It has been claimed that independent schools are among the most creative when it comes to adopting new applications for ICT. Increasingly schools right across the sector are moving to the cloud, with most adopting Microsoft’s Office 365 suite of tools.
Office 365, with Teams for Education, opens up the possibilities for communication and collaboration utilising tools that teachers are already familiar with. It also provides a rich opportunity for teaching and learning as we prepare young people to be 21st Century Digital Citizens and the world of work.
Many schools have invested in online learning environments, an important tool particularly in the Independent sector when parents aren’t necessarily in touch with the school every day and students spend extended periods away from school. These environments provide an opportunity to support continued learning as well as communication with parents. However, they don’t always integrate well with the newer cloud services and they certainly don’t look or feel like the familiar tools.
What if there was a way to provide the same functionality directly inside Office 365; Provide the important communication with parents; and save a typical school £1000’s.
Take a look at Skooler, the next generation LMS, uniquely integrated inside Office 365 providing coursework and assessment workflows that no one else does. We can make managing student work and keeping parents informed easier, from directly inside Office 365 whilst at the same time helping you get even better value out of your cloud investment.
Schools such as Oakwood in Hillingdon and East Barnet in London have already realised the benefits and the savings.
