What part can ICT networks play in delivering the Government's personalised learning agenda? This programme looks at two schools that are using management information systems (MIS) and learning platforms to directly benefit teaching and learning. The first school, Seven Kings High School in Ilford, Essex, has customised an off-the-shelf MIS to make it work for their particular vision of Assessment for Learning. Coopers Technology College in Bromley, Kent, has invested in a virtual learning environment (VLE) that enables teachers to create and share online resources and for pupils to access personalised assignments 24 hours a day. Through interviews with senior management, teachers and pupils, the programme reveals how the systems operate. It also evaluates their respective benefits and disadvantages and how the schools are planning to extend their ICT systems in the future.
