[senit] learning platform

Commercial Interest

Sounds very interesting Trish 

Will it integrate with other VLE's such as Blackboard as I cant see it
being used extensively in mainstream secondary schools, but if it could
integrate that would be very interesting especially where we are seeking
to get resources shared across schools and sectors

Also do you know if there is any chance that the there could be a
sandbox set up to allow a trial ?

Again - commercial interest

Apologies that the website has not been updated. The Kowari folk are
working so hard at development of the software .....

I am asking the guys in the know to respond, but meanwhile if anyone is
going to the Education Show at NEC this week stand SN-X6, you will be
able to see it for yourselves. (or at the NAACE Conference next week)

Essentially each student has email, a journal, an activity area and a
place to store work. They can log on at school or from home, so work is
shared.
Email can be very simple, doodling, pictures, right up to something that
functions like standard email.
The journal can be for a diary use, or the teacher or parent can make
additions as reminders etc.
The activity area can hold and run software designed to run online,
links to websites etc.

hello, there seems to be v little info at the kowari site so far. It
apparently has child friendly email.
what's the differenec between a learning platform, a VLE (I was told
digital brain is one of these) , and a MLE (again was told Fronter is
one of these), and finally a personal learning space (from becta's
harnessing technology)??
