Virtual Schools
We feel new models in the learn to earn journey are needed and that the way forward for all is in the visibility and validation of skills
Recognise durable skills
How do you currently recognise durable skills, such as communication, critical thinking and creative thinking?
Particularly for learners in a Virtual School setting, making all of a learners’ skills visible will be key to maximizing their employability outcomes. Yet these durable, transferable skills are not typically included in their final transcript.
A learning management system (LMS) alone will not be able to do this, as durable skills typically cut across multiple courses. That’s where we come in, providing a skills infrastructure layer that sits atop your EdTech stack.
We enable you to extract and recognise existing durable skills data and give your learners proof that they can show to potential employers and others.
Dynamic, 24/7 visibility of learning progress for the whole learning team
We know communicating with stakeholders in the learning community – learners, parents, teachers and administrators – is an issue in Virtual Schools. But it doesn’t have to be.
Our Learner Dashboard solution provides dynamic, 24/7 visibility of what learners have already achieved, where they sit currently, and what they still need to do to achieve their goals.
This moves the conversation from “How are you going in school?” to “I see where you’re sitting currently in English – let’s discuss what you can do to move up to the next level.”
Gamify learning
Recognising progress utilizes gamification to increase motivation. When your Virtual School learners can see where they are now, and where they can go next, it motivates them to reach for greater outcomes.
The cohort comparison spider graph in the Learner Dashboard shows clearly where a learner sits relative to their peers. They can see where the class is overall and their place in it.
These elements promote a growth mindset and create powerful self-directed motivation and investment in their learning journey and increases learner agency.
