Why do we need an intranet or learning platform?

A successful intranet allows your staff, pupils and parents to learn, share and collaborate, accessible from any device in the world connected to the internet.  A flexible intranet with the right features allows you to build the learning platform that's right for your school.

It should provide a single place to keep, search and discuss all the various types of information you need:

  • Learning resources

    Learning material, specifications, revision notes, online tests and submitting work

  • Teaching resources

    Schemes of work, worksheets, lesson plans, audio and video recordings, online marking and feedback

  • General school and departmental information

    Notices, events, calendars, policies, instructions, staff handbook

  • News

    Both internally generated and from external sources

  • Shared projects

    Wiki-like areas to help students can collaborate on projects, sharing files, discussing ideas and learning how to work together

A successful intranet needs to be easy to use because there's too much for one person to manage.  You need to be able distribute ownership to different departments and even groups of pupils where appropriate.  Our biggest sites have tens of thousands of pages.

Not in education?
