Webanywhere launches integrated e-learning system
Webanywhere is relaunching its market-leading website system School Jotter as an integrated e-learning tool.
Announced at the BETT Show last month, School Jotter now sports an all-new dashboard - within which a range of apps can be integrated. Called the Jotter Suite, it means a school’s e-learning can be accessed from the same location as their school website, saving time, and allowing for integration of data and results between different apps. There is now the potential for pupils’ e-learning statistics and results to be posted directly to the school’s website.
The first two apps will be launched on 26th February. Jotter Learn allows teachers to create department and classroom websites - giving them a secure online location to assign work, and provide an information resource for pupils. These ‘learning sites’ can be created to support any subject or assignment.
Jotter Learn also allows resources and lesson plans to be shared between schools, with the aim of building a ‘School Jotter community.’
The School Merits app allows pupils to be rewarded online. Teachers can bulk assign classes and year groups with ‘merits’ - an online currency which pupils can use to build avatars and donate to charity. Teachers can track progress through online reporting and parents can see how well their child is doing in school.
Webanywhere customers with the most recent version of School Jotter will be upgraded to the dashboard for free, and the Jotter Learn and School Merits apps can be purchased as an additional extra.
Sean Gilligan, owner of Webanywhere, said: “We are continuously devloping our products, including School Jotter, so that they always meet teachers’ needs - but our latest launch is one of our biggest yet.
“By making School Jotter fully integrated with a suite of apps, taking learning online is now easier than ever. Whether it’s tracking progress, increasing engagement or improving learning outcomes, School Jotter and the new apps are an essential tool for supporting schools’ needs.
"We’re confident that School Merits, Jotter Learn and the other apps we have in development will transform the effectiveness of e-learning in schools.”
The launch on 26th February will consist of an event and two webinars - to find out more, go to www.webanywhere.co.uk/events.
