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.
The Home Access Programme aims to provide all students aged 5 to 19 access to computers and internet at home for educational purposes. It was launched in 2007 by the Minister of State for Schools and Learners. The programme seeks to narrow the digital divide by offering home access grants to lower-income families for compliant computer packages that include hardware, internet access, technical support, and safety features. The goals are to improve educational outcomes, parental engagement, and access to online services and opportunities for all students regardless of their financial means.
The document discusses the results of a study on the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on air pollution. The study found that lockdowns led to short-term reductions in nitrogen dioxide and fine particulate matter pollution globally as human activity declined. However, the improvements were temporary and pollution levels rebounded once lockdowns were lifted and activity resumed.
Periodic Assessment of Personal Learning and Thinking SkillsBecta
This document discusses using a learning platform (Moodle and Mahara) to periodically assess students' Personal, Learning and Thinking Skills (PLTS) at Walton-le-Dale Arts College and High School. Students self-assessed their PLTS using traffic lights, created learning logs and e-portfolios with evidence of their skills. Teachers then assessed students and modified lessons based on the assessments. Students found the platforms engaging and easy to use to showcase their work and get peer feedback.
