The Gift that isn’t quite ready yet.

Gifts

In the spirit of Holiday gift giving, we are working on a gift for all teachers. However, that gift isn’t quite ready. Still, we are pretty excited about this gift, so we want to make a preview available for those who are interested. This is a gift that we hope all will love and appreciate. Students. Teachers. Staff. Administrators. Everyone. We are currently targeting February for the delivery of the gift, but, again, this being a gift giving season, (combined with our excitement over distributing this gift), we have decided to open up a “sneak peak” at this wonderful gift.

So, here goes. A wonderful gift for all. See, iLearn is an absolutely wonderful resource. However, some consider it a bit “clunky looking”. So we will be updating iLearn with a new, more modern user experience. (I told you it was wonderful). We want you to be able to play around and get acclimated with the new interface. Thus, we’ve set up a “sandbox” iLearn course for you to play with. Please note that students will NOT be able to sign in or use the course.

Note that this site is still being developed. However, it will give you a great feel for what iLearn will look like.

  • Gone are tons of Blocks on the right hand side.
  • Gone is the navigation block.
  • Gone is a look and feel that is dated.

Welcome

  • To an updated look and feel
  • To a navigation drawer
  • To a gear based editing system
  • To Tours to help guide users

Teachers can open a preview of a great present starting immediately. Simply head over to the iLearn Sandbox and log in using your district user name and password (soon to be passphrase).

We’ll be looking for feedback next year.
