Scootles features enable teachers to organise lessons, share content with students and collaborate with colleagues. Scootle is a service freely available to all teachers across Australia.

Usability notes
Many Scootle learning objects require you to drag and drop objects, and were designed to be used with a mouse. If you experience issues with dragging and dropping, or clicking does not work as expected, use one of the following options in the settings menu:
- Theatre Mode, which prevents the screen from scrolling when dragged
- Virtual Mouse, which allows you to drag objects by moving the cursor with two fingers on the touchpad.
