This is the first post in a series which describes some of our work on ‘content-free’ templates for educators and learners to use in our learning.
This space is on Glow O365, so it is best to log into Glow (eg on the Learning Spaces Community) before you explore the links below
What’s the thinking behind it?
This space helps support the learning of a class throughout an extended period of time.
It covers the first 2 or 3 stages of the Salmon model reasonably well, helping learners with easy access to resources, encouraging socialisation and information sharing.

What does it do?
It has a number of functions that will support class learners; teacher announcements, newsfeed, calendar and learning resource areas. The slides below will you give some idea of the functionality…
Ok, how do I get it?
The Class Space template is on Glow O365 and is available to any member of staff from their school site. See How to create a Class Space for more details.
