What’s on LGfL for Secondary Schools? Premium content and LA projects for e-learning This booklet illustrates examples of the online teaching and learning resources provided as an integral part of the London Grid for Learning (LGfL) education broadband service available to London schools. London Local Authorities and schools working together as the London Grid for Learning have provided an array of high quality online learning resources which are available to all LGfL connected schools at no extra charge. The learning resources or ‘content’ come from three main sources: 1) The LGfL has created, licensed or commissioned a range of premium software resources focussed on supporting learning and teaching in the Secondary phase. 2) Supported by LGfL, London LAs produce online content resources that include the best and latest practice in using a range of software and hardware across the curriculum. These resources are then made available across the region through the LGfL community. 3) The London Grid for Learning is also a member of the pan-UK Educational Network (NEN), which brings together all the regions of the UK, each with its own unique content – available for all to share, and accessible via the LGfL Content Management System. A carefully selected panel of practitioners drawn from across the region evaluates a wide range of materials and only select those resources which are assessed as being of the highest standard for use by LGfL connected schools throughout the London region. Selection by LGfL is widely regarded as an accolade of considerable significance by education content publishers. Schools can therefore be assured that time given to familiarising with these resources is well invested. Access Rights In most cases, access is automatic when viewing the resources in school (on grid) for schools with a LGfL broadband connection. There are some exceptions to this general rule, where a LGfL USO log in is requested even when accessing the resources in school. E.g. UsOnline eSafety and the Creative Toolkit resources. Icons that explain access to LGfL resources Username and password are not needed to access this resource. The USO ‘off grid’ icon indicates that a USO log in will be required to access the resource when viewed away from an LGfL connection (e.g. accessing from home). A small number of resources ask for a USO log in even when a user is in school and using an LGfL connection. e.g. Celebrating Us, Us Online and the Creative Toolkit. The USO ‘On grid’ icon indicates that a USO log in will be required, as progress made will be saved while using the resource. This icon indicates that the resources are fully accessible on mobile devices including iPads, iPods and iPhones. Teachers and pupils at connected schools can access LGfL content anywhere online using their LGfL Unified Sign On (USO) username and password.
