How do I get a course on LearnBPS?
Easy!
Log in to PowerTeacher, and follow the simple steps at right to automatically create Learnbps course shells from your powerschool schedule (it takes about a day).
Learnbps students are enrolled into courses from PowerSchool, so if you are teaching a class and have students enrolled in your PowerTeacher gradebook, then the same students will automatically be enrolled in your Learnbps class.
Each semester, new Learnbps courses will be created from your PowerSchool schedule, until you choose to switch this off. It is also school specific, so if you teach at multiple schools and would like courses created at each school, change your school and follow the same steps below.

LearnBPS Activities and Resources Types
(click modules below to learn more)
... allow students to submit work to their teacher to grade and give feedback on. This saves on paper and is more efficient than email. The work may be text typed online or uploaded files from GoogleDocs of any type the teacher’s device can read. It can also be used to remind students of 'real-world' assignments they need to complete offline, such as speech or project, and thus not require any digital content.
Scoring may be by simple percentages or custom scales, or more complex rubrics may be used. Students may submit as individuals or in groups.
... allows participants to have asynchronous discussions.
... makes it easy to create, share and reuse HTML5 content and applications. H5P empowers everyone to create rich and interactive web experiences more efficiently.
... present a series of webpages to the student who is usually asked to make some sort of choice underneath the content area. The choice will send them to a specific page with feedback in the Lesson. In a Lesson page's simplest form, the student can select a continue button at the bottom of the page, which will send them to the next page in the Lesson.
... allow the teacher to design and build quizzes consisting of a large variety of Question types, including multiple choice, true-false, short answer and drag and drop images and text. These questions are kept in the Question bank and can be re-used in different quizzes. The Quiz is a very powerful activity that can meet many teaching needs, from simple, multiple-choice knowledge tests to complex, self-assessment tasks with detailed feedback and helpful hints to reinforce foundational concepts.
The Quiz Grade reports shows all the students' quiz attempts, with the overall grade, and the grade for each question. There are links to review all the details of a student's attempt, just as the student would see it.
... is a powerful peer assessment activity. Students add submissions which are then distributed amongst their peers for assessment based on a grading scale specified by the teacher. Students submit their own work and then receive a number of submissions from other students which they must assess according to the teacher's specifications. (They may also assess their own work if the teacher requests this.) Text may be typed directly into the ATTO editor, or files of any type may be uploaded, as long as others have the software to view them.
... make it easy to create multi-page resources with a book-like format. You can use the book to present information in a well-structured, user-friendly format that allows you to have main chapters and sub chapters. However the book is not interactive, but there are other possibilities. Because books allows one to import individual web pages or folders of web pages, it is useful for delivering content.
Whole books and individual chapters may be printed by selecting the relevant link.
