Product star ratings provide "at-a-glance" information about how other users have liked (or disliked) a product based on a 1 to 5 star scale. Product reviews are written by people within the education community to provide more details about the good and/or bad features of each product.

Product ratings and reviews are written by third parties and are for informational purposes only. Innovate My School does not represent or warrant the accuracy, completeness or reliability of the information. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Innovate My School excludes liability for any errors, omissions or delays in this information or for any losses, or damages arising from its display or use, including for any offers or transactions for products and services resulting from this information.

Please note that by submitting a review you agree that your use of product reviews and ratings are governed by our Product Review Guidelines and Terms and Conditions.

Where and how do I write my review?

When you have chosen a product/service you want to review, click the red 'Submit Review' button at the top of the listing page. You can then write your review in the page provided. A handy tip though is to write your review in a word processer first (such as Word) so that you can take your time writing your review and use the spell-check function before submitting it to Innovate My School.

Once you have finished writing your review, click the 'Submit' button at the bottom of the screen. You will then be shown a preview of your review. Read through your review to make sure it is ready to be posted and when you are satisfied, click the green 'Submit' button again to post your review. If you'd like to make changes simply click the 'Edit' button, which will take you back to the previous screen to make the required changes.

 

What happens to my submitted reviews?

Your review will be sent to us and you will receive an email shortly telling you whether it has been approved or not.

 

Can I update my rating?

I'm afraid not. This is to ensure maximum security of reviews.

 

How do I suggest a product/service for the directory?

So you have a product review that you're just itching to write but the product isn't currently listed in the Innovate My School Directory? We are always happy to expand our Directory to make it more useful for schools researching their product choices on Innovate My School, so as long as your suggestion is something that a consumer may be interested in we'd be happy to add it for you! As a rule of thumb, consider whether the product that you want to suggest would be something that you would want to read about online before deciding to purchase it. If the answer is yes, then go ahead!

If you click on the 'Give Feedback' button in the bottom right corner of any page, a small pop-up with a 'Suggestion' box for you to write down the product you would like to see on our Directory. If you're a company wanting to get your product added to Innovate My School, please see our supplier information page.

 

Can I publish a review anonymously?

No, you will have to log in or register with Innovate My School to write a review. This is to ensure the integrity of reviews and so suppliers can see who has written about them.

 

Can I use HTML tags in my reviews?

No. Reviews cannot contain html code.

 

Does Innovate My School censor reviews?

No, Innovate My School does not censor reviews - the site is all about your opinions, not ours! We do, however, have certain, commonsense restrictions about what can and can't be said in a review - see our Terms & Conditions

for more information. The main things to remember for review writing are: no plagiarising, no foul language, don't mention a specific employee's name if reviewing a company, and don't speak negatively of other Innovate My School users.

 

How can I report and get a review removed?

If you find a review that breaks the rules of the site, please click the 'Report' link next to the review you want to report. You will then see a box where you can write why you want to report the review.

 

How does the product rating system work?

Users rate products on a five-star scale.

 

How is the "Average Product Rating" calculated?

The Average Product Rating is a simple average of all posted ratings for that product.

 

Can I rate a product without submitting a review?

No, you will have to write a review to rate a product. This is to ensure all ratings are backed up with a reason.
