Can online social media motivate your students?
Today’s students watch YouTube, upload images to Flickr and follow their friends on Twitter. And now they can at school, too. With it’s learning, students can create project pages for study groups, share their interests on blogs, take part in classroom debates online, showcase their work in their own ePortfolios, upload videos they make at home, and much more – all within a safe school-controlled environment.

Assessment for Learning

The tools you need for assessment for learning
Every teacher is expected to implement assessment for learning in the classroom. With itslearning, formative assessment has never been easier. You can match learning objectives from the national curriculum with each activity in a course or individual student learning plan. And each student has two portfolios: a working portfolio with a list of tasks, a work log and the learning objectives; and an assessment portfolio for their finished work. You can add notes and improvement suggestions to work in the portfolios – and use the assessment portfolio to reflect with them on their finished work.

Parents

Following your child’s progress has never been easier 
Parental involvement is essential for a child’s educational success, so we’ve given parents their own dedicated portal. Each parent has a secure username and password, and they simply log-in to get a full overview of their children’s up-coming tasks, as well as their grades and attendance and behaviour reports. The parent portal saves teachers time, too.  Activation of the parent portal ensures that relevant information on attendance, behaviour, marks and grades, is presented to parents in a simple and clear overview without the teacher having to spend time writing individual reports.

Administration

If it’s in the cloud, great software doesn’t have to cost the earth
For many schools, a virtual learning environment is a big investment. And not just in terms of licences. Server hosting, maintenance and upgrades all add up. Not with itslearning as our platform is hosted in a secure online environment, so you don’t have to worry about additional hardware, upgrades, data security or day-to-day operations. And we integrate our system with your existing MIS – so all your data is ready to use. But you still have control. You can administer access settings for users, design your school intranet, restrict the file types each user can open, and much more.
