 | | | Make 21st century learning a reality in your school - using the Microsoft technology you already have. | | |
| | | The Microsoft Learning Gateway connects many of the applications and educational resources that your school already uses and makes them available through a secure, customised web portal, which is unique for every student and staff member. |  | | From one customised home page, each individual has easy access to their daily essentials - documents, email, diary notes, assessments, news, curriculum resources, and administrative software. This can be accessed online at school or from home. | | | Connecting educators, students, administrators and parents, the Learning Gateway provides a collaborative learning environment that makes learning more meaningful and relevant. Smarter, connected administration also minimises duplication of effort, error and time-wasting. | | | |
|
The Microsoft Learning Gateway is not an off-the-shelf-package. Instead it leverages
a range of Microsoft products combined with partner solutions to deliver a complete
Web-based portal solution for your school.
