...and your school?

The London Grid for Learning completed a procurement process to identifiy the next generation Learning Platform for London a so called 'Managed Learning Environment' (MLE).

The chosen product is fronter. As part of the process of launching the new MLE a roadshow is toured London Local Authorities to enable key staff from schools and the LA to see and here about fronter and the plans to implement it across London.

This is potentially a very significant development which will enable schools to respond to the opportunities afforded by ICT through the use of a class leading Managed Learning Environment.

It is important that all schools are aware of what is possible and to engage in the decisions required to keep Camden at the leading edge of technological developments.

About LGfL

What is a Learning Platform?
A Learning Platform (LP) is “a generic term to describe a system of information and communication technologies that is used to deliver and support learning” (DfES)

In March 2005 the e-Learning Strategy Unit of the DfES launched its e-Strategy –Harnessing Technology: Transforming Learning and Children’s Services. Included in this strategy is the Government’s aim to transform teaching and learning through ICT with every school having a Learning Platform embedded in their school to deliver and support learning.

The term Learning Platform refers to a combination of IT services that support learning and teaching to enable more effective ways of working within and outside the classroom. Key features are communication and collaboration tools; pupil tracking and anytime, anywhere access.
