Digital Learning at PIC
At Playford International College we use a suite of effective online learning tools to provide a robust learning program for your student. All software platforms are designed to make our learning and student management transparent so that parents and caregivers have a clear view of how their students are progressing at our school.
The 2 main platforms which our parents / caregivers will use are Compass and Canvas.

|---|---|
SIS - School Information System | LMS - Learner Management System |
| STUDENT INFORMATION • Roll marking • Student Attendance • Student Notes • Chronicles | TEACHING & LEARNING • LAPs (Learning & Assessment Plans) • Assignments • Assessment |
The school employs Canvas as our Learner Management System (LMS) for all educational courses. Canvas is a cloud-based Learner Management System that is designed to make teaching and learning easier. Students have live 24/7 access to their courses, so they can learn from anywhere (as long as they are connected).
Canvas integrates with a range of educational software platforms and creates a single sign-in service for its users. Canvas provides educators, learners & parents / caregivers with access to live analytics about student performance and learning habits.
Canvas coexists on our site with other software applications such as Maths Pathway, Google for Education, Office 365 and more. These other learning tools are used as required by our curriculum.
