Electronic Individual Learning Plan
You may have heard alot about the new proposed electronic Individual Learning Plan in Leeds, or you may have heard a little. The draft specification has now been written and is available for your comments and views.
Please see the documents below - they won't take long to read - and send your comments and feedback to Rachel MacHutchon, ILP Development Officer, Education Leeds: rachel.machutchon@educationleeds.co.uk, 0113 214 4371, 07891 275 624.
The specification below refers to the e-ILP aimed at 14-19 year olds but the principle will be the same for 9-13 year olds... We aim to introduce the new e-ILP to certain schools, PRUs, SILCs and colleges in September 2007. The timetable for developing this project is tight. Please therefore respond with your comments by Wednesday 24 January 2007 as your feedback could impact on the technical specification due to be sent to IT developers in February 2007. If your school, PRU or SILC is interested in being part of the first phase of users of the electronic Individual Learning Plan in Sept 2007, please contact Rachel for further discussion.
Are your details correct in the Global Address book?
Can all staff ensure their organisation details i.e 'Company' and 'Member of' field are correct in the email Global Address book used in Outlook? With the introduction of the Learning Platform, those details will be used to determine which school's/organisation's Learning Platform you will belong to. If your details are incorrect because you may have moved jobs etc please contact the Leeds Learning Service Desk via email servicedesk@leedslearning.net clearly stating the organisation/school which you should be registered against.
