London Grid for Learning and Mangahigh.com announce partnership

Jan. 31, 2012 - PRLog -- London, 31/01/12 – LGfL and Mangahigh.com are today proud to announce that they have entered into partnership, allowing London schools to access Mangahigh through Unified Sign On (USO).

Mangahigh is a free maths teaching website for primary and secondary schools, which uses games-based techniques to generate very high levels of engagement amongst students. With USO now enabled, students at London schools no longer need to remember their Mangahigh login details, and staff no longer need to manage their class lists; the whole process has been automated, so it couldn’t be easier for schools to get started.
Bob Usher, LGfL Content Manager commented: “LGfL are delighted to have worked in partnership with Mangahigh to deliver a highly sophisticated and innovative offering for all schools connected to the LGfL network. By synchronising the school information management system with the Mangahigh’s class management tools, we now have  unique and highly engaging online maths games, which are seamlessly integrated into a pupil progress tracking system for the benefit of Pupils, Teachers and Parents.’
