All staff in Belfast Hospital have been provisioned for LNI. We use it on a daily basis with pupils – eg the News feature. Children in hospital often feel isolated and it is a great feature to keep them up to date with selected current news items, (The NI features are of particular interest to them) They love to take part in opinion polls and the Chat Back feature.
We have set up an in-house course in LNI which is used for sharing resources across the split site (Musgrave and the Royal). The course folder has lesson plans and subject specific web links. We hope to expand this course over the coming weeks.
We plan to pilot the setting up of subject courses that would be available to pupils on home tuition. At the minute these pupils are very isolated. The discussion facility would allow them to interact with other children following the same course. The ideal scenario is that more mainstream schools set up courses so that education is accessible to all (including those in hospital and home tuition) in a more flexible way. However, the time required to do this is substantial and no-one wants to re-invent the wheel. A co-ordinated, collaborative approach to this would be welcome.
Performance - Apart from a few crashes on my home computer, LNI has worked well – fast response time.

I’m trying to get a feel for how LNI is working in schools both in terms of performance and indeed usage across subjects. Are you using it ? Hows it working for you?
