Class Course gives primary teachers one place to organise all the subjects they teach in a class. They can plan lessons, share them on the classroom screen and keep families informed. Pictures and icons make the course more visual and help pupils understand and find what they need.
itslearning is a learning platform used by schools from primary through upper secondary, and into adult and vocational education. And Class Course is its new course type for primary schools. Teachers organise and present learning, young learners meet digital learning gradually, and the same platform grows with them into lower secondary.
Take a look at the 1A The Owl Class.
Each topic in Class Course is a theme or subject with its own picture: Numbers - 1 to 10, Letter of the Week, The Moon and Stars, Arts & Crafts. Inside a topic, every resource has a picture too. Pupils don’t need to read to find their way. They recognise the images that are associates to the activity.
With Class Course, teachers can:
Morning: share the plan
The teacher opens the Owl Class and makes the weekly plan visible, so everything for the week is in one place.
Lesson: present on the classroom screen
The teacher opens a page such as “The water cycle: one drop’s journey” and presents it on the smart board. Images, short text and a numbered list of the four stages guide the whole class through the topic together.
Afternoon: share practical information
The teacher posts an announcement and adds the resources for tomorrow’s topic.
At home: families follow along
Guardians open Parent Dashboard to see what is coming up in class.
Teachers tell us they want technology that saves them time. Class Course starts with the routines they already have. Many begin with one or two:
From there, teachers build a digital classroom that fits their needs, one step at a time. It’s a practical way to make everyday organisation easier.
Teachers can use the Page tool to create engaging lessons and show them in Presentation mode.
Class Course works well on interactive displays, smart boards and shared classroom screens. The teacher leads, and the screen brings the lesson to life. That gives pupils meaningful screen time: a clear topic, familiar pictures and a teacher guiding the way.
In primary school, the teacher manages the platform. Pupils see it when the teacher shows it in class, so one shared screen is enough for the whole class.
Pupils do best when teachers and guardians work together. Class Course and Parent Dashboard give guardians one place to follow their child’s activity in itslearning.
Families can see:
What’s coming up: tasks with deadlines and the daily schedule
What’s being taught: lesson plans and, if the teacher has enabled it, the linked assignments and resources
How their child is doing: grades, course progress and learning objectives
Everyday school matters: attendance, behaviour and school information, and guardians can report an absence directly
Guardians with more than one child can switch between them in one step via browser mode, on a phone, tablet or computer.
And the schools stay in control. They decide which reports guardians can see, and guardians only see information about their own children.
For many younger pupils, the classroom is the centre of school life. Class Course gives them a clear, welcoming and familiar space where pupils can see what they need and teachers can organise what matters most.
As pupils grow, they start to use itslearning on their own. In lower secondary, they take more responsibility for their own learning, and having everything in one place helps them take those first steps. The layout is already familiar, so they start with confidence from day one.
Why primary schools chose itslearning
Earlier this year, Alta Municipality in Norway selected itslearning as the learning platform for all 16 K-12 schools across the municipality, supporting approximately 3,000 students and teachers. The municipality named four reasons for its decision: an education-focused design, ease of use, the guardian portal, and strong security and integration capabilities.
Alta Kommune also chose Class Course for its younger learners. Primary pupils need an age-appropriate structure and navigation.
The municipality wanted a learning platform that could support pupils throughout primary and lower secondary education while remaining intuitive and easy to use, allowing teachers to stay focused on pedagogy.
Tove Knudsen, Head of Education in Alta Municipality,
Schools across Norway ask for similar things. They want digital tools that fit classroom teaching. They want consistency across year groups. They want strong collaboration between school and home. Most of all, they want technology that supports learning.
Alta Municipality chose a platform that lets teachers focus on pedagogy and gives younger pupils a structure that fits their age. Want to see how Class Course could work for your primary school? Talk to our team.
