This article which I read on the BBC site, caught my interest. It caught my interest first of all because I know the school but perhaps more importantly, I believe what is being proposed at the school is possibly a pointer to future developments.

The article, which is about a secondary school offering lessons via the Internet to reach truanting pupils, certainly fits in with current notions of personalised learning and some concepts of learning platforms. As such, I reckon the school could be giving pointers to watch for future developments in school ICT.

At the heart of the proposals, I would guess, is the desire to reach dissaffected pupils who persistently fail to attend lessons in school. It would also provide all pupils with extra learning facilities from home via the Internet.
