Personalised access to an RM Kaleidos Learning Platform enables learners to access the resources and support they need, when they need them. They can assume responsibility for their own learning - and progression.
It gives them the freedom to explore their world, develop new skills and take advantage of new opportunities.
Jess is keener on sport than the average student. She's looking for new challenges at her school's annual Sports Day - some different sports to try. But what kind? She needs to get some ideas and input from her schoolmates and her teachers. She could put an 'ideas box' in the school corridor, but the last one went missing.
The answer is to use the learning platform, and set up an online discussion forum. Teachers often discuss issues through these forums in their own limited-access areas, and students can create their own forums too, with as little or as much teacher supervision as is required.
Jess sets up a Sports Day Forum, and invites teachers and students to contribute their suggestions. Among the contributors is the Games teacher, who organises Sports Day, and after a lively few weeks of discussion, plans are drawn up for three new sports to be included the following year.
Learning platforms encourage and facilitate debate and communications between all parties - not just learners or teachers, but learners and teachers. Debate can even be opened up with parents too. Learning platforms help to bring learning communities closer together.
