Kent Learning Zone Virtual Learning Environments Presentation to Cluster Schools 23rd. February 2009.

Getting started: • The initial starting point is to register an interest and to establish staff accounts (currently there is no charge for this).EIS
Training implications 1: • EIS provide three courses: • Admin Level 1 • Admin Level 2 • End User Training EIS suggest the two KLZ Administrators for each school attend these courses. Each course comes with a detailed manual of the day. Following this training – schools then need to deliver initial KLZ training the staff. Children will just know what to do intuitively!
Training implications 2: • Using the Training Site – this is available to all teachers and includes two ‘Demo schools’ giving lots of good examples and ideas. • It is read only – so cannot be damaged!
KLZ e-mail: • Available as soon as a school goes ‘live’. • The change-over from existing provider – e.g. RM Easy-mail can take place some time after starting with KLZ. • There is guidance available on the ‘support’ area about the change over.
Virtual Learning Platforms: provided by various companies. • These will involve extra cost and the HOS team wanted to look at and develop KLZ before thinking about a VLP.
