This document discusses the need for learning platforms in schools and provides guidance for implementing them. It begins by outlining the aims of explaining why learning platforms are needed, sharing examples of best practices, and providing criteria for success. It then discusses how learning platforms can transform and personalize learning, raise standards, and meet statutory requirements. The document cautions that learning platforms should not be just websites or classroom tools, and should have interactivity. It provides exercises for schools to reflect on their progress and plan next steps, including establishing leadership, providing training, and addressing challenges. The goal is for schools to work together to continuously improve learning platforms.
