Discover the ILD

Their highly valued input ensures that conducting formative assessments against your chosen curriculum is a quick, easy and enjoyable teaching experience. They have assisted us with the design and development of a comprehensive range of observation, assessment, reporting and educational data analysis tools specifically designed to provide early years and primary educators with the full control they require to quickly and successfully observe, record, track and accurately monitor a child’s educational development. The system automatically creates an extensive learning diary for every child, detailing educational observations, both summative and formative assessments, outcomes, progress, data analysis reports and all relevant evidence including text, photographs, video and audio.

The ILD can generate a wide range of data analysis reports based on progress and attainment levels which can be viewed by child, subgroup, class or cohort. This data is generated automatically from the evidence captured during observations. As the ILD is not a basic ‘tick box’ reporting system, educators can also use their professional judgement to change or amend their assessment and attainment reports if required.

As the ILD mobile apps can be used with or without Wi-Fi access, even if the network is down or they experience poor Wi-Fi strength or coverage in their school or nursery, educators can continue using the ILD to conduct their reporting duties. In class, outdoor play area or in the countryside during a school trip, they can continue with their observations! With ILD mobile, the only time you require a Wi-Fi network is when transferring your security encrypted data from your device into the ILD online reporting system.

With the ILD, we firmly believe that software should assist educators, not hinder them. That is why every aspect of the ILD is based on speed of use, functionality operation, loading, transfer and cross reference of your educational data. No other system provides this exceptional level of speed and efficiency.

The intuitive, user friendly design of our online reporting system provides quick reference to every aspect of your curriculum and it’s very easy to use. Developed to meet the reporting requirements of the smallest nursery to the largest international school, it’s the perfect reporting solution for every educator.

With our free training and exceptional levels of technical support, we also ensure that your transition from a paper-based or other system to the ILD is an enjoyable, problem free experience. With the Interactive Learning Diary and our fantastic educators worldwide, we are changing the world of educational reporting!

As a paperless educational reporting tool, the ILD is totally eco-friendly but you can print hard copies of your reports and data if you wish to do so. The manual compilation of a child’s paper-based learning diary, journey or journal can be quite time consuming and costly. When you consider the substantial cost of printers, maintenance, cartridges, plain and photographic paper etc and also valuable staff time, this can be a very expensive process for nurseries and schools.

Compiling these electronically online with the ILD gives back valuable teaching time to educators and greatly reduces cost of office consumables. Teach, observe and record simultaneously! You also take your observations and reporting to an exciting new level with the inclusion of photographs and video.

The innovative design and functionality of the ILD Parent Portal and dedicated parent mobile apps encourage and assist with parental participation. These enable parents to easily make a valuable contribution to their child’s learning. It has been well documented that an excellent level of communication in the teacher – child – parent partnership is highly beneficial for a child’s educational development.

As parents can access their child’s learning diaries to view their work, progress, and achievements, this enables them to send observations of their child’s new learning experiences directly from their device into the Parent Portal. Very similar in design to our teacher apps, our parent apps can be used with or without access to a Wi-Fi network. Parent observations can also include text, photos and video. Schools and nurseries can choose the data they wish to publish and also send a wide range of updates and reports to parents, via the portal and mobile apps.

Child safety and data security is always our main priority and we have implemented an advanced set of security technologies and policies to protect all users. For more information on these, please view our Data Security & Safeguarding page.

As all educators know, curriculums and educational reporting requirements are constantly changing and evolving. The ILD will evolve accordingly with all these future changes to ensure our educators will always have the latest, most advanced reporting system available.

Due to the excellent partnership we enjoy with all our teachers, the ILD has the versatility to accommodate virtually any curriculum. Even if you have improvements for the curriculum you use, let us know and we’ll be happy to discuss these with you.

We know just how busy our educators are in nurseries and schools. The ILD is very easy to use but it’s reassuring to know we are always there when you require assistance. When recommending the ILD to colleagues, all our educators’ praise both our system and support service. Too busy to make a telephone call? Just contact our support team through the Live Chat function in your ILD system without having to leave your room or class. You can of course also contact us by email or telephone if required.

For fast and efficient set up of your ILD system, you can either input your important child, class and year group’s data manually or import from your M.I.S. system.
