Individual learning plans

Follow-up on individual learners can be a time-consuming task if the proper tools aren't used. Most teachers see the advantage of following their learners' progress via the learning management system they use on a daily basis. Within the learning management system, they can combine plans, results, and assessments when creating the individual learning plan (ILP).

The ILP is managed by the 'mentor' role, but course teachers can access it from Status and follow-up in a course. Teachers are however only allowed to see the ILP columns that are made visible for teachers in the ILP settings, and cannot edit the information. The same applies for parents, who get access to the ILP columns that are made available for them on the parent dashboard. Learners find the ILP via the ePortfolio tab.

Mentors

A role called mentor is responsible for creating and maintaining individual learning plans. The administrators are responsible for managing the mentors. On the Admin tab there is a new option, Supervisor, from which the mentors are managed. In the mentor view, administrators can add and delete mentors and can assign hierarchies to individual mentors.

Sharing and templates

When creating or editing a plan, you can choose to share a plan with a school or the entire school district once it is published or create a plan based on an existing shared published plan. You can manage the roles that have permission to share individual learning plans via Site profile settings. Permission to share is enabled by default for system Administrators, administrators, and teachers. To modify these settings, find Allowed to share individual learning plan when you edit a profile, and change the selection accordingly.
