From Switched on Science, Mathspace and j2e, to ReadingZone Live, CyberPass and The Cold War... LGfL's premium learning resources are a blend of commercial content and homegrown exclusives. This not only saves money on popular licences, but also gives access to exclusives that money can't buy. Do we have to pay extra? No. All learning resources are included in your subscription, so if you have an LGfL connection, you have access to the lot. What are you waiting for? Click here to discover the world of LGfL content now! How do we access them? If you are in an LGfL school, we know you are using a school computer (this is called IP authentication), so you only need to log into resources that track progress or save work (so need to know who is using them). But at home or anywhere else, you will need to enter your USO username and password. What about the pupils? It is exactly the same for pupils. If your pupils don't know their logins, there is a guide to distributing them safely at logins1mg.lgfl.net What's so special about internal LGfL content? LGfL's unique charitable status, local-authority links and educational expertise helps it to reach places other providers can't! Whether filming in parts of Royal Palaces never before seen by the public, or accessing the vaults of major museums or filming experts on location across the UK and Europe, LGfL digital collections are unrivalled in terms of quality and uniqueness. Add to this some of the UK's finest educational experts, who give resources the required curriculum wrap – with guaranteed relevance and reach – and you start to understand what is different about internal LGfL content. Is it relevant to the National Curriculum? Absolutely. Quality is our number-one priority, but curriculum relevance follows closely behind; when the revised National Curriculum was introduced, LGfL launched a resource-discovery tool to show what is available for each individual descriptor for each subject. Switched on Science, for example, gives complete coverage for every aspect of the Primary Science curriculum! And there are plenty more surprises in store. How can I find the right resources for my school? Simply go to the 'Discover' page of this site (discover.lgfl.net will take you straight there next time), where you can browse by subject/KS or carry out a detailed search by keyword, programme of study or individual NC descriptor. On the same page, you will find overview videos (great for staff meetings!) and content booklets which will give you a flavour of the latest and greatest LGfL learning resources. How can I stay up to date? There are various ways to stay up to date with all that happens at LGfL: Visit news.lgfl.net for the latest news (plus RSS feed and newsletter). Follow @LGfL on Twitter Like us on Facebook Are the resources mobile-friendly? All proposals for new content must guarantee mobile compliance in terms of visibility and functionality, and older resources developed since 2012 have avoided 'Flash' (with very few exceptions) to ensure they can be viewed on Apple devices. Some legacy resources from before this time may be incompatible with mobile devices. Where possible, these have been upgraded, but technological changes mean that this is not always possible. Is LGfL interested in our content? We are always on the lookout for exciting new content. However, content providers should note that the high quality of a resource does not guarantee a favourable decision by the LGfL Editorial Board, and our internal award-winning resources are very cost-effective. New additions must complement the portfolio and show clear National Curriculum relevance. All proposals are subject to scrutiny and detailed due diligence, but anyone interested in submitting a proposal should familiarise themselves with the contents of this document before contacting LGfL. What is the LGfLaai Federation? The LGfL Authentication and Interoperability Federation (LGfLaai) was set up to allow schools to use the USO (unique sign-on) system to access resources and platforms they have subscribed to from third-party organisations without needing new login credentials. This only takes place with the express permission of the school, and only where the LGfLaai provider has signed strict data-protection agreements. To see the current members of the federation, or if you are a third-party organisation interested in finding out more, please click here. Is 'class-data release' safe? Yes. Some resources, such as Mathspace and CyberPass, are fundamentally based on teacher tracking functionality. For this to be possible, our systems need to know which pupils are in which class, and who the teacher is – so we ask you to approve 'class-data release'. You don't need to worry about approving this, as LGfL is one of the a DfE's approved cloud providers, which is recognition of our exceptional data-protection compliance. Where this data needs to be shared with third parties, they are part of the LGfLaai (see previous question).
