Our Philosophy
Established in 2006, collaboration and honesty are always at the forefront of our thinking - we listen to the needs of our customers and work with integrity to help them shape their ideas. We share a passion for education and for businesses, and our technical expertise has enabled us to successfully create software solutions and websites for both; from professional development software that is used by hundreds of schools throughout the UK, to multi-million pound systems for leading organisations, to solutions for entrepreneurial organisations.
We have a great team of people who are passionate about delivering our promises and always strive to exceed customer expectations. We are all driven to supply innovative solutions which inspire both educators to lead the next generation, and businesses to strive to the next level.
We're proud that our customers rate our service as second to none but don't just take our word for it, feel free to talk to them directly.
The recording feature means that the observer does not actually have to be in classroom at the time of delivery. Whilst observed lessons have a tendency to be a little staged, video lesson observation can help to create a more natural atmosphere. Likewise, the recording can be observed by a number of colleagues. Comments can be left by multiple parties and a consensus can be achieved. This can help leadership teams to arrive at a collective judgement on the standards that are desired in the classroom.
We understand that there may be some concerns from members of staff regarding who can see recordings of their teaching. Permission settings ensure that recorded lessons are only available to the intended parties. Videos can be shared to demonstrate best practice. This can be particularly helpful to newly qualified members of staff who wish to see good teaching to aspire to.
The bespoke nature of our iP software means that different types of annotation categories can be implemented into the software. For instance, student questioning, time management and behaviour management can be areas of focus. The categories can relate to whole school priorities and help to encourage reflective practice.
Overall, video lesson observations are a great means of generating a more reflective culture. Education is changing in front of our eyes and the recording of lessons is likely to become more and more common as distance learning increases. At present, it is an opportunity to enhance teaching to help provide more purposeful learning for students.
Specialists in software development for education, delivering products that make a real difference, positively impact teaching and learning and empowering staff.
