STUDENT CENTRED TEACHING & LEARNING PLATFORM

Our world is changing… fast...in this progressive world of online learning; our expectations of how we access our work and connect to the people around us are changing as well.

With smart phones, tablet technology and online learning becoming ever more prevalent in our classrooms, students expect a more personalised, engaging and instant approach to learning.

In an environment of financial challenge, educational budget cuts, more demanding curriculum and rigorous inspection standards;

additional strain is being placed upon busy educators who are already working at capacity. As a result, teacher productivity is affected and student achievement can decline.

Curriculum: Plan, align and manage teaching and learning resources without logging into separate systems. A central library brings together resources from publishers, the itslearning online community and your own staff, minimising the number of platforms that teachers, students and parents have to access. Save time when developing your learning curriculum by sharing course templates, resources and lesson plans online, promoting best practice and encouraging staff collaboration.

Learning: Deliver engaging lessons while ensuring that resources, assessments and activities are aligned to learning objectives. Provide voice and choice, personalisation and facilitate collaboration through discussion boards and blogs. Help students progress by giving concrete, actionable feedback using assessment criteria attached to learning objectives. Finally, give teachers the tools to easily plan, find resources and communicate with both learners and parents.

Communication and Collaboration: Strengthen school communities by providing safe spaces for groups of students and teachers to interact outside of normal classroom activities. Create student communities for extra-curricular clubs and professional learning communities for teachers. Engage parents in their child’s school lives through a dedicated Parent Portal, with automatic student updates on academic progress, behaviour and more.

Personalisation: With itslearning, students have access to a variety of ways to self-reflect and track progress towards goals, including blogs, ePortfolios and Individual Learning Plans. Help students to own their learning by using tools such as surveys to gather student input, and the content recommendation engine to suggest activities and resources based on their personal learning style.

Professional Learning: Support consistency in quality and productivity by providing teachers with a way to connect, collaborate and share resources and best practices. Use courses and assessment criteria to give feedback to teachers against professional learning standards. Deliver professional development in the same platform in which teachers teach, so they can see what learning can look like in their own classrooms.
