I’ve taken a short break today from my interior-design at the study centre to immerse myself in the virtual world of Enable, the Northants Learning Platform. It has proved a challenging yet curiously rewarding fight to survive drowning in a sea of permission settings and design issues. The initial design of the main Study Centres pages is pictured above while below is the Silverstone site.
Taking the time to tame the learning platform is well worth it though because it means that we can use it next term to enhance what we do at Silverstone. It should offer students greater ownership of their learning and the opportunity to link up learning at the centre with home and school. Hopefully it will give rise to more prosumers at the centre - young people who both creatively produce and consume in the learning and teaching process wherever they find themselves. If that comes about then the steep learning-curve will have been worth it.
