The document provides an overview of itslearning staff training for administrators. It discusses itslearning's vision of helping to improve education by focusing on teaching and learning processes and supporting best practices. Administrators are responsible for maintaining the site structure, user accounts, appearance, and bulletin boards. The key roles of a system administrator include creating users, managing accounts and permissions, overseeing whole-site areas, editing global settings, and profiles. Dividing administrative responsibilities among multiple people may make management more practical.
6. • Support for best practice
teaching and learning processes
• The best user experience across
browsers, devices and operating
systems
• An open platform
itslearning’s Strategy!

8. Utilise the Blended Classroom
• Teaching and Learning happens
in several areas
• itslearning is the bridge between
these areas
• We help teachers realize the
huge potential in the
intersections
9. To understand the main administrative
tasks and who is responsible for what
We are here to improve education
10. Every organisation must appoint
people with the responsibility
for maintaining:
- structure,
- user accounts
- “look and feel”
- bulletin board
If this responsibility is divided
between several people, it may
be practical to divide the total
responsibility into various
responsibilities.
All administrators have an
Admin tab in the top menu.
The Role of the administrator
11. • The system administrator has superior
responsibility for the structure of the site.
It is recommended that the user account
of the system administrator is used
exclusively to change settings and get
information that applies to the site as a
whole.
• If the system administrator also works as a
teacher, all work with courses and
educational activity should be done with
another user account.
In summary:
• Create users.
• Manage accounts and permissions.
• Looks after whole-site areas.
• Edit global settings.
• Edit profiles.

Editor's Notes
Opening screen: Logo with tagline
Use this format for high contrast as a holding screen before you start.
I also want to talk a bit about our strategy. Some of you may already know this well – and by heart – and I apologise if what I am now about to tell you is well know. But whenever I give a presentation about itslearning – no matter who I give it to – I always try to include this slide. This includes customer presentations, sales meetings, release webinars, internal webinars or even regularly on meetings with the product management team.
A reminder – the three pillars of our product strategy!
Best practice support: design features that support educational best practice as identified by educational experts and our users, from blended learning to visible learning
Ease of use: deliver the best user experience in terms of not just interface design and performance of features, but also interaction between data and processes
Open platform: design itslearning so that it fits in with the rest of the school’s IT infrastructure, from importing and using digital content to exporting reports
Ideation: We get more than 400 ideas a week through the idea portal, customer requests, support tickets, etc.
Dialogue: Sales organisations, account managers and the product team are constantly involved in customer and user dialogue
Proven practice: We know what works, constantly referring to research, school visits, best practices, etc.
National guidelines: We adhere to legal, curriculum and education guidelines from the countries where we work
Background:
Much of proven practice is described by Professor John Hattie at University of Auckland, New Zealand. He has done a large study of 800 meta-analyses of education research in the US, the UK and Australia covering more than 50,000 studies, and has used this to summarise proven practice in the field of education. Hattie’s analysis has resulted in a table of 138 different approaches to raise achievement in schools – and his main conclusion is that both teaching and learning must be visible for all stakeholders in order to have an effect.
The illustration shows the front cover of his book “Visible learning: A synthesis of over 800 meta-analyses relating to achievement”.
As a summary of our roadmap, here is a list of measures (or factor inputs) that contribute to an increased learning outcome.
The list is put together based on different sources, and the conclusion is clear: What teachers and learners do matters.
Teaching and learning happens in many areas; At school, at home and online.
An important goal for us in itslearning is to help teachers realize the potential in the intesections between home, the school and the online sphere.
