Universal Learning Environments™
What is a Universal Learning Environment™ ? The meaning of a Universal Learning Environment™ is three-fold: First, it is an environment where administrators, teachers and students are seamlessly connected to the applications they need – and to each other – through a single desktop interface. Second, a Universal Learning Environment™ maximizes the benefits of a school district’s educational technology by enabling communication and collaboration in support of student achievement. Finally, a Universal Learning Environment™ is technology agnostic (it will work on nearly any computer, new or old, Mac or PC, desktop or laptop, wired or wireless) while lowering the overall cost of technology management and maintenance.
