9 Digital Teacher training Several of our titles boast fully interactive and regularly updated learning platforms. Here, teachers can assign tasks and monitor students progress, while students are encouraged to learn independently through blogs, videos and games. The Richmond Learning Platforms offer the best of formal and informal learning and have three main sections. The easy-to-use portals offer author interviews, downloadable sample units and fun learning activities for students. Students can participate by commenting on the blogs, and will enjoy belonging to an online community of English learners. Teachers can also register students to the Virtual Learning Environments (VLE). Pre-populated with activities, the VLEs allow teachers to assign tasks to their students and set timings and pass marks for exercises. Scores are recorded in a grade book, allowing teachers to track their students progress. The Test Studios allow teachers to create their own interactive tests online or on paper. Teachers can create tests to revise by unit, a block of units or the whole book. It is easy to decide what to include in the tests from grammar and vocabulary and the four skills. It is also possible to choose whether to upload tests to a school VLE or LMS. The Richmond Vodcasts are a highly original and enjoyable series of short films providing a lively starting point for classroom communication. Students are introduced to our entertaining presenters and follow them as they complete a set of amusing challenges around the UK. Each film corresponds to a level of The Big Picture and New Framework and can be used in conjunction with either coursebook. 7

10 Richmond Digital IWB Our digital books are an invaluable learning aid in the classroom and are compatible with any interactive whiteboard. The software is easy to use and contains the material not just from the student s book but from each course component, all cleverly interlinked on screen.
