Skillspace Learning Platform - Ideal School

The government has said that every school must provide learners with their own on-line learning space by 2008. Schools and local authorities all over the UK are using the Skillspace Learning Platform from Serco to introduce innovative teaching and maximise new opportunities for learners.

Here are just some examples:

Teaching and learning
With Facility, learners are more engaged with their lessons and everyone benefits, even those children who might feel intimidated by a traditional classroom setting.

Heads/teachers/staff
A well populated learning platform enables teachers to provide materials to suit all learning styles and at times and places to suit each individual. Teachers can facilitate learning rather than being tied to one place delivering knowledge in just one way.

Parents
Parents have much closer links with their children’s education thanks to the Skillspace Learning Platform. They can log on securely to see what is going on in school, what lessons their children have and even see examples of their work.

School community
A learning platform is a great way to create a sense of community in your school. It provides easy lines of communication that help everyone to share news, views and good practice that will benefit your school.

Wider community
Schools are at the heart of their communities and increasingly people from outside school are becoming more involved in events and education that take place there. An effective learning platform like Facility can help create and maintain those links.

LA community
Communication across a local authority is simplified with an effective learning platform in place. Officers, staff and schools can share information and good practice easily with Facility’s simple communication and collaboration tools.

Governors
Governors can stay easily in touch with developments and activities at school with their own space on the Skillspace Learning Platform. They can also share experience, information and good practice within their own school or across an authority.
