Intuitive and User-Friendly
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 has become the perfect reporting solution for every educator.
With our free orientation 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!
Eco-friendly - time and cost-effective reporting
As a paperless educational reporting system, 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 journal can be quite time consuming and costly. When you consider the substantial cost of printers, maintenance, cartridges, plain and photographic paper etc and 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.
Smooth, fast, seamless functionality
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.
Exceptional levels of free support and orientation
We know just how busy our educators are in nurseries and schools. The ILD is very easy to use but it is reassuring to know we are always there when you require assistance. When recommending the ILD to colleagues, all of 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.
Designed by educators for educators
Early years and primary educators just like you built the ILD platform. 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, track, record, and accurately monitor a child’s educational development. The system automatically creates an extensive learning diary for every child, detailing educational observations, outcomes, progress, data analysis reports and all relevant evidence including text, photographs and video.
Educator professional judgement
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.
Free ILD Pro & ILD Parent apps – Use the ILD apps anywhere without wi-fi!
Use our apps on any Apple, Android or Amazon Fire device. As the ILD apps can be used with or without wi-fi access, even if their 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 the ILD apps, the only time you require a wi-fi network is when transferring your security encrypted data from your device into the ILD online reporting platform.
Parent Portal & ILD Parent apps
The innovative design and functionality of the ILD Parent Portal and dedicated ILD Parent 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 journal 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 send a wide range of updates and reports to parents, via the portal and apps.
Free curriculum and development updates
As all educators know, curriculums and educational reporting requirements are constantly changing and evolving. The ILD evolves accordingly with all these future changes to ensure our educators will always have the latest, most advanced reporting system available.
Modify or create bespoke curriculums
The Curriculum Builder is an ILD premium function to quickly assist you to customise or design a new nursery or school curriculum. It removes a lot of hard work from designing a curriculum inhouse. By using this latest ILD innovation, you can either copy existing curriculums and modify their structure to meet your personal requirements or create your own bespoke curriculum or hybrid. There are no restrictions on the number of curriculums which you wish to modify or design. You can create your own personal nursery or school curriculum library if required!
Learning Zone – Remote Teaching & Learning
The ILD Learning Zone provides the essential remote teaching tools required to create an intuitive, interactive, and remote teaching and learning environment for our nurseries and schools. It encompasses everything required in a user-friendly format. When homework, assignments and projects etc are returned from home, you simply access the Assessments and Outcomes section of the system and include your assessments against your chosen curriculums.
Launched in March 2020 to assist our educators’ worldwide with COVID19 nursery and school closures, the ILD Learning Zone enabled our educators, children, and parents to maintain exceptional levels of remote education and learning during these challenging times.
In the foreseeable future, nurseries and schools will continue to require an emergency remote teaching function. Not only for COVID19 and any possible future pandemic outbreaks but also other situations such as adverse weather conditions or emergencies which force temporary closures.
