Case Study: Shireland Collegiate Academy achieves higher pupil engagement with Microsoft Corporation

Improving Pupil Engagement with Online Learning

Shireland Collegiate Academy, a UK K-12 school, was looking for a better way to engage pupils and raise achievement by making students more involved in their own learning before they entered the classroom. The academy turned to Microsoft Corporation for help, using Office 365 and Surface Pro 3 to support a “flipped” learning approach.

Microsoft Corporation implemented Surface tablets with Office 365 pre-installed so pupils could research topics in advance, review progress online with teachers, and use the devices as both laptops and tablets throughout the school day and for homework. The result was strong growth in pupil engagement, bucking the national trend, along with a parallel rise in achievement levels.
