These were a series of DfES funded events, hosted by LGfL, to inform London’s schools of the current DfES strategy concerning Learning Platforms.

They provided an opportunity for school leaders to learn more about the embedding of such technologies into their schools development.

There was representation from the DfES, Becta, NCSL, London’s LAs, schools and the LGfL. The events presented information detailing Funding and Deployment, Training and Embedding, Learning Platform Developments as well as some of the more technical aspects.

The presentations provided practical evidence of how the LGfL procured solution has benefitted London’s schools, teachers and learners. The presentations are available as below.
