Kent Learning Zone (KLZ)
What is it?
The Kent Learning Zone (KLZ), is a secure online collaboration and communication portal for schools to use within their own school, across local trusts or even the County. It is built on a framework of Microsoft technologies collectively known as a Microsoft Learning Gateway (MLG). This will provide a standards based platform for launching and integrating exciting future additional services.
The KLZ is a framework for delivering authenticated services through a web based single sign on portal. It is the foundation for adding further building blocks of content and functionality. EIS are working closely with Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and Learning Platform providers to integrate their products in to the KLZ.
How much will it cost?
The KLZ is free to all Kent school based staff. Pupil or Class accounts will cost £2.50. EIS and KCC CFE are working to keep the costs per user as low as possible.
What do you get for your money?
The initial service offering will provide each user with the following facilities:
-
50Mb Exchange based mailbox providing anywhere anytime access via the internet and Outlook Anywhere.
-
250Mb SharePoint MySite space
-
500Mb School SharePoint site for internal collaboration with full administration rights.
