Web App of the Week – Woodland Middle School Academy - UK

Web App of the Week is an award for outstanding users of Accessit Library. It’s a place to recognise nice-looking, useful user interfaces and is somewhere to turn to for inspiration.

This week Claire Bavister marvels us with her mastery of library communication. Woodland Middle School Academy’s Web App is a highly functional message board, as well as a comprehensive catalogue that can be accessed by pupils anywhere with an internet connection.

Claire has also built a functional click and delivery service that enables children to order books from their classroom, which the library then delivers. This saves the school unnecessary contact and helps keep the children reading in the classroom and reading for pleasure.

“During the first lockdown I got the Web App up and running which enables the children to be able to browse and order the books. I was then able to place their order and deliver the books to the classrooms. With our old system we wouldn’t have been able to do this. I also love the fact that pupils can access the Web App at any time, this is a great way for me to communicate reading achievements, promote books and just include any relevant information I think they should know.”

When asked what she likes the most about Accessit Library, Claire says:

“I like the way it is simple to use and the immediate help that is available through the customer portal. I also like the tutorials you can access through the customer portal, and ALeC, Accessit’s eLearning Centre.

The Web App is my favourite though as it’s such a valuable tool to communicate with all the children and to constantly update with new and exciting information.”

There’s no shortage of information on Woodland’s Web App, that’s for sure.

Woodland Middle School Academy has chosen an information rich approach when setting up their Web App. There are so many other ways that you can use your Web App too. That’s what makes Accessit Library so dynamic, user friendly and appealing to pupils, teachers, and librarians alike.

Accessit Library is truly a whole school resource that enhances digital classrooms, allows parents to make book choices with their children and provides multitudes of reporting options to demonstrate reading progress to the SLT and OFSTED.
