Any time anywhere learning top of the agenda at Weydon School
Innovative Life Learning Cloud learning platform from UniServity enriches learning experience for the schools 1,126 pupils and extends learning outside the classroom
Weydon School in Farnham, Surrey is enriching the learning experience for its 1,126 pupils with the introduction of a dynamic new learning platform that can be accessed anytime anywhere, inside and outside the classroom. A welcome upgrade to the school’s original UniServity cLc, the new learning platform known as Life utilises Web 3.0 technology to intelligently push to the desktop relevant tools, resources, content and people to help students study.
“It has huge potential” said Maria Mason, Head of ICT, “it personalises the learning experience for students, making it really engaging. Not only can they gain access to the very latest learning resources, they can share it and interact with their peers and teachers in a secure and auditable way. It also includes a personal online learning space, a diverse range of learning cells (e.g. content, feeds) and applications such as blogs, wikis and forums. And the best thing? Students can log on anytime anywhere using an array of every day technologies ranging from PCs to laptops, tablets to mobile phones.
“We took the decision to adopt the Life Learning Cloud as we needed a learning platform that was user friendly for teachers yet provided us with innovative tools to help students make outstanding progress and achievement. . Life allows us to integrate our traditional teaching methods with technologies and learning tools that students are familiar with, bringing new interactions to the classroom and closing the digital divide between teachers and students. Parents are also set to benefit as the new platform gives them online access to learning resources and homestudy, school bulletins and discussion groups, so enabling them to better support their children.
“We have worked with UniServity on the development of the Weydon Life Cloud since September and the educational support that they have given us to date has been outstanding. The new cloud-based platform also means we can save time and resources, as we do not need to host the resources on expensive servers within the school - it is delivered via the internet.”
Matt Clarke, CEO at UniServity, said: “The Life Learning Cloud has been built to be easily adaptable and to help schools to deliver the interactive learning experience students expect.”
