Online learning might be just right for your students
- Interactive and immersive learning games inspire students to engage with learning – used in lessons and available on the learning platform.
- Online learning affords a degree of control to students with difficulty in facing direct learning or those who have classroom anxieties.
- The degree of anonymity offered by the online classroom provides comfort and confidence for those suffering education related anxieties.
- Aspirations are often raised by a completely new start – with new teachers and the potential for collaboration with new peers.
- We’ve got street cred – technology is intrinsic to youth culture. Children are naturally motivated to engage with the online world and respond positively to the enhanced learning experience offered by our lessons.
- Online classrooms are compelling learning environments – removing the distractions of a physical classroom and replacing them with interactive resources increases attention span and focus on educational tasks.
Consistent use of the internet/PC for learning fully familiarises students with the ICT skills needed to enable them to find work in our technology-driven world.- Our web-based provision can be accessed from anywhere there is a computer with a broadband connection and is ideal for refusers and those with social issues, travel issues, or the requirement of a flexible timetable.
- School comes to the student wherever they may be – offering flexibility and overcoming logistical issues and related costs.
- Greater parental engagement. Parental involvement in education is enabled through our learning platform. Parents and carers can track attendance, progress, and homework assignments to support their child’s journey.
