Teaching Made Easier

An interactive online learning space, itslearning helps you and your students

manage the learning process. It enables you to create multimedia resources your

students consider motivating and challenging – and lets your students work with

them at any time, anywhere.

itslearning also makes it easy to share resources, lesson plans, news and more with colleagues, students

and parents. As a result, everyone has the information precisely when they need it and you have less

paperwork piling up on your desk. And, because itslearning automates many of the routine tasks you

perform every day, such as grading and setting and collecting assignments, you have more time to focus

on what you love: teaching.

The art of teaching

At itslearning, we believe that teaching is an art and every teacher has their own teaching style. But

we also know that teaching is a process - from planning and delivering course work to assessing and

reporting student progress. We’ve designed itslearning to make these steps easier. Whether you want

to link an activity in your lesson plan to a learning objective or deliver a digital test that gives your

students immediate feedback, itslearning is there to help.

Individualized instruction

itslearning makes it possible for you to personalize instruction for everyone in your classes. Individual

status reports give you an overview of each student’s progress so you can see where they need extra

help. You can use Individual Learning Plans to set clear goals for each student, and use itslearning’s

differentiation tools to ensure every activity matches each student’s level.

A learning platform

designed for teachers

Getting creative with video

itslearning allows your students to express their

creativity. One teacher at Barnsley Academy in the UK,

for example, asked his students to use a stop-motion

animation tool inside itslearning to show how cells

split and multiply, leaving him speechless with the

outcome!

“It was incredibly popular. We

took time-lapse photography of

plasticine models and I had students

producing 140-frame videos in an

hour. They were so motivated that

they used up some of their lunch

hour to email them to me.”

Nic Atkinson

Director of Science, Barnsley Academy, UK

With itslearning, you can create online activities that encourage your students

to explore, learn, share and express themselves using the creative

digital tools they love. All this in a safe, secure, school-

controlled educational setting.

Encourage your students to get creative with built-in video recorders, blogs

and shared project spaces, and inspire them with online films, discussions

forums, polls and surveys. Extend learning even further via itslearning’s

App Library - it contains a wide selection of educational apps, games

and resources from suppliers such as Britannica Online, J2Simple and

Bridgeman Education.

Your online

teaching and learning space

With itslearning, sharing lesson plans, resources and student information with

other teachers has never been easier.

itslearning gathers progress reports, Individual Learning Plans and other information about each

student from every class so teachers, parents, and students get a clear view of overall progress. Teachers

can also see and share lesson plans, including connected resources, making it easier to step in if another

teacher is away. Best of all, the digital resources you create, such as tests and subject resource pages, can

be shared with your colleagues with a single click.

As a cloud-based learning platform,

itslearning is fast to set-up, simple to

maintain and inexpensive to run – so

you can focus your time and resources

on other things.

With itslearning, there are no servers to buy or

software to install on local computers because

everything is hosted in the cloud. When you

start with itslearning, we help you set up your

individual user accounts and work with you

to develop an integration and implementation

plan. Your teachers and students can then log-on

using a secure username and password and start

working. It’s that easy.

itslearning is one of the most dependable

platforms in the market today. We guarantee

99.9% uptime and maintain system upgrades,

data storage and system security, so you and

your students won’t miss a single minute of

instructional time.

If you can send an email…School IT managers around the world echo the

same sentiments about itslearning. Because the

platform is so easy to use, students can find their

way around the system with little instruction

and teachers can focus on how to teach with the

platform, not the technicalities.

“With itslearning, I can focus

more on creating good courses

and the pedagogy, instead of

the technical aspects. That’s

what’s important – how do I use

the platform to teach and not

how do I upload a file onto the

platform.”

Filip Levälahti

E-learning coordinator, Arcada

University of Applied Sciences, Finland

Giving you more time to do what you love

Using itslearning’s automatic tools is simple. When you create a test in

itslearning, for example, your students will be automatically notified of the

task and the deadline. You can decide whether to grade the tests yourself,

or have itslearning grade them automatically. After the test, the results are

automatically imported into the students’ grade books and made available

to you or others with just a few clicks. And, because all reports are updated

automatically as soon as you make a change, you know everyone always has

the information they need - when they need it.
