Inspiring Learning Through Collaboration

Have you ever stopped to think about how often you collaborate with other people? Take a moment to think about your day. You wake up and may have to collaborate with the rest of your family on who uses the bathroom first.

On your way to school you will probably talk to your friends. Once at school you will collaborate with your teacher, your class mates and friends from other classes. Social media is fast becoming the major means of collaboration. It cannot replace face-to-face contact but it does have its advantages as long as it is used responsibly and appropriately. Hwb+ is a safe on line learning platform where pupils and staff can collaborate, and every school in Wales has access to their own Hwb+ site.

Schools across Wales are beginning to collaborate with each other using Hwb+. Many schools are taking part in joint projects such as ‘The Road to Rio’ where pupils are collaborating with pupils from other schools by sharing photographs, blogging about information they have discovered about the Olympics and sharing ideas with each other through discussions online.

2. Pedagogy

Our LP+ Learning and Collaboration platform was created in 2005 in partnership with Microsoft, Dell and Intel. It has pedagogy at its heart, and from the outset was designed to drive transformation and create new models of education. In 2010, Learning Possibilities published its pedagogical framework – ADOPT – which was selected as the UK’s National Learning Platform Adoption Model, by the UK Department for Education.
For details, see: The Adopt Framework

3. Innovation

The LP+365 has been at the forefront of innovation in driving online teaching and learning, and has been recognised through several awards including the prestigious BETT Award, 2 Education Investor Awards, and 2 Microsoft Global Partner of the Year Runner-Up  (Education) Awards.  We have also Microsoft’s Global Partner in Education.
For details, see: Awards

4. Scale

The LP+365 platform was designed for School Districts and Governments, and built to securely scale through both private and public clouds. The platform has been used by over 600,000 learners in Wales for over six years ( https://lpplus.com/wales-showcase/ ), where the Minister of Education called LP+ a ‘world class platform’. In developing country examples, Learning Possibilities is currently working on a 25m learner project in the Philippines. ( https://lpplus.com/philippines-showcase/ ).
For details, see: Wales Showcase

5. Impact

Learning Possibilities is a ‘social enterprise’ focused on the impact of its work. We publish details of our major studies, including Prof. Don Passey’s (Lancaster University) independent evaluation of the LP+ platform, and the Welsh Government’s report of Learning in Digital Wales.
