Involving your community from an early stage is a critical success factor in implementing your learning platform. Through sharing your vision and goals, you will give everyone a clear understanding of what you are trying to achieve.
A learning platform implementation will have an impact on teachers, staff and pupils. Getting their support is vital, so they will need to understand the reasons for change and how they will benefit. They will need to be prepared for the time when they have to change the way they use and access ICT.
Take time to share your vision with groups or individuals within your community, such as parents, governors, social services, feeder schools and colleges, or pupils unable to attend school – they'll all soon see the potential a learning platform has.
