Dear Parents/Guardians,
Xinmin Secondary – HOME-BASED LEARNING held on 29th April 2011
The school will be conducting our HOME-BASED LEARNING for Sec 1 to 3 and S409
pupils on 29th April from 8.00 am to 2.00 pm.
The objectives of this HOME-BASED LEARNING are as follows:
• to provide pupils an alternative learning experience facilitated through technology.
• to familiarise pupils with the newly adopted LMS (Learner-Management System) -
ASKnLearn that is enhanced for self-directed and collaborative learning.• to enhance student and school readiness in the event of school closure.
During this 1-day Exercise, Sec 1 to 3 and S409 pupils are NOT required to report to school.
Instead, they will stay at home to access the school's LMS portal to complete the learning
tasks assigned by their teachers. The e-lessons units are planned and scheduled according
to the timetable for the class on that day. Please take note that students are encouraged to
log into the LMS available from 8.00 am onwards as the system will not be accessible after
2.00 pm. This is to instil time mastery and prioritisation in our students as they work on a
given schedule and have sufficient time in the afternoon for their revision and completion ofother tasks.
If you do not have access to PC or Internet at home, your child/ward may use the school’s
computing facilities available in the computer labs and the library. Please complete and
submit the request slip attached to your child’s/ward’s form teacher. Your child/ward is
required to report to school by 7.20 am and he/she will be dismissed at 1.00 pm.
To minimise account login and browser-plugin errors, we encourage our pupils to have their
first-hand experience with the new LMS prior to Home-Based Learning. Pupils accessing
the LMS from home are required to do a system check on their home computer’s readiness
(browser, flash, swf plugin requirements) through the LMS portal. They are then required to
attempt a short module titled –<WHAT I WANT FOR SINGAPORE>. Please encourage your
child/ward to log into the LMS portal and attempt this module by the 23rd April (Friday) to
facilitate our tracking and necessitate solutions for any operation problems.
