Welcome to Active Learn Primary
This is a short video to talk you through the process of finding, displaying and allocating
resources.
The resources tab is the place to start when you want to find, display or allocate a resource
of any kind. If you subscribe to more than one service, Start by choosing which service
you want to access by using the resources dropdown.
Each service has its own search criteria - for example, when you search in Abacus you have
categories such as year group, abacus objective, resource type or ability. You can narrow down
your search by clicking on the radio buttons or the check boxes. the results appear on
the right hand side.
For
any service, you can search by key word. To do this, you would type a key word into the
search bar at the top of the screen. This will bring up everything you have access to,
in any product, that is linked to this key word.
If there are lots of search results, they may not all fit on one page. You can navigate
between pages of search results by clicking on the arrow or page numbers to the top right
of the screen, in the blue tab.
You will then be able to filter your search down using the left hand menu.
From your search, all the relevant resources are displayed on the right. If you want more
information about a resource, click “More info”.
To open a resource to look through it yourself, or to display it to the whole class, click
on the name of the resource.
To save a resource in a ‘shortlist’ (for example, for tomorrow’s lesson), select
the tick box and click ‘Add to My Files’. This resource will then be accessible via
the My Files section within My Resources.
Once you’re confident you have found the right resources that you want to allocate,
click the tick box/es by each resource and then click “Allocate”. The Allocate button
is towards the top of the screen, highlighted in yellow.
This will take you to a list of classes where you can search for your pupils.
You can view the resources assigned to each pupil by clicking on the arrow by the number
or resources next to their name. If they have opened any of them this is shown with the
date opened next to the name of the resource. To allocate a resource, click the tick box
by the pupil’s name, then click allocate on the bottom right..
Once you have allocated resources, the child can access whichever they choose from those
allocated.
