Most Helpful Reviews

Learning Village

Michelle, HLTA?EAL LEAD: I personally feel the programme is easily accessible for all. It is a very user friendly programme which encourages the learning of English Language and Grammar through repetition, images and revisiting newly learnt language.
Fiona Elvin, ESL Coordinator: The system is constantly improving. There are support documents, videos and tutorials to keep users abreast in the use of the system. Access to the system has been extremely reliable.
Joanna Karpiuk-Mochol, EAL Support Assistant: This amazing tool for supporting EAL and SEND children in their learning journey.

SAM Learning

Chris, Second in Science: Its mostly good. Some activities are well written and fun, others need reviewing and improving.
Gillian, 2nd in Department of MFL: I use Sam Learning mainly for homework to consolidate learning done in class and to give students the opportunity to try out short exam style tasks for independent learning. Students find the tasks accessible and easy to navigate and appreciate getting their scores immediately. Other schools should use Sam Learning to save time in planning and marking as there is a good range of tasks available on all aspects of the course and if you want something specific which is not there, you can create your own tasks as well.
Sam Frith, Teacher of ICT & Computer Science: Really good

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.
