Easy, yet secure, access to an RM Kaleidos Learning Platform allows parents and guardians to get involved with their child's learning and offer support when it's needed.
It gives them an insight into life, and all-important progress, at school and the opportunity to share in
any success.
Jack is a bright, lively Year 6 pupil with an appetite for out-of-school activities, especially art. His new passion is pottery, an enthusiasm kindled by an aunt who lives some distance away. But his school doesn't have a kiln, or even a teacher who knows about pottery. Jack's teacher, Jennifer, thinks he could get a lot out of pottery, and she knows that some other schools in the area may be able to help.
Jennifer uses the learning platform to get in touch with another school in the area that specialises in art and craft activities - and finds out that they do indeed have a kiln. One of the teachers there has a few video clips of her after-school pottery class and puts them in a shared resources folder on the learning platform. Jack can check out the class without leaving his own classroom - and his parents can have a look too by logging on from their home PC.
Learning platforms enable greater collaboration at school level too, and by easily and simply facilitating the sharing of resources, they can extend learning by sharing expertise.
