Learnpremium Website

Please note: This is a lot of small print, but it is important that you read it, especially when it comes to needing help to resolve any problems.

Learnpremium is an online educational service owned by the Guardian Newspaper. EO members have been offered a joint, low cost subscription to Learnpremium, a digital subscription service aimed at primary and secondary age children and their teachers. EO has agreed to pay Learnpremium a lump sum and is making a small charge to each user to cover this cost.

Access to the service from now until October 2008 will cost EO member £19 per family. There are approximately 130,000 pages of online lessons and resources on a whole range of subjects. Due to our agreement with Learnpremium we can only offer this service to member of Education Otherwise.

Learnpremium resources include online lessons, whiteboard activities, Guardian lesson packs, randomly generated tests, student support and a daily news service for 9-13 year olds.

The web address has more details of the services available. If you would like to subscribe, please send your email address to Lynda Hitchman for details of how to pay your subscription fee and gain details of how to log on to the service.

Please note that, if you subscribe and should have problems accessing the program or you wish to use the Test Centre, you need to contact Lynda to resolve the problem. If you forget passwords, again it is Lynda you need to speak to.

OR Netscape Navigator 6 or higher
Windows Media Player - latest version

Pop-ups - the whiteboard activities are produced using pop-up software - if you have pop-up blocker prevention software installed on your pc you will experience difficulties opening these activities. If this happens, hold down the SHIFT key before opening the activity. This should either force the window to open or prompt the blocker to ask if you want to 'allow pop-ups from this website'.
