Booking Kits & Videos (Medianet)

Medianet is an online booking system that allows employees from both the Greater Essex County District School Board and the Windsor Essex Catholic District School board access to thousands of educational resources from our Educational Learning Resource Centre. Resources include hands on educational kits (GECDSB only), digital video/DVD library and textbook hub (GECDSB only).

END OF YEAR MEDIANET BOOKINGS

Effective May - June only.

YOU MUST MANUALLY OVERRIDE THE END DATE IN MEDIANET TO A DATE THAT IS BEFORE THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL.

When booking physical kits and resources, Medianet automatically populates a return-date. Science kits are 6 weeks in length, novel sets are 4 weeks by default and will push you past the last day of school causing your booking to be unavailable until September.

From the Order Form screen, before clicking on "Test Availability", use the "Return" drop-down selection to alter the end date to any date before the last day of school. Once you've adjusted the date, proceed to "Test Availability".

For the 2024/2025 school year, Medianet bookings will open on August 1st, 2024.
