Virtual Schools can help enhance teaching and learning in your school. The concept of Remote Learning and an E-Portfolio for every pupil can be effectively realised by the application of the most sophisticated and educationally focused web technology.
Virtual RuckSacks as part of your Virtual School provides the perfect solution to the demands of a Personal Learning Environment.
The interface is simple to use, facilitating teaching and learning, not burdening an already stretched staff timetable.
Based on the teacher's own material, links and resources, Virtual Rucksacks does not enforce the use of alien curriculum elements.
- There are support features that help teachers construct lesson plans, set, mark and record assignments.
- Assignments can be set for any combination of individuals, class or year groups and every assignment is secure in the teacher's or student's own personal area.
- Teachers and students can access these assignments and resources, submit and mark the work at any time, anywhere that there is an internet connection.
- The Platform will also integrate with the school's own Management Information Systems.
What is a Virtual RuckSack?
Just like the real thing, you can throw into your Virtual RuckSack all the important files and links you need for your work and anything else that may just come in useful.
As a teacher, you can create and set assignments to specific class groups, even customising the work for the needs of individual students, and send that work directly into the student's Virtual RuckSack. That work can be submitted (and resubmitted if necessary) back to your RuckSack for marking. Click on the image below to view the Teacher RuckSack.
As a student, you will be able to view all your assignments, building up submissions to your RuckSack until they are ready to be presented and assessed. Then, submit them online, where they will be marked, and your achievements recorded and rewarded.
At that point, both student and teacher will also have a virtual record of all assignments and marks.
A RuckSack is secure to you. No-one else gets to see its contents unless you invite them to.
Using the Virtual RuckSack's internal email system, you can communicate securely within your school groups.
A RuckSack is of long-term value. As the student progresses through their education, they carry their Virtual RuckSack with them wherever they go. Despite the fact that it holds a copy of all assessed work, it never gets any heavier!
The benefits of this easy-to-use system speak for themselves. Contact us today to talk about how the Virtual RuckSacks system will specifically enhance your organisation.
