This section is a log of Kandu developments and projects to date.
September 2011 - Kandu IT Academy Pilot Scheme Launched in Secondary School -
The Kandu IT Academy is a scheme designed to provide access to our learning system and BTEC approved qualifications to students attending learning institutions such as Schools and Colleges.
We have been working closely over the summer with the Queens Park Community School in North West London and are pleased to announce that 10 students of the school have now started the pilot course for the BTEC award in Computer Engineering.
QPCS is a mixed comprehensive school with a strong Sixth Form. Ten students from the school will be completing the course during their Enrichment time in which pupils take time out from their studies to take up extra curricular activities.
The School has been assigned a customized version of the Kandu eLearning system and its content. Teachers from the school can monitor and support the students online.
QPCS hope to be the first school to successfully complete the course and create awareness for other schools interested in adding further courses to their 6th form options.
Students hope to use the course to help them to possibly start up their own businesses or simply become more ‘IT savvy’ with their own home computers.
