An RM Kaleidos Learning Platform and anytime, anywhere access gives teachers the ability to use a wide range of feature-rich resources to create innovative and exciting lessons that will stimulate and inspire.
They can make optimal use of their PPA time and concentrate on working with and supporting learners. It gives them the freedom to teach.
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.
