Northgate Education is partnering with Fronter to bring
Fronter’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to its
primary and secondary schools.
VLE will be integrated into Northgate's
Managed Learning Environment (MLE).
The Virtual Learning Environment is approved by
Becta, and has recently been selected by the
London Grid for Learning for all schools in London.
Northgate said the partnership will give schools greater
confidence in choosing suppliers, as they seek to meet the
government’s target of providing all learners with an online
personalised learning space by 2008.
The first MLE launch, with the fully integrated Fronter VLE
platform, will take place in Bristol.
Northgate is providing an ICT managed service to
Bristol City Council as part of the government's Building
Schools for the Future programme (BSF).
VLE is a learning resource with an online personal work space,
offering customised learning resources, assignments, assessment and
guidance.
