Webanywhere Launches The Easiest To Use Learning Platform For Primary Schools

Sept. 23, 2010 - PRLog -- Over 2,000 Primary Schools have already selected Webanywhere’s award-winning content managed web site builder and online resource software that have positioned the company in front of the fast-mobilising market for web based learning software.

Learnanywhere is another example of the company’s ability to stretch beyond expectations, responding to Primary School customers’ needs for a powerful yet simple-to-use VLE without the technical complexity or higher cost of alternative systems.

With the ability to combine original and third party content, personal management tools and ‘always on’ accessibility, the new Learnanywhere Primary School platform is a unique teaching and learning tool that
•   Rewards personal effort and attainment by primary school children;
•   Supports time-pressured teachers (lessons can be created or assessed online in minutes);
•   Enables ‘sticky’ school-home engagement with parents.

As well as reinforcing key curriculum learning outcomes, Learnanywhere provides students with rewarding fun, inspiring them to make regular use of their personalised learning platform. In the form of an on-screen avatar ‘buddy’, children can collect rewards for effort and attainment, contribute within their community, engage in a variety of lessons, quizzes and other activities, and chat and play games with friends.

Head Teacher of Our Lady of Victories Catholic Primary School, Keighley, West Yorkshire John Devlin, said: “Learnanywhere is perfect for our school’s Learning Platform due to its simple yet effective interface, ease of updating and sharing knowledge, and the capability it provides to engage parents with their childrens’ schooling wherever they have an internet connection”.

Sean Gilligan, MD of Webanywhere Ltd and Webanywhere, Inc commented: “The Learnanywhere learning platform will transform Primary School teaching and learning – both in the classroom and at home. Research shows that Primary Schools need dedicated web based learning platforms that are easier to use, yet deliver improved productivity and parental engagement. We have a vision for how the potential of individuals and communities can be stretched with learning platforms and we want to help Primary Teachers shape their own vision of teaching and learning. Our motivation is simple – we want to provide the most advanced and innovative learning platform for Primary Schools so they can create memorable and lasting learning experiences for their students. We are confident that Learnanywhere will be a big success with our core Primary School customer base, and demonstrates Webanywhere’s position as an important provider of knowledge-enabling technology platforms in the rapidly mobilising education and e-learning space”.
