Administration Training Courses

To help VLE coordinators learn more about itslearning administration, we are now putting together a series of regional one day courses hosted in local schools for £125 per teacher.

What you will learn

itslearning Administration Courses are delivered as a full day session aimed at the lead teacher who is coordinating the use of itslearning in school.

Each school should have at least one person who is familiar with basic administration of itslearning.  Once our training team show you how to do common tasks such as uploading users in bulk or creating a policy to deny/grant access to a component of the VLE for an individual or group, it is then easy to manage your VLE.  Once confident and self sufficient with VLE administration, it is much easier to develop a good implementation and get teachers using it across the curriculum to ensure that your school is really getting value for money.

Areas Covered

  • Administrative roles and rights
  • Understanding and managing hierarchies (groups)
  • Dashboard management
  • Central administration of courses
  • Creating Policies to control user privileges
  • E-safety settings
  • Managing and uploading users

Booking your place

In order to book your place on one of the administration training courses, please print off and complete the Administrator Training Order Form below remembering to include a school purchase order to cover the cost of the course (£125 per delegate) and fax it back to Christian Harkus on 01293 474020.  We will then confirm your booking by return.

Course venues and dates

  • dates tba

Please note that each host school has agreed to supply food and refreshments during the day so we ask delegates to pay the school £5 each on the day to cover the hosts costs - this is in addition to the cost of the course.

If there is not currently a course in your area, we are looking to roll out this programme nationally and are actively seeking schools that would be willing to host in return for a free seat on the course.  Please contact darren.lloyd@itslearning.com if you would be interested in hosting a course stating which county/LA you are in.

What to bring to the course

As we will show you how to upload users as part of this course, if there are any children or teachers that need to be uploaded to your VLE site we can help you create their accounts during training. Please ask the administrator of your school MIS system to provide you with two files in csv file format (exported from the MIS) giving the following information for the users you would like to create VLE accounts for:

  • Date of Birth
