Compare FlashAcademy® vs Learning Village

20 Minutes a day

FlashAcademy® is accessible on smartphone, tablet, and PC, and is available on Apple and Android devices. Initial set-up may require some input from an IT Manager, although most schools can be onboard in less than an hour. To use the platform, teachers and pupils will need to have basic technological knowledge. Our fantastic education team provide a free demonstration with ongoing support once the platform has been integrated into your teaching strategy. Schools are provided with admin access and pupils are given a username based on their initials.

The Learning Village works best when using Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Microsoft Edge. It will work on other browsers too, but not optimally. The Learning Village learner experience is a webapp. That means that it is not available in the App Store, but the learner experience behaves like an app. The Learning Village Student Area is iPad-friendly. Please make sure you are running up-to-date software (iOS11 and above), as older versions do not support recording.

We offer a free demonstration to showcase the platform features and a free trial for teachers to experience. We provide training and ongoing support to ensure confidence and clarity in using the platform. All schools receive a user-guide and are shown how to utilise every platform feature through demonstration, training and frequent webinars.
