Glow Scotland

Over recent months Glow Learn, Glow’s virtual learning environment has been explored by many more people from across Scotland. A lot of this exploration has taken place at Stirling Management Centre during a series of two days Glow Learn training events.

Glow Learn provides tools to plan, prepare and deliver learning materials, assign work to pupils and track and monitor pupil progress online. It also allows users to search for and share learning materials across schools, local authorities and nationally.

Attendees have included Glow Mentors, staff from local authorities and many others who have an interest in Glow that they wanted to explore further.

Training has allowed participants to get to grips with using the Glow Learn tools, consider how it can be used to support learning and teaching and have an opportunity to make links with others using Glow’s virtual learning environment. A blend of presentations and hands on has allowed attendees to discover more. We’ve had 6 courses with around 245 people spending time using Glow Learn so far.

As participants have returned to their schools, local authorities and other establishments, they’ve started to use Glow Learn in different ways. Some examples have included schools making links to support their World War Two topics, the online provision of Access 3 Maths and English for interrupted learners, the creation of learning spaces for climate change projects and the development of learning resources to support Graphic Communication.

The possibilities are endless and attendees have been sharing their ideas in a National Glow Group both during and after training.
