Microsoft® Class Server 4.0 is a Web-based learning management platform that supports personalised instruction, which can help learners realise their potential. Exciting learning opportunities can be delivered that engage students and involve parents. Teachers can create curriculum content, and manage lessons online and offline.

This approach enhances the learning experience for students, and maximises teaching resources. In addition, Class Server supports the collection and analysis of student performance data in real time. Teachers can instantly review student achievement, and identify areas of improvement faster, improving the quality of support. Reporting data can be collated automatically, saving time and effort spent on gathering data. Class Server supports teachers, ensuring students have the best opportunity to realise their full academic potential.

Benefits for Stakeholders
Institutions
Institutions that have a better view of individual and group performance can address areas of weakness, and raise standards across the board, more easily. Money can be saved, by investing in a technology that makes the most of existing systems. Printing costs can also be reduced, by digitally distributing best practice curriculum materials across the school. Above all, valuable time can be saved, which can be spent on making a positive impact on the educational lives of students.

Students
Class Server makes submitting and receiving coursework faster and easier. Teachers have more scope to identify where students need help, when they need it most—in other words, better quality teaching. Students benefit from a personalised learning portal. Teachers can individualise learning resources to students, groups, and classes based on strengths and weakness that have been identified—which means more stimulating, challenging lessons.

Teachers
Time is an increasingly scarce resource for teachers. Paper-based administration and marking can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Traditionally, teaching is a continual ‘balancing act’ of meeting the needs of the whole class, and focusing on individuals. By being able to assign and mark work more quickly in an electronic format, more time can be spent on identifying and providing extra help to those who need it. Dynamic, real-time access to student data makes it much easier to give individual and group-based feedback, as well as sharing best practice information with your peers.

Parents
With Class Server, parents can be kept informed of the child’s progress more frequently and easily. Contact with school can be maintained more easily, which can increase parent-teacher engagement.
