Would you rather have only one person in a class who knows how to use a particular piece of edtech, or would you prefer 30?
That’s one of the intriguing questions Michael Conlon from XMA and Frazer Williams from OLUS discuss as they explore how OLUS Education approaches professional learning and building capacity in schools. OLUS Education is a unique solution that aims to make teaching digital skills easier for teachers and level the playing field for all students by having a platform where they can learn together and independently. They emphasize the need to teach students digital skills and the importance of teachers being comfortable with technology. They also discuss the flexibility of OLUS Education's platform, which allows teachers and students to learn at their own pace and whatever devices they happen to have.
XMA always highlights the need for a strategic approach to technology adoption and proficiency in schools. OLUS (Online Learning Support) is a platform that tries to address the challenges of teaching in schools, such as the constantly changing nature of technology and the limited time and resources available for training. OLUS offers a unique approach by allowing teachers to have their students taught through the OLUS platform, which curates lesson plans that develop their digital skills for use across the curriculum.
The platform has received positive feedback from teachers and has an over 90% renewal rate each year. OLUS covers a wide range of applications and platforms, including Apple, Microsoft, and Google tools, and is constantly updating and adding new courses. The platform is known for its simplicity and user-friendly interface, making it easy for teachers and students to navigate. OLUS is available in the UK, Ireland, and South Africa, with plans for global expansion.
