Teaching & Learning

» Build an online collection of teaching resources

LearnAnywhere lets you construct a repository of teaching materials in a variety of formats such as web pages, text documents, presentations, spreadsheets and images, and attach these to your classes as necessary.

» Plan and execute lessons through the VLE

You can use your stored content to create lesson plans and use activities such as quizzes or wikis as a central part of your lesson. Forums can be used to follow up on topics covered and homework can be submitted through the VLE for marking.

» Use multimedia to enhance teaching

Multimedia resources such as audio and video can be incorporated into your lessons for a more immersive learning experience. These resources will be available to students after the lesson to review at their leisure or use for revision at a later date.

» Target activities to specific learners' needs

Particular activities can be tailored to small groups of pupils within a class, for example, several versions of a quiz could be created for pupils of different ability levels. In line with the personalised learning agenda, this helps you to support those pupils of lower ability while directing higher-ability pupils to take more responsibility for their own learning.

» Co-ordinate lessons, follow up activities and homework

The use of a VLE allows co-ordination of class-based and home-based learning, with resources and activities available in a central location which can be accessed by all learners at any time, from anywhere. Collaboration between pupils is facilitated by forums and the messaging system, allowing peer to peer learning and group project work to take place out of school hours.
