The Onshape Education plans are the educational versions
of PTC’s Software as a Service product, designed to enable
computer-aided design (CAD) activities in a remote
learning environment. The Education Standard plan has
been free to educational institutions since 2016 and is
available to students and educators who want to use
professional-grade CAD that is completely online. The
newly released Education Enterprise plan builds upon the
Standard plan with features designed to enable universities
and K-12 schools to launch, manage, and scale CAD
activities across entire institutions.
“With online education being a necessity right now, I am
making the full switch to Onshape so that my students
don’t lose any instructional time due to software
constraints if they have to learn remotely from home,” said
David Vinopal, Technology Education Teacher and
Department Chair, Derry Area School District, Pennsylvania.
He added, “Using the Onshape Education Enterprise plan
will help me manage all of the students whether they are
physically in the school building or working from home.
Since there is no major installation or download required, I
am pleased to know that my students will be able to log
into the software and begin learning on day one.”
The Onshape Education Enterprise Plan is easily scaled
across large classes, departments, and institutions, and as
a cloud-based platform, it requires no downloads, installs,
or upgrades. Platform analytics provide visibility into
student usage and activity, and administrative features
allow educators to easily manage and share permissions
within the institution’s private domain.
“As a parent of two school-aged children myself, it is clear
this school year will be unlike any other,” said Kathleen
Mitford, Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy
Officer, PTC. “By providing large-scale educational
institutions with access to the Onshape Education
Enterprise plan free-of-charge, we hope to enable teachers
to continue their STEM-based, CAD lesson plans, whenever
and wherever needed.”
