Collaborative Learning Manager - The Solution That Links Delivery Partners
Collaborative Learning Manager (CLM) is a new standard in smart learning management technology, from Perspective. The technology enables effective communication between all parties involved in the delivery of 14-19 Diplomas.
The delivery of Diploma qualifications involves a collaboration of schools, colleges, work-based learning providers and employers, all of whom need to access and monitor information on learner progress towards the various qualifications that constitute the Diploma.
CLM provides an online monitoring platform to do just this, enabling access to up-to-the-minute data on student attendance and progression.
The software monitors student progression throughout all stages of the qualification, enabling a free flow of information between all parties and providing instant access to information on performance and development.
CLM is an ideal management tool for Delivery Partnerships to monitor programme progression. Attendance statistics, learner statistics and management reports can be produced quickly and easily, and at-a-glance reports show attendance by pupil, course and school over specified time periods.
CLM is already being used within the distributed learning arena, enabling colleges and training providers to effectively deliver and track vocational training. The saving in terms of time and paperwork has been extremely significant and CLM is easily and effectively keeping abreast of student progress and attendance.
CLM software was recently featured in an article published by the Guardian. Read the article here.
