Sora Showcase
Sora Showcase is our user-friendly, interactive kiosk software designed to promote your digital collection in your schools. Set up Sora Showcase in high-traffic areas to highlight titles from your school’s Sora collection and encourage students and staff to explore your content.
Sora Showcase works on devices ranging from tablets to large screen displays.
How does Sora Showcase work
Sora Showcase scrolls through titles from your school’s curated collections. Students can interact with Showcase to view title details and read samples. They can also scan a QR code to go directly to Sora.
Sora Showcase can be customized to fit the needs and interests of students at your school. You can promote the different formats, subjects, and languages your collection offers. Or, set up Showcase at open houses and school events to introduce your Sora collection to your community.
