Work at Home

24/7 access to provide students more autonomy over when and where they learn

Context

Students at LPS Richmond have 24/7 access to the school’s learning management system, allowing them to work at home. Homework usually takes the form of an assessment, which means students either need to simply take the assessment, or also access learning resources in advance of the assessment. Taking assessments as homework allows for teachers to check data dashboards for completion each day. It is also easy to share the platform (Google Sheets or Gooru) with parents or guardians, creating a better connection between student, family, and school.
