You can consult the Site free of charge without registering. The consultation mode allows you to make sure eduMedia Resources work well on your devices and to find out more about the eduMedia pedagogical model. The eduMedia Resources are limited in consultation mode, which does not authorize use of the eduMedia Resources in the classroom or in public. 
Only our Subscriptions with secured access authorize projections in the classroom or in public, as well as unrestricted use of eduMedia Resources and related services. The subscription request is entered when you have correctly completed the registration form and paid for the Subscription with the methods of payment available.
Once you have made your payment, you can connect to the service in one of following ways:

• Activation of an LMS-type SSO (single sign on), educational portal, ... or IP recognition.

You may have to make some adjustments on your side at home to finalize connection to the service.
