Studywiz approved supplier on UK Information Management and Learning Services Framework

I am very pleased to announce that Studywiz has been awarded a place on the Information Management and Learning Services Framework (Lot 2 – Learning Services) by the UK Government Procurement Service.

The framework was developed to meet educational needs and to offer schools, academies, consortia and local authorities a number of benefits including better value for money through competition, easier benchmarking and budgeting, improved opportunities for interoperability, and a pre-approved list of suppliers. It will make it easier, quicker and cheaper for UK education establishments to procure a new learning platform.

Studywiz fully supports the aims of the framework and we are looking forward to working with the Government Procurement Service and the Department for Education to offer UK schools the best possible service.

You can read more about the framework on the DfE IMLS website.

We are delighted to announce the WizKid User Conference 2012.

Here at Studywiz the team have been working closely with both the Hampshire IT and local Primary schools in your area to organise the eagerly anticipated ‘Primary’ focused Studywiz user conference!

The purpose of the conference is to provide real AND practical insight into how WizKid continues to transform teaching and learning within the Primary environment. You will be treated to presentations and have the opportunity to join workshops based on REAL usage of WizKid, we will even throw in a free lunch!

The presentations will be by teachers from your community and the workshops will be based on show & tell of real examples!!

We also have some very exciting new developments that we would like to share with you, many of which are free to the WizKid Community, from drag and drop functionality within the eLockers to a whole new range of innovative Educational apps!

The conference will be very much ‘User Lead’, the intention is to encourage usage through collaborative sharing of ideas and initiatives across the authority! You can expect to see lots of handy tips and tricks from neighbouring schools and academies across the county!

The conference is to be held at Guillemont Junior School, Sandy Lane, Farnborough on Thursday 29^th March and will run from 10.30am – 3pm, this is a free of charge event but spaces are limited!
