<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to share with you a product we have been testing (along with a number of other schools) for the last 8 months. It’s called Stile -
<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#606060">
<a href="http://stileeducation.com">http://stileeducation.com</a></span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Before saying any more, I’d just like to point out that other than being involved in testing, I have absolutely no links to the product or company! I’m just a big fan of it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What is it? – Essentially, a cloud based site where teachers can organise course materials, give students access to those materials and allow students to submit work for marking. You set up a ‘Subject’, create any number of ‘Lessons’ within
the subject and add ‘Activities’ to each lesson. You can give information/instructions, upload files, images, embed video, provide space for students to answer or upload files to you.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The downside – It’s not free. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What I like:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>It’s very easy to set up, in terms of adding content, adding students, marking and collecting work<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>Runs from the Cloud – no network setup/permissions at school<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>Runs on Mac, PC, iPad, Android<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>The students like it<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>It’s slick, responsive, well designed<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>You can organise all your existing materials into a structured course, which is reusable next year<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>Students can work at their own pace<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>Great for students who are absent/sick<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>Not subject specific – good for use in teaching IT, but equally suitable for every subject in a school<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"><span style="font-family:Symbol">·</span><span style="font-size:7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">
</span>It’s possible to share your content with other teachers in your school<o:p></o:p></p>

</span>It’s Australian, developed in Melbourne I believe<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is not trying to be a full LMS, but for organising your teaching materials, getting them out to your students and collecting work from them, it’s great.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I see there is a free trial on the website link I have given, but if you would like to see a couple of ‘real’ courses I have set up and used with students this year, send me a note at
<a href="mailto:munrocs@aquinas.vic.edu.au">munrocs@aquinas.vic.edu.au</a> and I should be able to make you a ‘Teacher’ on my system.<o:p></o:p></p>
