It is a government target that all pupils [aged 5 upwards] will be able to access a personalised workspace, capable of supporting an e-portfolio, by Spring 2008, which might include:
· communication and collaboration tools e.g. web-based email to enable peer/mentor dialogue;
· safe and secure, individual online learning space for the school workforce and pupils enabling anytime, anywhere learning;
· tools to enable teachers to manage and tailor content to user needs and learning styles, and to track user progress.
Cambridgeshire schools already have a good record in this area. All school staff have had free access to DigitalBrain Learning Manager accounts for 4 years. Many primary and special schools already have pupil subscriptions to the County’s Starz service. Cambridgeshire has now secured the government funding to support roll-out of learning platform accounts in 2007/2008 to all pupils, based on DigitalBrain’s technology.
Information about all aspects of the learning platform initiative can be found on the education portal http://www.ccceducation.net by searching for resource ID 2729
