Learning platforms

A learning platform is an umbrella term describing a broad range of ICT systems used to deliver and support learning.

They bring together hardware, software and supporting services to enable more effective ways of working inside and outside the classroom, centre or institution.

Virtually all schools have networked, broadband access enabling pupils and teachers to access information and resources within the school.

The challenge now is to extend this to offer external access to learning resources, online storage and communication and management tools through a learning platform.

Learning platforms also offer the foundation to allow the integration of Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) and Management Information Systems (MIS).

For further information about learning platforms please visit the Becta or SW Grid for Learning (SWGfL) websites or contact our ICT Strategy Communications Manager on 01275 888 738.
