On Friday the 11th of February we visited Pedmore CofE Primary near Dudley after being invited by Steph Ladbrooke, the year 4 teacher who had signed the school up as one of our beta testers last year. We were welcomed at reception in spectacular fashion by Edward from year 6. Edward was a great ambassador for Pedmore, as are all the pupils who were all polite, well mannered and well behaved. We were [...]

Yesterday morning our inbox was already filling up with more trial applications from around the country, when one of them jumped out at us with a very recognisable address.

Well, it’s been just over a week since we launched at BETT in London so we thought it a good time to post about some of the opportunities that have resulted from the show. Firstly, almost 40 schools from all over the UK are now signed up to our 14-day trial and 4 schools are already running full subscriptions. We also have just over 20 home trial accounts at the moment. It’s been a busy [...]

We’ve just received student testimonials from Pedmore CofE Primary in Dudley, and are incredibly pleased with how well-received Learnalot has been in the school.

Take a [...]

We will be attending the Scottish Learning Festival in Glasgow in September. We won’t be exhibiting there this year, but it will be great to be able to walk around and look at other stands without having one our own to look after, and it’s also an ideal place to gauge some ideas we have for BETT in January next year. See you there! Bookmark on Delicious Digg this post Recommend on Facebook [...]

Although the portal is currently still closed to subscriptions, the discussion forum is open and ready to accept users who might want to ask questions about the service that we’re working on, make suggestions or requests for features and provide feedback on those already in place. It will of course also serve as a support forum for subscribed users once we’re taking subscriptions. If you’re [...]

It is with great pleasure that we can now unveil the Learnalot portal, now available for the first time at www.learnalot.com. We’re not taking subscriptions yet as there are still a few resources to complete, but the completion- and subsequent unveiling- of the portal does at least allow those eager to know more about what we’re doing to take a look; for interested parties to register for [...]

We will be officially launching the Learnalot portal at BETT on 12-15 January 2011, at Olympia in London.
