It is easy to imagine that learning portals like Scholaris emphasise the later secondary school years of education and the run into higher school exams and assessments. Although this phase of learning is of the utmost importance because it heavily influences and shapes the initial life choices of young adults, the story of Scholaris portal learning starts much earlier.

Scholaris Junior is designed to provide elements appropriate for the younger age group within the learning portal framework. Scholaris allows junior learners to be introduced to technology facilitated learning in a secure learning community without the risks of using the wild, wild web.

The student-facing side of the portal is designed to be rich, fun and engaging, and allows children to make the learning environment their own by personalising it with themes and avatars. It features social media elements such as blogs, wikis and forums skinned for the audience. A great benefit is that school work doesn’t have to be missed if attendance is not possible – students’ personalised learning environment is available online 24×7.

But it’s not just about fun and animated characters. The teacher-facing side of the portal provides the same great admin and time saving tools as Scholaris secondary which ultimately empowers teachers to spend more time teaching rather than shuffling paper.
