I’m a recently qualified teacher, how does the LP+365 help me to organise my teaching?
The Office 365 integrated OneNote Class Notebook is a perfectly designed tool to help you to become more time efficient and above all organise your lesson planning and delivery. LP+365 auto-provisions the Class Notebook so that it is just one-click from the Class Dashboard instead of sharing OneNote via email invitations. OneNote Class Notebooks have a personal workspace for every student, a content library for handouts and a collaboration space for lessons and creative activities.

Learning Possibilities and Capita Brochure

It makes good sense for companies who are themselves growing rapidly in this global education space to look for ways to collaborate and at Learning Possibilities we are delighted to announce our own partnership and collaboration with Capita Managed IT Solutions, together providing a powerful digital solution to the management of teaching and education resources. Making learning better, together.

General Data Protection Regulation
At Learning Possibilities, we have always been a bit obsessed with data protection, together with children’s safety and their privacy. Recent events elsewhere suggest we were right to be so thorough! However, the good news is that from 25th of May 2018 the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation joins us in those concerns – and GDPR applies to pretty much everyone. It supersedes the old Data Protection Act and is a huge change, that impacts on everyone.
What is GDPR?
GDPR imposes new obligations for “data processors” and “data controllers” with tougher penalties enforced for data breaches. The good news is that GDPR will provide us all with a greater input as to what can be done with our data. GDPR applies right across the whole EU.
How are we prepared for GDPR
At Learning Possibilities, as a Microsoft Gold Partner, all the data on our LP+365 App is stored safely and very securely in the Microsoft Azure Cloud. Microsoft to share our history of caring about the detail of Data Protection. They have over 100 datacenters and more than 200 cloud services and are investing over $1 billion annually in data security. At Learning Possibilities we have approximately 4.6 million pieces of children’s work online and are delighted to be working with Microsoft to build our experiences of global learners into GDPR responses going forwards. It’s a big responsibility and fortunately, we have a lot of experience.
It is often said that “there is no such thing as a free lunch”, or that “if the product is free, then you are the thing being sold”. Which is why our learning tools are entirely advertisement free, whilst data is securely private. GDPR tips the balance away from children being commodities and back to kids being kids; we like that!

Learning Possibilities announce the addition of analytics to the LP+365 App
Learning Possibilities, a Global Alliance and Gold certified Microsoft Partner announce the imminent release of their LP+365 App with added Student Centre.
On a simple, engaging dashboard, the LP+365 App transforms Office 365 into a learning and collaborative platform, providing schools with all the tools they need to share resources, communicate, collaborate and manage assignments.
Utilising Microsoft graph API, Learning Possibilities have added a student analytics function in their new Student Centre. This allows teachers to analyse student sentiment based on a traffic light system, providing teachers with a tangible measure of how students are feeling throughout their school day and an average measure of student’s sentiment throughout the week.
Student sentiment directly influences levels of student engagement and attainment, therefore by creating a tangible measure of these three fundamental factors teachers can understand which students may need additional coaching to ensure educational success.
The student centre is continuously expanding with analytics tools for engagement and attainment on our roadmap. Lp+365 analytics offer the opportunity for classroom practitioners to be more reflective; offering the ability to be more data-driven and evidence-based which will, in turn, improve student learning outcomes.
Mehool Sanghrajka, Learning Possibilities Founder and CEO said:
‘We are excited by these new developments as they will enhance the ability of teachers to help students in their learning journey’
Lp+365 analytics implements a personalised didactic approach. Assessing students according to their own sentiment, engagement and attainment. This, in turn, creates a personalised pedagogical programme designed to maximise their educational outcomes.
